Details
Description
I live in a beautiful rural area near Quesnel, British Columbia (BC). BC is the most western province in Canada. I live in a large log home on 160 acres with lots of trees. It is a quiet restful place out of sight of neighbors and highways. It is a 5 minute drive to the nearest town where there are restaurants, stores, a hospital and clinics.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I travel by vehicle around western Canada in my work so it may be possible to travel with me on occasion. This will give you experience in the most beautiful parts of Canada and see some parts of our country off the tourist path. I am a forensic investigator/consultant so you may be able to assist in my work at times.
Help
Some work is required clearing fallen trees, brush trimming but no heavy work. Some painting may be possible and general home renovations. Bringing in winter firewood is a big part of the summer and autumn work.
