  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, and athletic (love to paddle, swim, wilderness camp, skate, ski- you name it). We love to travel and taught in Europe for two years. 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 garden filled with food and permaculture where we work quite hard assisted by our dog and cat. We have an active house with offspring 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, pruning, clearing lifting, general property and house help, sorting and cleaning etc- we are hosting a wedding gathering AND a graduation backgarden BBQ for loads of international guests from all over the world and between working, renovating and so forth, we need helpers who can lean in and also take some initiative- although, we are asking lots on the latter because we have had four different workaway helpers before who were amazing! :)

  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 and trees. Breakfast and lunch can be negotiated. We're used to group/house dinners 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 can also make breakfast and lunch unless the Workaway person would like to make their own breakfast and lunch. We are flexible and wish to ensure the person is comfortable with either.
