Detalhes

Descrição
My name is Orrin And me and My wife Gina and we have a small acreage in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in British Columbia,Canada. We have a small hobby farm in the making and a wellness retreat. We have woodland gardens and are in the midst of making a small pasture and barn for animals to live in in the near future. We have vast flower and vegetable gardens and acres of lawn. We have lived on the property for 6 years and have been upgrading the place since we moved here . We just had 2 amazing young ladies from Germany stay with us for the month of April and it was amazing!!! We would love to again host 1 or 2 eager individuals who would like to share their love for wilderness in a zen woodlands setting. We have a fully functional apartment above our garage that would be perfect for 1 or 2 people to stay in. If there was a couple who are in this program, our place could work out great, as they would have their own private home separate from the main house to stay in . The Cowichan Valley is between Victoria and Nanaimo. We are an hour away from Port Renfrew and 1-2 hours away from vast old growth forests like the Carmanah and Whalbran Valleys . The list of amazing places you can drive to within a couple hours is endless

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Having a yoga studio/wellness retreat on the property has made us realize how important human connection is . We would both profit greatly by learning about each other and our cultural differences. Our place is a place of zen and woodland tranquility. Trails going to the river and to high mountain views. Many forest animals, many of which live on the property most the time .

Ajuda
Being midway through our latest adventure with travellers staying with us and adding to the awesomeness here on the property, we have nothing but great things to say about this program. When we moved here our intention was to transform our piece of paradise into the super zen forest retreat , but now with the help of so many amazing humans from across the globe, it’s happening faster than we could have imagined. We will be starting the build on our mini barn here in the next week or two and the current couple is sadly goin to be leaving us by the end of June, so we are wondering if there are any couples that have some carpentery skills and/or landscaping ability that wanna come hang out sometime after the beginning of July. We will offer some serious perks and will make it as worth it as possible for someone who can help us turn this barn and pasture into something for everyone to enjoy for years to come .

Idiomas
Inglês: Fluente

Acomodação
We have a private 1 bedroom apartment above our detached garage and would prefer to have a couple as there’s 1 bedroom with a king bed . We will supply food and a kitchen but will most likely share meals in main house occasionally.
