Description
Long stays are welcome. Mature people with life skills only please.
Couples welcome.
We live close to many trails, bus routes and walking distance to downtown Langford. I am Pescatarian though leaning towards vegetarian.
Home to 5 fabulous fur kids “frenchies”, and the bosses our cats Tucker and Nyx. I have worked in healthcare for over 40 years, taking an early retirement due to a workplace injury.
I recognize and enjoy the small blessings in life. Love nature, gardening, home improvement and helping on my friend’s farm. Kindness and making a stranger smile is something I strive to do always. -

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Diversity is welcome in my home. I wish to learn from other cultures and share my Canadian/ English one. Though not religious I believe in spiritual peace through nature and being the best one can be.

Hi Travellers,
This is such a wonderful opportunity to meet new people. We look forward to meeting you.
I have accumulated much in my lifetime. Mainly through auctions and previous business and travel.
It’s time to enjoy a simpler life and let it go!
Hoping to get outdoor projects completed before winter. Carpentry/construction skills needed for some repairs. Installing a prebuilt deck, patio stones and garden cleanup are our outside priorities. I have the tools, just need help with the expertise.
Help needed… categorizing of items, taking pictures and listing items for reselling, small repairs, listing items for auction and other public platforms as well as donation. There is a lot to list.
Thanks to the amazing volunteers who have blessed me with their skills, compassion and time a huge portion of the clutter is gone. Loving the freedom of a more organized space💗
I’m looking for someone who is not afraid or deterred from the large scale of items to be listed. Someone who is highly organized and proficient with these tasks. Who is able to take on tasks with calm kindness. If you are able to help open an online shop, that would be fabulous.
If you are a get your hands dirty, I’d rather be outside, kind of person. I have some fun and rewarding projects for you…From building an arbor, laying pavers, staining the fence, woodwork, laying a deck to create a reading area. Home repairs.
Experience with home repairs, plumbing, electrical, carpentry would be an asset. Replacing a bathroom fan.
I love to learn and appreciate there are many ways to approach a project.
I am happy to share my skills as well as learn together. Thank you You tube. 😉
Dog walking and bathing as needed. Overnight care, feeding and loving.
You would be easy going, happy, positive, an innovator. Some one who loves to learn and share knowledge. Handy, helpful. Able to see what needs to be done and pitch in.
Organized is needed. Must love animals. Not adverse to frenchie snores.
The furkids and I enjoy daily walks around the lake. We welcome company.
We would be working together or alone depending on the project, communication and kindness are key.
Tackling a project with a sense of fun, enthusiasm and the joy of achievement is my style.
Hours expected 5 hours a day , 5 days a week. So far the consensus has been that 2 on 1 off, 3 on 1 off rotation works well. Though this is not set in stone and is flexible. Time of work is flexible based on the needs of volunteer and host.
This would be discussed in advance with all participating and time agreed upon.
Minimum of one week stay, though 2 plus weeks is preferred. -

Hébergement
This is a three bedroom. Sxs duplex.
There is a one bedroom shared accommodation available with two single beds. Suitable for one or two.
Downstairs there is a two piece bathroom, upstairs a 4 piece bathroom with shower/ bath. We would share the main living areas, kitchen and outdoor space.
Meals … I hope to share evening meal prep and would love to taste food from different cultures. Though if you don’t cook it could be a fun learning experience. I’m happy to share the kitchen. I do like to cook when others are enjoying it as well. My kitchen is usually well stocked with vegetarian and meat options
Special diets would need to be managed by the individual. -
Autres infos...
Buses are available within a 3 min. Walk. Electric bikes and scooters a five min. Walk away. We are 15 mins from Victoria by car. I’m happy to explore the sights, local areas, hikes etc.
Langford lake and Thetis lakes are lovely for swimming, paddle board, kayak. Mill Hill and Mt Finlayson a great hike. Both are close by as well as many other beautiful beaches and outdoor spots.
I’m a pretty quiet, easy going person, I find myself lacking in company and love spending time talking with my farm friends, workaway helpers. They encouraged me to become a workaway host.
My life generally focus’ around animals and nature. Helping friends with their projects. Giving back. Food donation programs.
Though not a big tv watcher , I do love audiobooks.
Non smoking /non vaping home
No smoking or vaping please.
Clean up after yourself, your room, common areas including dishes.
Be kind to animals
Although I eat pescatarian/vegetarian my furkids are on a raw or home cooked meat diet. -
