J'ai passé 10 jours chez lui à Ottawa, et c'était une de mes expériences les plus incroyables et mémorables. Sa maison ressemble à une galerie d'art, c'est juste magnifique ! Lui-même est une personne adorable, gentille et d'une patience incroyable, surtout avec moi pendant que j'apprenais et pratiquais mon français.

Claude is a very kind person, always caring and welcoming. He was my first host as a volunteer, and I am very grateful it was at his home. He taught and supported me a lot in this country.
I hope to visit him again soon!

Claude was an amazing host!!
I stayed here for about a month and a half, but it felt incredibly short because it was so comfortable.
There are too many things he did for me to even write them all down! He took me to downtown Ottawa and Gatineau Park, helped plan my trips, and provided rides every time. I’m truly grateful for all of it. I also… read more

I stayed at Claude's for 9 days, as my first workaway destination. Claude is a respectful person and does his best to create a comfortable environment for his guests. He is easy to talk to and since he is a retired high school teacher, you can ask him any questions about this job and he answers them all patiently, based on his experience.
