Workawayers can learn how to plant and take care of a garden, carpentry, building with sustainable practices from green roofs to solar energy. You will have lots of practice speaking English. Your workaway would be easy or as involved as you like. I will be home help you as much as I can. I like to make delicious healthy food, and love to learn other cultures' dishes! If you are studying or working online, you will have time to do it. I will be happy to show you beautiful Vancouver Island and BC
Ajuda
Currently I am looking for someone to help me restore a large property in central Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, British Colombia, Canada. The help includes carpentry, gardening and transforming the 120 year old barn in my back yard into an green house, workshop/studio and living space. We are doing this work using sustainable practices. Much like a earth ship but with less visible tires. The tires will just be used for the foundation. All systems in the barn will be as off grid as possible.
I love to share knowledge, traveling stories and going on hiking adventures. Always something new and interesting to do here. The house and barn are about 120 years old. The house I am modernizing but keeping its beautiful original fixtures. The large permaculture garden and small orchard are always ready for someone give them attention. I am located in the middle of the best Hiking. Skiing, Surfing and Outdoors/Nature Canada has to offer. So if you have any questions and/or interested in visiting me here, send me a message.

After I arrived he showed me all the different projects he was on and we talked about where to start. I would say we got a lot of work done while relaxing in the garden and sipping margaritas.

The three of us made such a great team! It must have been your definitive music selection that put us in those focused and enjoyable working days. Your selection of hiking trails for us was most eye opening for me-I never thought that bush wacking could be so much fun. In addition, I need to thank you for opening my eyes… read more
