It was wonderful to have Julie with us in late October, early November 2022. She was willing and eager to help with many fall chores with amazing stamina. It was fun to take her along to some art classes and she even painted our mailbox in a fancy design. She was willing to take part in whatever was going on, including visits with friends and

I have had the privilege to spend about two weeks with Marion and Tony and it has been a most precious experience.
They have such jovial energy, are open-minded, and genuinely curious and excited to explore and go on adventures together. They show one around and teach about PEI and their admirable, incredibly engaging, self-sufficient way of

Tony and Marion are both such hard workers, they have great appreciation for each other, their community, the nature surrounding them but also for the unexpected little encounters throughout. You can learn a lot if you are open to it and they are genuinely happy to share their knowledge. Sincerely, thank you for the most marvellous time spent together I will never forget it.

I stayed with Tony and Marion for 1.5 weeks and it’s gotta be one of the most enriching experiences ever! They know loads about gardening / growing vegetables (they grow the juiciest tomatoes!!). Marion is such a good cook (thanks for the good food!) and I will for sure miss the zucchini crepes/fritters we had. It’s a lot more than just exchanging
… read more skills for a bed and food, they include you in their activities so you get to see more of PEI and meet other locals. The tasks were pretty fun to do- harvesting potatoes, staining, helping Marion in the kitchen etc. Great trails are right out the door too, so it’s hard to run out of things to do there. Thanks so much for welcoming into your cozy home, Tony and Marion! Nos vemos! :DYou can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
