I stayed with Chantal and her family for 2 and a half weeks and had a great time. I had different tasks during that time and could work on my own pace. She took me to Halloween walks, a fall market and a hockey game. I would definitely recommend staying with her, she makes sure you feel welcome and that you have a great time. The two dogs are also

In enjoyed my stay very much! C. made a great effort both to make me feel at home and teach me about her life in rural Canada. I participated in family life, house chores, learned to make bread and sewing... I certainly hope to come back! :-)

Amelie stayed with us for one week this September. We loved having her and wish she could have stayed longer.

I worked for Chantal for 1 week. It was my first Workaway experience and it was amazing!
I had to work in the garden and prepare everything for the fall. It was easy work and I could divide my day individually.
They even took me on their boat and tried to show me as much as possible on the weekend. I'll always remember this beautiful trip.

I had such an amazing experience at Chantal's place! Corey and Chantal gave me the real Canadian experience during the two weeks I was with them, welcoming me into their family. During the day I worked in the garden and around the house, doing tasks like preparing the vegetable garden and flower beds and cleaning up. I worked on this by myself,

We had dinner together every day and in the weekends I came along to their trips, such as going to the 1000 islands by boat and the COOLEST experience going mud racing in North Agusta.
We got along very well and I am very grateful for my time with Chantal, Corey, Alex, Matthew, the dogs, horses and cat. I'd definitely recommend spending some time with them during your travels!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Nicole stayed with us for two weeks and she helped us with our gardening projects and we also worked on sewing. Nicole picked up sewing very quick and she was able to make her own makeup bag.

I was with Chantal for two weeks.
I was very warmly welcomed and had a fantastic time.

The tasks were not difficult and I had enough time to explore the area in nice weather. On rainy days I got to help Chantal with

I spend almost 2 weeks at Chantals home and I had a really fun and relaxing time. The work was really not that much or exhausting and I had a lot of time to walk or bike to the lakes near by. Also Chantal and Corey are such fun, easy going and welcoming people. They also took me on a 3 days Boattrip what I really enjoyed. Thank you so much :)

Ikuko was a pleasure to host. She’s a very sweet girl and works very hard without having to be asked, she sees what’s needed and goes ahead and completes the jobs. She was with us for 5 weeks during the summer which was perfect to bring her with us on our Yacht and show her the Thousand Islands. Any future hosts will be lucky to have her !

I had a really great time there with fun family. Chantal is always supportive helpful and my work was not so difficult, in my case almost cleaning!
I stayed there over a month in the best season for boating June and July. They showed me such beautiful islands in Lake Ontario every weekend, and also I met a lot of nice boat people. They are

We stayed in Moscow House for two weeks and we enjoyed it very much. We experienced so many Canadian things such as mudding (driving squads in the mud) and eating an air fried turkey and poutine! Chantals boyfriend and the rest of the family were so kind to us, we felt very comfortable right away. We even got to go to a big hockey game in Ottawa
