I spent two rainy weeks with Liz and Lockie in October working in their home garden and assisting with roofing and pouring a concrete floor in Port Renfrew. They are easy going and full of interests. I had a large bed and a private bathroom on the second floor. I enjoyed the meals of fresh vegetables from their garden and seafood caught by Lockie.

I had a wonderfull time at Liz and Lockies home. I enjoyed the trips to Campbell River, Qualicum beach and Port Renfrew! I prepared the garden for the winter and I learned a lot about gardening, bees, cooking, dogs and their way of life! Liz and Lockie are very flexibel, caring, open and hard working people. I had my own big room and bathroom.

I stayed for 2 months. This was my first workaway and I really enjoyed it. I saw puppies born three times. I hadn't seen the scene before, so I was moved. All of puppies were so cute. Of course that is not only puppies. Adult ones, too. They have thier own personalities. I also hadn't lived with many dogs before. So, I had really good and fun

My stay with Liz and Lockie was excellent. They are so nice and made feel like at home. Even when I got ill and couldn't leave the bed Liz took great care. Also they made sure I saw a lot of the surrounding area and also got involved in family meetings. To sum it up it was the best first workaway experience for me. Thank you both.
