  Descrição

  Come help us at our country home which is surrounded by thousands of acres of wildlife management areas. We live in a large, old house which was originally designed as a hunting and fishing lodge.
  
  Joseph is a retired professional photographer/part-time farmer and Deborah was a voice teacher at the University of Florida as well as in her private studio. We're both well-traveled and feel you will benefit from a cultural exchange here.
  
  Don't worry if your English isn't perfect. We're open and easy going with mixed communication and will make the effort to meet you where you are in your language ability.
  
  The land is mostly wooded, with a small pond. The air is clean, with hardly any light or noise pollution (still a good bit of nature noise) and stellar views day and night.
  This is natural wilderness, with all the critters that live here - if you are afraid of spiders, snakes, lizards and other creatures, you will probably not be comfortable here.
  
  Living a bit on the wild side, our yard needs to be tamed, so we are in need of help with general weed-pulling, raking, cleaning gutters, some landscaping etc.
  No skill required, we just need more hands.
  
  Our area is also rich in cultural opportunities. We can help you arrange trips to several nearby museums and historical sites.
