    *️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️We are looking for an easy-going, independent female Workaway to join us for ONE WEEK helping with general household duties spring garden clean-up, cooking/baking, and German or French language exchange with our young adult daughter ( if able). OR if you have carpentary skills, we would have a shelf-making project for you. If you enjoy cooking/baking, it can be one of your tasks. In return during your stay, you will enjoy being part of our family and have lots of time to explore beautiful Victoria and Vancouver Island. *️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️

    We would be willing to host you for about 7 days in July till mid-August.

    We are a family with three young adult children. We have lived, studied &/or worked in the US, Canada, Asia and Europe.

    As a family, we love to travel and discover new places and meet new people.

    When you write to us, please let us know a bit about yourself. How many in your family? Do you live in the city or country? What do you like to do when you are not working or studying? Do you have any special talents ie soccer or crocheting, for example?

    We receive multiple requests on average per month. Thus, the more detailed your introductory email to us, the better. You would more likely receive a response from us.

    We love to eat and would love to share our favorite recipes with you. AND, if you like, we'd like to learn some new dishes from you!

    We would be flexible with the volunteer work you can provide. We appreciate your positive energy and ability to work independently.

    If you love to cook, you could have full reign of the kitchen. If you enjoy kids, you will enjoy our household.

    We live on an enchanting half acre property by a lake, surrounded by many trails, on a mountain in the city of Victoria.

    We have had exchange students in the past and have been exchange students ourselves so we have a good understanding of cultural diversity and communication. If you are looking to have a language and cultural exchange with a gregarious group, we are the family for you.

    We have hosted many workaways when the kids were younger and we are ready to host again.
