  Descrição

  Hello! We are Lindsey and Sarah, two Canadian queer ladies living on our half acre on Gabriola Island. I (Lindsey) work from home remotely, and Sarah is a flower and vegetable farmer, gardener, landscaper, and animal lover! I've travelled the world as a workawayer, and am finally switching to be a host. We love Gabriola Island, it's a beautiful small town off of Vancouver Island and we're so excited to bring in new folks!
  
  We love workaway! We find it so rewarding to share our space with people from all around the world, make friends, learn about other cultures, and share skills. We've been hosting for over a year now and have built so many wonderful connections and can't wait to keep doing it.
  
  Our property is right next to the beach (see photos), so you will be a 5 minute walk from one of the best sunrise spots you've ever seen!
  
  We have two dogs, four cats, chickens, and ducks!
  
  We get a lot of messages, so it would be great if you could help us out a bit by answering these questions in your initial message to us :)
  - Do you have a car?
  - What dates would you want to come, and if the vibes are good, do you have flexibility on how long you can stay?
  - Have you done workaway before? If so, what kind of work did you do?
  - What are your red and green flags for a host/workaway experience?
  - What are three words your friends would use to describe you?
  - Would you consider yourself a dog person, or a cat person?

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We would love to welcome you into our community and learn about your culture. I've made some of my best friends on workaway, and would love to make more as a host. Message me if you have any questions or concerns, and I will be happy to answer them! Sarah is an AMAZING cook, and we love sharing meals with our friends. You're going to love it!

  Ajuda

  We're looking for people to help with our garden (we feed ourselves and workaways from the garden as much as possible), help with animal care, and help with yard work and small projects around our property. Any help in the garden will be for our own use, not for Sarah's farm business :)
  
  If you have any experience in the following areas, please let us know. If you don't, that's okay! We just want you to be willing to learn.
  
  - Working with basic power tools
  - Gardening
  - Animal care, specifically dogs, cats, and chickens.

  Acomodação

  Sarah and I live in a converted school bus, and you'll be living in our second converted bus. The bus can sleep 2-3 people, but sometimes we have other workaways sleeping in their camper vans who also share the kitchen. We usually have between 2 and 4 workaways staying with us.
  
  We have electricity and running water, but we rely on a water filter for drinking water. We use an outhouse to go to the bathroom and have a small shower room you would share with us (you have to go outside to get there). Basically, we like people to be comfortable with a camping setup and especially want people who enjoy being outside and in nature.

  Algo mais...

  Gabriola Island is full of dense forests of evergreen trees, towering sandstone bluffs, abundant wildlife, and an iconic West Coast shoreline are home to an awesome community of artists, makers, creators and innovators. Having a car is a plus, but we do have public transportation and hitchhiking is very common. We can also drive you to the ferry if you'd like to go into Vancouver or Nanaimo.
