    Description

    We are a young family with 2 boys. We own a little farm with goats and sheep, some chickens in the summer and dogs and cats. We are looking for help since we both work a lot and a farm and a house is almost a full time job in itself.

    We love to travel but when we are in Canada we travel through our volunteers listening to their stories and tasting some or their home country food.

    So far we visited 33 countries and counting. We spent a year traveling with our kids in Africa, Asia and Central America. We would love to share our stories as well. :)

    There is always a lot to do with us since our heads is filled with countless projects.

    Feel free to ask questions to see if we could be a great fit for your next volunteering :)
