Wauw! What an amazing time I got to spend at Malea, Kyle and the absolute cutest Bo! This was my first WorkAway experience ever and I couldn't have wish for more. I helped with the last details on getting their Sooke house ready for selling, weeding the backyard and looking out for Bo. On my days off Malea, Bo and I (Kyle was on an adventure with
… read more some friends) went on a little camping trip to Parksville. We had a fantastic time and I really enjoyed talking with Malea, we talked about the smallest things and the biggest and I feel like I learned a lot from her.
I also joined them for a day out on Lake Cowichan with Malea's parents which was so much fun! I even got to try tubing for the first time.
I truly feel like I became a part of the family at Malea's and Kyle's.
I had so much fun with Bo too! She is the cutest, funniest, most lovely little human being! I will miss her and her wonderful toddler take on the world :D
I'm already looking forward to visit Malea, Kyle and Bo again! Hopefully we can go on some more adventures together.
Lots of love

Kyle, Malea and Bo are some awesome people. All of them have a friendly, happy and positive attitude, which we really enjoyed.
We stayed two weeks at Kyles and Maleas house and helped Kyle with getting his other house ready for sale. Malea took us to some fun adventures with her and Bo, and showed us the part of the island. Kyle brought us

Thanks for the great stay! We will miss you and if we ever coming back on the island we will visit you again.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

One of the best workaway experiences I've ever had! Kyle and Malea made me feel home immidiately. Kyle is such a great person to work with, I had so much fun during work, but also after work. Kyle is definetely one of the funniest people I've met😂. It never got boring. The one I will miss the most is definetely their little daughter Bo, I enjoyed

Thank you so much for showing me around this part of the island, helping me to improve my englishskills and letting me be part of your family for these two and a half weeks! Oh and Malea is a reaaally good cook.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

This is an overly due testimonial to one of the most amazing fellow that I met during my time on the island.
Kyle is such a low-key (but full of energy!) and down-to earth man to live with! It was an absolute pleasure to know about is passion for the outdoor world and great commitment to our society. Having been a member of the Canadian Force

I an glad my contribution was of a great benefit for him.
I wish Kyle and his partner the best of what life can offer.

Eric was an absolute superstar! Not only did he do all the things that I needed done around the house, but he went above and beyond and surprise me with many very thoughtful tasks but I needed done but didn't even know. Above that, he also took the time to teach some yoga, some great life lessons, and how to just enjoy life for what it is! If you

Rob and Alice were beyond fantastic. Their communication was great and I was MORE than excited to host them after they'd sent me a message. Not only were they great to work with helping me on my home, they were also just all around fantastic, fun, and great people to know. We chatted lots, joked around, became fast friends, and then unfortunately

We had a great short stay with Kyle and his partner, they were very hospitable even with our very last minute plans and arrival. We had a lovely double room that was very comfortable and enjoyed getting to know them. Kyle is full of energy and was always inviting us to social things. He even got his buddies to check out our car problem. The work

Thanks again Kyle! Hope to see you again when we return to Victoria - and maybe we'll psyc ourselves up enough to come sky diving with you!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
