  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  You will be in one of the most beautiful locations in Canada on the Gulf islands located on the Pacific Ocean between Vancouver and Victoria just north of the USA Border. You will be surrounded by wildlife and nature. Everyday you will see eagles soaring past you to their nest not far away, sea lions and otters playing on the shore below and on a good day perhaps orcas and whales. Galiano is a forested island with many hiking trails and beaches to explore. Large enough for a pub, several restaurants, stores and many social activities to interact with the locals. The islanders are a well traveled community so finding someone to speak your language will always be possible. My husband is from the Netherlands so speaks Dutch as well as some German and French.

  Looking for experienced (carpenter, painter) to help to finish a shed and greenhouse. If there is time we will be splitting firewood.
  
  During the Winter Woodlot maintenance to fire safe our home is our number 1 priority. We will gather and burn downed branches. Removing invasive species (broom and black berry) This is an outside project so lots of fresh air and very physical. After we burn the wood we often cook our meal over the hot coals, delicious.
