Description
We are a mature couple travelling from Nova Scotia to Tuktoyuktuk and back this summer. We are looking for a few places to stay and help out between June-September 2026. We have our own camper van. Together, we have a wealth of skills including farming, computers and all aspects of building. We speak English, and Thomas speaks German as well. Looking for adventure and experiences!

Our jobs included planting seedlings, pruning an olive orchard and some cleaning. We loved sharing meals with the family, such great food! Our room was so beautiful and we enjoyed… read more

We spent a great week with Diana, Standa and their two children. Our chores included planting onions and Lemon Balm seedlings, and we were glad to help start a new lean-to on the back of their house! We enjoyed our many conversations and learned so much about herbs from Diana. Their small town is a quiet place, but we enjoyed our evening walks.… read more

From the very first moment we met at the station, it has been a pleasure to host Jayn and Thomas.The deep laugh of Jayn, the caring gentleness of Thomas make everything easy; they devoted to our project to build a cabin around huge old windows, and left to themselves as I went away for4 days, managed to settle the frame for the future yoga studio!… read more
