  Description

  Born and raised on the west coast of Canada and have returned to my hometown island after years of traveling, living in cities and living abroad. Carpenter, landscaper, freelance photographer, animal lover, record collector & music lover!
  
  Located on the beautiful Gulf Islands in southern BC Canada nestled between Vancouver and Victoria. I recently bought a piece of land in the forest with only a big barn surrounded by fir and cedar trees where I live with my two cats Hazy & Leo:) I'm almost done building a cozy tiny home that is close to being finished. The plan is to slowly expand the garden, fix up and maintain the property and build a sauna! One day I hope to be able to host free community based eco projects/events.
  
  I'm new to Workaway but love the idea of meeting new people from all over the world and showing them around the beautiful island I live on. I also can't wait to be traveling again myself!
