Description
Hello!
We live on Vancouver Island in beautiful Victoria, BC. We are extremely fortunate to be close to the University of Victoria and a mere five houses from gorgeous Cadboro Bay Beach. We are partially retired teachers, and athletic (love to run, bike, paddle, swim, wilderness camp, skate, ski- you name it). We love to travel; we taught in Slovakia for two years, and my mum was Dutch. Because of our proximity to the university, and because of links to other countries, we've hosted many international students. We have a large beautiful urban garden filled with food and permaculture where we work quite hard assisted by our dog and cat. We have an active house (parkrun every Saturday at 9!), with offspring (who climb) living in a separate suite. We enjoy hosting and we hope to travel and do "Workaway" ourselves in the future.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
As we are both teachers, one history/woodshop and literature/writing/Indigenous literature/English Learners, we live our lives as lifetime teacher-learners. We've both coached several sports and love interacting with humans from all corners of the world. Our house is inclusive, vibrant, and often fun. A prospective Workaway person would need to be LBGTQ2S+ accepting and like (love?) pets. ☺️

Aide
Gardening (some heavy), pruning, clearing lifting, general property & woodwork w carpenter hubby, and some help with housework, sorting and cleaning etc- cat sitting & cuddling if we go away briefly.

Langues
Langues parlées
Anglais: CourantCet hôte propose un échange linguistique
Love languages and attempts to learn but I'm not very fluent in any other than English.
Hébergement
Garden "Sleeping" Cabin with a queen-sized bed. Handcrafted in 2010 by hubby and offspring. We share our main floor so you must come inside for the toilet and bathroom facilities, steps away. The cabin feels very private looking toward the garden, trees, fruit trees; it is quite paradisal. Breakfast and lunch can be negotiated. We're used to group/house dinners once a week when we are here, and we shop and cook according to a shared table. For better or worse, we tend to be extremely healthy eaters with several plant-based meals per week but we still enjoy animal protein as well. We've found that negotiating details is best with individuals. As described in another box, we make dinners. We could also make lunch unless the Workaway person would like to make their own. We try to be flexible.

Autres infos...
We are on the number 11 bus route 20 minutes from downtown Victoria's vibrant inner harbour. If you love to hike, run, walk, swim, paddle, breathe in natural beauty as well as a super arts scene, Vancouver Island is fabulous.
