  Descrição

  I only have space left for possibly one more person, only long term, mostly for social media!!!
  
  --- MAIN SEASON--- (May-October)
  
  Helping building my little farm, gardening & household while enjoying the amazing wildlife & nature (ideally May - Oct +)
  
  My posting is more about a deeper experience of the area and people. 2 months minimum stay, I prefer longer stays over shorter ones.
  
  As the B&B might be closed this season I will mostly focus on developing my little farm, beside going on tours.
  
  I'm on the water almost every day, all day, so I'm looking for mature, pro active workaways who want to enjoy living here over the summer and fill in where needed. In return you will come on private wildlife tours with me when I have space.
  
  Please read the complete profile before applying!
  
  Hi! I'm Rolf. I run a small, private B&B (one guest room), along with ethical wildlife photography tours where we observe bears, whales, sea otters, and other incredible animals. I also maintain a small farm growing veggies for our guests and ourselves, plus a vermiculture (worm farm).
  
  I work hard but love what I do, and I'm looking for like-minded people who enjoy being proactive and learning new skills. Everything here is small-scale, personal, and driven by sustainability and passion—not profit.
  
  I'm looking for mature, independent, nature-loving people who enjoy tranquillity and aren’t afraid to pitch in where needed.
  
  This is my family home and I'm are looking for people who feel comfortable in this environment, comfortable around us and who love to take ownership of their tasks. This is not a job with set times; our place is a constantly changing environment, it is always busy but also always relaxed. You will also be able to join me on some of my wildlife tours.
  
  I do pay minimum wage for working hours, normally around 10 hours per week.
  
  I do have two boys, 15 and 16 (Down Syndrome) who are normally here during weekends.
  
  What I'm Looking For:
  - Reliable, mature, independent, and proactive people
  - Comfortable talking to international guests
  - Able to spot what needs to be done and take initiative
  - Enjoy peace, nature, and working solo rather than partying
  - Someone who enjoys to spend a lot of time in the garden or wants to learn about growing food
  - A great fit for our small, friendly team
  - Good English is a must

  Acomodação

  You have two options for your stay:
  🏡 A private room in the house (with your own bathroom).
  
  Most weekends my two boys coming home. They are 15 & 16 and my older guy has down syndrome. They are both great fun and you get bonus points if you like to play basketball and bounce on trampolines, since they love to play and bounce! We have a beautiful 2.2-acre property, and sometimes my neighbours two horses stay here.

  Algo mais...

  You won’t have a boss watching over you—I trust my Workaways and consider them part of the family. We’ve built lasting friendships with past volunteers, and I want everyone here to be happy, fulfilled, and well-supported.
  
  If you’re looking for a unique, hands-on experience in a peaceful, wildlife-rich paradise, we’d love to hear from you!
