Description
I'm a German marine activist and have swam huge open ocean costal routes since 2007, completing 8,778 kilometers in long haul swims for Marine Protected Areas in various parts of the world.
When I'm back in Canada which is usually from the end of March until the end of October, I dedicate myself to my lovely wilderness property as well as planning swims for the following season.
There are many things that I can no longer do because of health issues since I am 70 years old.
What I'm looking for in a Workawayer is a helper, doing things I am not able to do anymore, in particular outside maintenance jobs like: power washing, deck repainting, weed whacking paths through the forest, window washing, etc.
I might also need some help with things on a computer like website maintenance. I am in the beginning stages of writing a book and may ask a workawayer to take dictation for that. -

Aide
I mostly need a hand with outside maintenance jobs like: power washing, deck repainting, weed whacking paths through the forest, window washing, cutting firewood and stashing it, etc.
Once all of this is done, I would like help with decluttering my home! -

The nearest beach is 10 min walk on a beautiful trail behind the house. I have 2 bicycles available and with a little TLC they can take you as far as you'd like to go!
The nearest town is Sidney and you can get there by bicycle in approximately 20 min. My community is called Deep Cove and it's 6 km away from Sidney! -

I rescued my lovely kitty cat in 2019 and he has been with me ever since. Everybody loves this cat and he loves everybody, especially my workaways! I hope I can add photos here of him, but in my main profile, there is a photo of a work away er holding him in his arms. He loves being picked up.
