Vom Host für Workawayer (Shawn)
Shawn was a great help around here. His skills are varied and very knowledgeable. We gave him tasks to complete and completed them without question. We are hoping to have Shawn back again soon .

I learned a lot of what I am capable of doing now and where I still need improvement, thank you for providing the flexibility. I appreciate the home cooked clam chowder and the endless cheddar cheese. May you have many more positive experience in your life going forward.

I thank Ken & Dana so much for their hospitality, for sharing their home and their thoughts with me, and for giving me a great time that I will never forget. For four weeks I was able to call the sweet little tiny house in their beautiful garden, which was also my main workspace, my home. On work days, Dana would pick me up and most of the time we

Dana and Ken even helped me realize my own building project. After work, Ken sometimes surprised us with his super tasty barbecue skills and I got to explore beautiful Lake Cowichan and the surrounding area, sometimes with Dana and his kayaks. It was a great experience that I will never forget. I'm already a little homesick for your place! Thank you so much for that!

I would like to share my feedback on my stay with my hosts Dana and Ken. It was an incredibly diverse and educational experience that I would not want to miss. During my stay, I had the opportunity to do a wide range of activities that helped me to expand my skills.
One of the highlights was the opportunity to immerse myself in various gardening
… read more tasks, including the assembly of a small greenhouse. This experience allowed me to contribute to the development of the estate while enhancing my understanding of horticulture and construction skills.
I was also able to improve my manual skills, particularly in the area of woodwork. From chopping wood to sanding wood, I was able to take on various tasks.
Overall, my workaway was an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only did I learn new skills, but I also gained valuable insights into a different way of life and culture. I am deeply grateful to my hosts for the opportunity to be part of their project.
Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Teddy)
Ted was great to have around, he is a great worker that is always enthusiastic to get things done. His English has improved which was one of his goals. Always kept the accommodation neat and tidy and respected our home. If Ted ever wanted or needed a place he would be more than welcome. I would highly recommend Ted if you are needing a helper.

You will wake up with the sound of birds every morning.

Thanks guys!
Enjoy!!
