Vancouver Island Paradise


The experience

Hey there!

I have a beautiful home on 5 acres, surrounded by nature, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I am looking to host one or two people at a time. The help required during your stay will vary between basic yard work, to clearing land and building various structures. For example, we just built a small fence for our dogs.
