Kashtin's Misadventures: Mermaids and a Sasquatch

I am different than other hosts as I offer real Northern life activities, adventures and some local trips for a little shared help with day to day chores. Since “Life truly begins outside your comfort zone”, I offer Northern challenges!

You can spend your time reading a book in front of the cozy woodstove in Winter or on a sunny hidden beach in Summer. Swim in the lake or have a campfire. Search for an awesome photograph of sunrise, wildlife or mountains, we have lots of awesome scenery! Try baking bread in the oven and cooking delicious meals. Hike up a mountain. Discover secret hot springs and World's smallest desert.

Have you ever tried snowshoeing? Tenting in the snow? Swimming in a lake at night? Taken a Dip in a natural wilderness hot spring?

Hunt for a Sasquatch or wear a mermaid tail in the lake.

You do have three days a week off to do your own thing. Explore Whitehorse, hike the local area and do programs at the Canada Games Center, or stay at home and enjoy the wilderness.

I treat my guests as friends and as my family, never as workers or employees. There are no work commitments, therefore no Work Visa is required. We share this Northern lifestyle. We share a home, we share meals and we share adventures and roadtrips. You have lots of control over deciding the meals, activities and trip destinations. I have hosted for over 14 years, so I am a knowledgeable local who has taken my past guests all over Yukon, Northern BC and Alaska. I look for an enthusiastic and adventurous guest who can make their stay an adventure for them and for me.

If you are considering going, you will not regret it. Stephen is the loveliest, most generous host I have ever stayed with. I feel so lucky to have experienced Yukon and Alaska with him and Juneau. It is a truly unique experience you will not get elsewhere in Canada. Thank you Stephen for everything 🙏

If you want the luxury of waking up to beautiful sunrises, counting endless stars in the night sky and seeing amazing sceneries, this experience is for you! I am so glad I stumbled upon Stephen here on Worldpackers because these last two months have been a blast. I got to learn so much about the Yukon and life up there and am amazed by Stephens knowledge of history. I got out of my comfort zone and am so grateful for it. It has been a big adventure that I will always carry in my heart.

I spent a month and a half in Yukon, and it was the most amazing travel experience of my life! Stephen is an extraordinary host, extremely kind and patient. I met equally incredible travelers, and together we shared truly unforgettable moments.
The breathtaking landscapes, road trips, fun and challenging moments, and memorable trails were all part of this incredible experience. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. If you're looking to explore a wonderful place in the heart of the wilderness, this trip is a must. Thank you again, Stephen, for hosting me so well.
