Johnathon and Sonia from Halifax Wwoofers 47 & 48




We were Johnathan and Sonia's first WWOOFER hosts. And although they were only here July 3rd to the 13, we hope their experiences with us encourages this positive couple to continue with the program. They had started their journey camping in Banff and then came here to Golden on route to visiting and Wwoofing their way to California for September, at which time they will return to Halfix in the fall, where Sonia for sure will continue with her studies. Sonia and Johnathan are very interested in organic gardening, sustainable lifestyles and influencing positive global changes. Sonia and Johnathan both played the guitar and sang, and Johnathan was very good at playing his ukulele. Around the campfire Loren even played some accordion while Johnathan played his ukelele. They were very helpful in the garden (weeding, feeding and thinning). Sonia had plenty of experience as a gardener, as she volunteered at the Dalhousie community garden and had a garden of her own in Halifax. Together they finished up the raking of the pond casting (a huge job), picked strawberries, helped build next years compost and cleaned the barn. Johnathan was a huge help at the sawmill, where he helped Loren with the milling of the cabin flooring and ceiling material. Johnathan and Sonia left on the medi bus for Cranbrook where they hitchhiked onto to Nelson. They phoned to say they had arrived in Nelson and that getting a ride was relatively easy.
This video was written, produced and performed by Sonia and Johnathon. They own the copyrights..
Once they left here they headed first to Nelson, then to Penticton and their last email said they were on their way to Woof in the US on route to California.
