CURRENT MISSION

ordinary family : extraordinarily hosting while homesteading.

ABOUT ME

My family and I used to travel / explore / wander the world at our own pace. We loved experiences of friends, food, history, culture, and adventure. It has been a long time since updating but there are some of our past travels at www.leka.ca NOW we are homesteading less then 1 hour outside of Ottawa. Come and visit us at our farmhouse retreat in the country.

PHILOSOPHY

to be kind, live aware, aspire to great things, challenge ourselves, and grow happy and healthy. Every day is an opportunity. We are all learning.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There is a great exchange that happens when doors open.

My husband, myself, and our two boys (12 & 18) help out where we can and are opening ourselves to welcoming and being welcomed.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to meet some like minded people who open their life to a global community :)

Algo increíble que he hecho

In the summer of 2010 we traveled the US and Canada (13,000kms) for 7 weeks on a super LOW budget (our car cost us $800) - we wanted to explore the world and spend more time together. This led to a 4 month family Eurotrip in 2011 where we climbed Mount Olympus ... and so much more. Then we spent 5 weeks playing in Costa Rica, then came our first ever resort experience in Cuba.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

We think we teach the children; and they in turn teach us so much.

Classes I could give: Felting, childbirth education, contemplating home/road/homeschooling, making bread/butter/jelly, . . .

Elmir could teach how to make wood pens on a lathe, how to set up a blog or website, how to balance Brandie.

Our children are social and engaging. Zion could talk about fixing cars or natural horsemanship. Eamon, about his ever evolving plans, games, and his chickens.

What we want to learn? everything. Especially related to building, wildcrafting, business building, any art and wildcrafting.
