Vacation rentals in Brampton

At each 'A taste of Jamacia', we'll start off with some nice welcoming reggae music and a refreshing Dragon stout. We will talk a bit about your favorite Jamaican food, fruits and spices, the music culture and your visiting experiences. Hands on cooking demos where you'll learn how to cook perfectly golden ripe fried plantains and moist, juicy jerk chicken. And of course sit down and enjoy the full meal I prepare for the you. You will also learn some of the rich cultural history of Jamaica dating back to the late 17th and early 18th century during the session. Please note.... Due to covid 19 restrictions and concerns we have decided to take our experience on the road. Just imagine having a Professional, private chef cooking dinner for your friends and family and enjoying this experience in the comfort of your Airbnb stay or in the privacy of your home. When making your reservation please indicate your choice of service as the prices differ. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

We start with a tour of the backyard and an introduction to greens you may have never met before. Say "hello" to kale, chard, sorrel, nettle and the more familiar lettuce and parsley. In addition to greens I'll demonstrate how I care for other vegetables, including peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, beans and squash as well as rhubarb and strawberries. Next you roll up your sleeves and get your hands in the dirt. You have a chance to prepare the ground and plop seeds into the soil. I'll teach you about my watering technique and tell you some of my weeding tips. My goal is to inspire U to Grow It! for you and your family at home. Other things to note This is a hands-on, tactile & active experience. You will get dirt under your fingernails, and you will see, touch & smell the magic of mother nature. For most shoe sizes I can provide rubber boots.

Disconnect and unplug from the city and enter a nourishing and healing haven that is sure to leave you feeling alive. We will take a leisurely walk through the trees and connect with the ground and tree energy in Toronto's biggest and most beautiful park- a historic attraction and home to an ancient Oak Tree Savannah. We will later walk to a more secluded part of the park- sheltered by trees in an enclosed area. where you will experience a small group yoga class under the canopy of the trees with an experienced yoga teacher. I will lead you through a 70 minute therapeutic hatha practice and meditation. The energy of the tall trees will support us. This practice will rejuvenate you and ignite you and you will feel deeply rooted to the ground that support the Oak trees. We will then picnic in a nearby location and enjoy a healthy light lunch of fresh local Ontario Farm Fresh Organic Goodness. This will be a great way to start your day in Toronto. * Please note while this private experience is for up to 2 people, I am available for private bookings of larger groups. Contact me for info and larger group rates which can be arranged here on AirBnB. This is ideal for team building, family celebrations like birthdays/anniversaries and friend/family mindful reunions. I know how valuable your day and time is. I want to help make it great connecting to nature, yoga and health. Other things to note Please let me know of particular mobility issues or areas in body that need care. I work with all levels of practice. If you have this experience in mind to complete with another person- let me know! This experience is ideal for COUPLES, DATES, ANNIVERSARY, or BDAY celebrations and SMALL FAMILIES.

This experience is all about getting outdoors and into nature. We'll search for local birds in one of 3 fantastic bird-watching hotspots in Toronto. We'll identify species and then record our sightings as citizen scientists using an app. Most locals don't know the variety of birds that can be found on the edge of Lake Ontario. While our main focus is birds, we might come across a rabbit, beaver, muskrat, mink or coyote as we look for birds, nature and landscapes to photograph. Bring a camera with a lens that provides a range from wide-angle to telephoto so we can photograph anything from insects to mammals. In this experience, I will cover how to see the light and composition as well as provide tips for photographing birds and wildlife. This experience is about the art of seeing in photography and not about the technical aspects of photography. Smartphones can work for this experience too. You'll go home with photography tips, a peaceful time in nature, and hopefully photos of our bird sightings. Covid-19: Please keep a 2-metre distance, bring a mask should we need to get closer, and do a self-assessment.

Are you trying to get your aging family member onto social media? Let me help! We’ll begin with an introductory chat at a local organic coffee shop. A cup of bird-friendly coffee or tea and a home-made goodie will be my treat, as we get to know one another a little. This is also a great chance to get your parent/grandparent/aunt set up with an Instagram account, if they don’t already have one. (Don’t worry, I will guide them through each step, and we can trouble shoot together!) Then we’ll head outside and take a few photos along Toronto’s beautiful waterfront. Whether it’s a breezy summer day or a crisp, cool, winter wonderland, we’ll soon have some gorgeous photos to share with friends and family. Next, we’ll head back to my place nearby for some free wifi, so that we can edit, upload and share their photos with the world (or just their inner circle, if they prefer!) Over a refreshing drink (water, tea or juice), I’ll show them how to craft a catchy caption and create their own hashtags. Finally, we’ll explore the ‘gram a little, to find others with similar interests and hobbies. Social media can be a wonderful place to make new friends, and I’m excited to share both the expressive and the receptive aspects of Instagram. Ask as many questions as they want while we’re working together... this experience is all about getting them online and building their tech savvy! Other things to note This experience is open to all; English language learners and LGBTQ+ folks are particularly welcome! Please reach out if you have any questions, or if you prefer a different date or meeting location. I want to make your learning experience an enjoyable one, and will do my best to accommodate.
