Vom Host für Workawayer (Nina & Ari)
We had Ari and Nina with us for about 3 weeks. I was their first Workaway experience so I’m pleased I can give them a great review. They are a wonderful young couple who are eager to do whatever I needed. Some jobs were a bit of a learning curve but they took direction well. They helped with the kitchen clean up after each meal. But what I really

Our stay at Michelle's and Rob's place was great! We were here for three weeks in total and we really felt like at home.
First of all, the work we did was nice, we were mainly doing gardening stuff like weeding, harvesting, watering etc. and also some other work like lawn maintenance.
We also always received very cool recommendations and they

Overall it was an amazing experience and we'd recommend to stay with them 100% :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Michelle is OVER THE TOP ! She is an amazing host and person. The type of person that you feel so lucky to meet on your life. She is kind, caring and fun. I had such a beautiful week with her, I felt so spoiled, she took me visiting places, neighbors, friends, and cooked me delicious meals! I got to visit the neighborhood while walking the cute
… read more dog Emma and enjoyed a lot visiting the beautiful city of Victoria. The house is gorgeous, Michelle has a lot of taste and the private suite is worth the prettiest B&B. I had the chance to meet her husband (which was not planned as she usually host people when he works abroad) he was very welcoming and nice as well.
I really hope I can stay in touch with my new friend Michelle 😊Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

We’ve had the pleasure of having Cecelia in our home for the past week. She is a wonderful person to spend time with. We enjoyed many deep conversations as we worked side by side on my garden projects. One of the things I love about the workaway experience is connecting with people and hearing about where their life has taken them. Cecelia is no

She was willing to help in any job I had planned and worked with great enthusiasm. She helped in the meal prep and clean up always. I can fully recommend Cecelia and you will be changed after meeting this beautiful woman!

From the moment I met Apolline I knew we were going to become friends very quickly. However I didn’t expect her to leave such a lasting impression on my heart. She is so sweet, kind, and carries a wisdom far beyond her years. We shared many wonderful conversations while we worked on my garden and outdoor projects. She was always eager to help me

While I could say so many good things about how hard she helped me, it was the friendship we developed that I’ll miss. Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. That is how I describe my new friend, Apolline!

Michelle is an incredible person. She is the kindest and most generous person ever. My two weeks with her flew by too quickly. Always smiling and in good spirits, from the beginning, she welcomed me into her home as if we were longtime friends.
In the mornings, we worked together to help her progress with the numerous beautiful projects she has

I will never forget and am grateful for our walks, our conversations, our moments in the kitchen, our movie nights,… (and Easter hunt!)
A thousand thanks, Michelle, for your warm welcome, your sparkling energy, and your generosity. I couldn't have asked for a better two weeks of workaway. I look forward to seeing you again; I already miss you.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Pauline)
We had the pleasure of having Pauline join our family for 3 weeks. There are so many positive qualities I could share about her but I’ll highlight the ones I most appreciated. She is such a hard and diligent worker. We had a fairly large job of digging an irrigation system. She worked so hard on this with never a complaint. She’s punctual, helps

Vom Workawayer (Pauline) für Host
It's hard to write about the wonderful experience I had with Michelle. She's a wonderful woman who deserves to be met.
I immediately felt at home. I also had the opportunity to meet her family, who were very kind to me.
Michelle takes care of you like a member of her family. She's keen to help you discover Vancouver Island, so she organizes
… read more outings for you on a regular basis. I loved the discussions we had together, it was a very rich sharing of life and experience.
As far as work is concerned, Michelle is very flexible about hours. I mainly trimmed the trees and shrubs, harvested the vegetables and installed the irrigation system with the help of Michelle and her neighbors.
When you're in the garden, expect to play with Emma, the adorable golden retriever who is so endearing. The other dog, Jesse, is also adorable.
I enjoyed Michelle's delicious meals. She adapts perfectly to your diet.
I loved our movie nights and board games. Michelle even invited me to the movies!
In short, the three weeks I spent with Michelle were wonderful and will remain engraved in my memory. I hope to see you again in France or elsewhere. Thank you for everything! I will miss you so much!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I just spent two weeks at Michelle's home and I can't say how much I appreciate how great she's been to me. She welcomed me into her home and her family, and we had many fun adventures together around the island! She took care of me and was excited to help me discover Vancouver Island which I loved. I also loved taking care of her beautiful garden

I will for sure miss playing ball with Emma. I hope we can meet again someday, take care!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Alicia)
We just said goodbye to Alicia. She spent 2 weeks with us and she fit in perfectly with our family. Our goodbye was a tearful one as she felt like family immediately. Alicia is a hard worker and worked well even by herself with minimal direction. She helped with dinner clean up without being asked was such a pleasure to have her staying in our
