    Description

    Hi, I'm a widow in my sixties and live with my cat Tiger and my two horses Smokey and Sissi in one of the most beautiful areas of Canada, the West Chilcotin. Originally coming from Switzerland my late husband and me settled down in Nimpo Lake where we found a beautiful log home nicely situated at the Dean River / Nimpo Lake where fishing is just great. Since my husband passed away in 2022 I try to get all the work done as best as possible. Besides my many chores, works, repairs and projects I love to go trail riding in the bush which helps me to unwind and enjoy God's amazing untamed wilderness.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    I'm a Christian and love to share my faith if interested.To live in a remote area (300 km from next bigger town) without the possibility of going shopping all the time is a challenge in itself. It is a peaceful and quiet country living with plenty of time to reflect. Our next community is an Indian reserve which offers lots of opportunities to meet and learn about their culture.

    I'm living in a beautiful log home and have a spare room with wireless internet. The meals are wholesome, healthy and there is always plenty. Since I have a little veggie garden and greenhouse, I have my own fresh produce during summertime.

    The Nimpo Lake area is famous for quality fishing. Since I'm situated in a very remote area there are lots of outdoor activities available: Wildlife watching, hiking, trail riding, fishing, biking, mountain climbing and a trip to Bella Coola by the Pacific. There are lots of opportunities to meet other people.

    Sissy

    Sissy is a 6 year old bay mare and a real wild horse from the Chilcotin. We found her in 2020 in the bush when she was a little 3 days old filly abandoned by her momma and herd. She was already very weak and we had no idea what happened to her family. So we rescued her and started bottle feeding which she immediately accepted.

    Tiger aka Kitteli

    Kitteli is my inside/outside cat and he is 8 years old. He is a fantastic hunter and loves to be outside. In the winter time he prefers to be in the house and loves to sleep close to the wood stove.

    Smokey

    Smokey is a 21 year old gelding. His coat colour is blue roan which makes him change his colour from black to blue/grey twice a year. He is a sweet heart and already a senior!
