  Description

  Right now we have a 7 acre property with a cabin and garden spaces. We are hoping to expand gardening and always have building projects on the go. We love dreaming up creative projects to do outdoors and this summer we are hoping to get a cob pizza oven made!
  
  We like to share yummy meals and be in good company, are curious, good listeners and love a good dance party too!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I love to cook and would be into swapping recipes. I can show you a few things about gardening, art stuff, and first aid (I work as an EMR). If you want to practice English, I’m happy to help, and I speak Punjabi too.
  
  Hernan’s into functional training and can share workouts if that’s your thing. He’s also been learning carpentry and building stuff around the property, so if you're into tools or DIY, he'd love to chat or work on something together.
  
  We’re both into bushcraft and foraging and want to get better at fishing, so if you know anything about that, awesome! Or we can all figure it out as we go.

  What else ...

  On your time off, there are lots of beaches, hot springs (free and paid, natural and built up) and hikes to explore. The closest beach is about a 10 minute walk from our place. You will have access to canoes and kayaks, and I would be into taking the time to explore some areas too. We are also very close to a golf course if that's your thing. We recently acquired a houseboat and want to spend some time on there fishing, exploring, swimming. Trips to town happen a few times a month and you're welcome to come along, there is also a weekly bus that goes to Nakusp.
