I had an amazing time with Marylynn and Doug!! It was really lovely to disconnect from the rat race and really immerse myself into the beautiful nature that is Haida Gwaii. Marylynn and Doug were incredible at providing me free time and ample opportunity to explore the island while also working on very manageable chores like washing eggs, weeding, and helping prepare for the weekly farmer's markets.
