There are activities in the local area (line dancing or yoga) where the workawayer can take participate.

Accommodation
I'm currently staying in a small cottage in a rural area. It is approximately 20 km to the closest city. The Workawayer will have a bedroom and shared bath during their stay. Regarding food, I love to cook and everyone will be well looked after. Workawayers can prepare their own food if they prefer.
What else ...
For a change of scenery, there is a large athletic complex close by in Summerside, where there is a huge indoor swimming pool, sauna and hot tub. Also, there is skating and cross-country skiing.

Chris is a really nice person and it was great to host him in April 2025. Chris comes with Cleo (a cat) that made the situation a bit complicated and he has his own working hours, which I found different, but we managed to sort it. Chris knows a lot about landscaping and flower beds and made a great job of repairing my perennial beds after winter.… read more

Being invited to stay with Jean was by far the best experience on Workaway I've had. She made sure that everything was just right and provided a comfortable room, very good food and plenty of trips out to see the local sights and to visit shopping malls when needed. One of the many highlights was enjoying a fabulous Easter family meal together… read more

Roxanne is an amazing woman! She did an excellent job at everything she undertook and completed.
