  Descrição

  We are located in the scenic town of Bella Coola, gateway to the Great Bear Rainforest.
  We have a beautiful home located in Hagensborg, just 30 kms away from down town Bella Cools, in a rural quite setting, We are surrounded by high mountain peaks, forests with old growth trees. We have a salmon creek that attracts grizzle bears during spawning season each year! My husband and I enjoy hiking our back country, cross country skiing during the winter, salmon fishing, forage in the forest for wild berries and enjoy our orchard with mature cheery, apple and pear trees for our consumption and also share with our neighbours and local community.
  There are two convenient grocery stores, a hardware store, local vet, seasonal cafés, hospital and airport that has direct flights from Vancouver south terminal to us..
  If you love being in nature, you will love our place!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  1. We see food as the first and great common way of cultural exchange so will welcome the workaway guest to share in traditional cuisine. We of course will provide the ingredients and go out shopping
  2. We are homesteaders and grow our own vegetables, fruit juices pressing from our orchard of fruit trees (during this time it will most likely be crab apple juice)
  3. As part of the Bella Coola Nuxalk Nation community, we will introduce the workaway guest to this community. There will be opportunity to participate in potlatch melas (a traditional Nuxalk communal meals
  4. We have a sea boat which we use to go to fish ocean salmon, crab and other seafood. We will bring the workaway on these trips as it is a great way to see and experience the outdoors.
  5. We will show them the old forests in our back country as well as the oldest know Cedar tree in Bella Coola. This is only accessed via boat and is a famous trip, demonstrating the need to conserve our forests!
  6. Nuxálk Nations run and curate the museum which is very rich awe inspiring.

  Algo mais...

  Our place is just off the main highway where the local bus runs each day on a timetable that we can share. They can take this form of transport down to the village town during their free time and visit the main areas of attraction.
  There are very well defined hiking routes and great places to view the spectacular glacier peaks.
  At the harbour where our boat is moored, there are sea kayaks for rent as well as guided kayaking tours and lessons.
  There is an old cannery with a great tour across from the mariner that is also a great day trip.
  Horseback back country tours on horse trails are also available.
  We are very welcoming, enjoy people's company and often hold bar-be-ques in our backyard or along the river and invite the neighbourhood.
  We will do our best to make our workaway guests feel are home, provide more suggestions on areas of interest and seek to suggest or get clarification if we do not have the exact answers to queries.
