Volunteer and help with a rural location in Powell River, North of Vancouver.

it was my fist workaway experience and it was a good pick. Both are very kind and they want you to feel like home. I past good moment with them

We absolutely loved our experience with Dan and Wendy, they are the best hosts. Since the moment we arrived at the house, we felt like home. We enjoyed every delicious dinner, Wendy cooks so good!!, besides she is an amazing woman.
Dan's beer is great, we helped making some and even bottled some wine too. The workload was easy and fun to do. We… read more helped with the garden, stacked some wood and did some painting.
They were always making sure you are comfortable and having a good time.
Wendy even invited us to play (we are musicians) at her friend's birthday party, and we had a blast there.
Their property is surrounded by forest and the beach is very close, so we went there on the bikes every now and then.
We enjoyed every moment and now we miss them. Hope to see them again.

What an amazing and unforgettable stay at Wendy and Dan's!
They are really willing to share, super enthusiastic, I felt home the first minute there.
The house and the yard are very pleasant to live in. Work is interesting and challenging, but nothing like stressing: you build your own schedule with flexibility according to the weather, the work… read more to be done, and extra activities plans.
The area is gorgeous with all the beaches and trail paths, for those who like outdoors.
Food is delicious: Wendy is a chef!
Dan and Wendy even helped me out with my van conversion into a camper with a huge enthusiasm.
I would recommend anyone who wants to workaway to apply at Wendy and Dan's, you would have a great time there!
Can't wait to see you guys another time as friends :)

Wendy and Dan!!

As we wrote in the letter, we had a fabulous time! We consider ourselves so lucky that we spent 3 weeks with you! We loved to work in the morning and loved to do the gardening, helping wherever possible and you really appreciated the work we did. It was so nice to hear a thank you :) we felt like part of the family and we got to… read more know powell river quite well (on the days we explored it ;))
if you ever get the chance to work with wendy and dan - u will have a great time!

I have enjoyed my experience with Wendy and Dan very much! They are both doers and it is an inspiration to work with them and learn from their pretty much off the grid lifestyle! They are very open and took me onto a friend's house and amazing walk! I especially liked that the fact that they let you work in your own way and also that the food was… read more fresh and healthy, gluten-free and really cared about! I am very thankful to them for this amazing week and I wish that they will have a wonderful adventurous trip in Europe :) I am sorry, I am not done yet- I have to come back at least one day to learn how to make soap ;)

I had an awesome time with Wendy and her granddaughter teila. They made me feel like home since the first day I've been there and it was one of my best decisions I made with Workaway.info. We had nice hikes, went clam digging, had an wonderful thanks giving with friends and the loving family. I would come back anytime. Thanks so much for all… read more those nice experiences and the nice two weeks I could stay at this nice place :)

Wendy and Don are fantastic hosts! They totally understand the workaway concept. They offer you at least as much as you can offer them. They make you feel very welcome and show you their lifes. They got always something to do in or around the house and you'll love the sunshine coast.

I would recommend everybody to visit them and want to thank… read more them for the great week I had late september 2014.

What an amazing three weeks we spent with Wendy and Dan!!! They really encapsulate the spirit of workaway, we had the best cultural experience ever with two of the kindest, most generous, funniest, open hearted people you could hope to meet. We were instantly included as one of the family and were introduced to so many of their awesome friends and… read more family and the community of Powell River, which is so welcoming. The work was fun, varied and we learnt new skills! We left feeling inspired, spoilt, and knowing we'd made a true connection with a place and its awesome people. Also wanting to move to Powtown!!! Thank you Wendy, Dan, and everyone who made us feel so at home. See you soon! xxx

We spent almost 20 wonderful days at Wendy’s. It is a magic place where only the kind of special people who Wendy and Dan are, can be living.
They definitely have the real work-away spirit: won’t considerer you just because of your work, but also because of all the vital experience, cultural differences, etc. that we are supposed to share on the… read more program.
They will ask you for few hours of working in the maintenance of the nice property you can see in the pictures and you will be able to learn a lot of things from these guys, which also should be a part of the program: how to prepare smoked salmon, some carpentry, some of Wendy’s delightful recipes (we still miss them)…
After work: they are very proud of their community and will try to make you to know and enjoy it. And Powell River is totally worth to exploring!

We hope Wendy and Dan keep having a great experience on the program, because they are the kind of people that make it works. And we wish to have the chance to host them if they finally dare to become “workawayers” someday.

Wendy review workaway

I spend three gorgeous weeks at wendy's place ... Ouaouuuu, what a good experience!!! She ( and Dan) are the most nice, generous, open minded, funny (I just can't write them all because the list is waaaay too long) persons you can met, they are going to make you feel like home. Wendy introduced me to her family and… read more friends, we went out for a wk trip, did many hikes, diners, concert, she even gave me some driving lessons ... and just a bit of work in her lovely property. They are more interested in the cultural exchange than the work itself , so you can choose what to do and when... It's very relax :) their house is just beautiful, a dome in a peaceful property, whith a big pond, an awsome garden and a green house.
The room is nice and cosy and has an independent door so you can go in/out easily. A beach is really near, you can go by bike, perfect for the summer :)
She has two bikes, a quad and you can use a car to go visit arround :)
And cherry on the pie, Wendy is a greaaat cook, they eat organic products and healthy food, and if you have a "special diet" they just adapt their food for you..
Sooo .... nice people(the best part) + lovely place + good food + fun activities = the perfect workaway experience !!!
I had such a great time, that I went visit them before going to the interior and I will come back during the summer.
You're lucky if they choose you to stay with them !

Thanks a lot you two :)
