East Coast gardening by Kouchibouguac National Park, Canada

  Description

  Come and experience the beautiful east coast of Canada while you help the host transform the outdoor space into a place of relaxation and beauty - it is a fun and creative project! I live right next to a national park which has over 60 km of hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing trails to enjoy all year and one of the best local beaches to enjoy in the summer (12 km away). You can walk into the park from my home all year long and I also have a bike and kayaks that you can use spring to fall as well! You can kayak in the lagoon behind the beach or on the rivers that go into the national park. I also make occasional trips to the nearby towns and the city of Moncton.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I am an English language teacher so if you are looking to improve your English I can help improve your pronunciation and explain the structure of the language for you. I also am happy to share what I know of Canadian culture. I am new to the French Acadian culture that is around me now on the east coast - we can learn more about it together!
