Description
[*HELP NEEDED NOW UNTIL SEPTEMBER 26*]
We located on an acreage in Kelowna in the lovely Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. There is plenty of recreation close by with hiking trails, cycling trails (incl. the Myra Canyon Trestles), horse riding, kayaking/paddle boarding in the Okanagan Lake, wine tasting or just hanging out at City park or in the summer on our local beaches (our favourite is Gyro beach). -

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
In the summer, you will be dealing with DIY and so forth. Family life, cycling, weeding, irrigation, painting, sweeping, dealing with the tractor mixed in with BBQs.
In the winter, you will enjoy easygoing life with a lot of snow. Have the opportunity to experience what life is like on an acreage in the winter. -
Aide
In the summer we look for an outdoor loving couple (or friends traveling together) to help us on our 7 acres. Life on the acreage involves DIY, gardening, fixing irrigation pipes, weeding, painting, help around the house, having weekend barbecues and marshmallows over fire.
In the autumn the focus is more on getting things ready for the winter such as winterizing the irrigation (and RV!). We also start to get the house ready; packing away al the summer stuff, unpacking all the winter gear, raking leaves, cleaning out storing areas, cooking, cleaning, etc.
In the winter, the focus is all on the house/family with the occasional bonfire. Cooking, baking, cleaning, homebrew beer, running errands, completing DIY projects, shovelling snow, etc.
In the spring we will get ready for the summer. Packing away winter gear and taking out summer stuff, checking pipes, trimming anything in sight, getting plants ready, preparing irrigation, cleaning out storing areas, DIY, painting, cooking, baking, etc -

Hébergement
In the winter, your accommodation will be in a spare room in the family home. Some family meals will be created by you. We encourage you to make some of your traditional dishes!
In the summer, you will have you own private accommodation in a large RV (campervan) giving you your own space. The RV gives plenty of space for a couple or friends travelling together. In the RV ‘s galley you will be able to cook your meals. We will pay for your food. -
Autres infos...
The bus stop is a 10 minute walk away. There is plenty of recreation close by, hiking trails, cycling trails (incl. the Myra Canyon Trestles) horse riding, swimming & fishing in the Okanagan Lake and wine tasting. Bicycles can be made available if needed.
In the winter we sometimes go to Big White ski resort Saturday / Sunday (ski/snowboard/snowshoeing). -
