Description
Hello everyone,
I'm 19 years old and my hometown is Dresden in Germany. This year I've passed my final secondary school examinations and decided to go to Canada for work and travel, meeting new people and improve my English skills.
I love animals and at home I spend a lot of time at a horsefarm, for helping and riding.
In Canada I already spend time at a horse and a goatfarm and did weeding, gardening, feeding the animals, harvesting vegetables, helping with a kidscamp, cleaning and a bit of cooking and baking.
I enjoy meeting new people, learning new things and taking care of animals.

This special young woman was a life saver to me. She came during harvest and just stepped in to help out in a big way. She is flexible, hard working and has such a helpful attitude. I really enjoyed her presence and enjoyed sharing time with her. She is always welcome back anytime.

Christine and Lawrence are very openminded and welcoming people, they did their best to enable me a nice stay at their farm. The landscape is beautiful and the animals need and apreciate attention. Nevertheless there are a few things you should know before you go there. I stayed in the basement for one week and a half and there was no window in my… read more

Sadly I could only stay for one and a half week with Janice and Darryl but it was one of the best experiences in Canada. The family is extremely openmined and generous. We did a lot of mucking out barns and cleaning old hay bale-leftovers, which was hard work, but in exchange we also got a lot of fun things to do and explore! I enjoyed my stay a… read more

She was extremely hard working and strong, and able to take on heavy work, like cleaning manure out of goat sheds and cleaning up old hay piles. She pushed on to finish the jobs, even when I was ready to quit! I was also able to use… read more

I really had a nice time with super cute animals, friendly people and very delicious cheese!!
The accomondation is really cool, just a bit hot in the summer but you always have the oppurtunity to spend time in the house! The day is very structured and organised, which I really enjoyed. For me it was sometimes hard to understand the french… read more

Now I finally take time to leave a feedback..
The farmstay at Sue and Bodo's place was my first workaway experience. I stayed for 5 weeks in July/beginning of August and it was such a great experience!
Sue and Bodo are very openminded and welcoming people and it was the greatest pleasure to meet their daughter Lauren and her children :)

Alina was very versatile, helping us at our summer camp for a week and also with our visitors, gardening and looking after the animals. She is very responsible and can be left to do a job properly with little instruction. Alina is reliable and thorough in her work. She was a great help with the horses. She is very capable and easy to live with.
