Description
Hi! I’m Amir, a mechanical designer who recently started working as a carpenter’s helper — a skill I’ve been developing through hands-on Workaway and renovation experiences across British Columbia.
I moved to Canada in 2018 and began traveling a couple of years ago to explore new places, learn practical skills, and live closer to nature. I love physical work, especially when it involves building, fixing, or creating something useful. I’m reliable, respectful, and easygoing, and I enjoy learning from people with different skills and backgrounds.

Life, for me, is about meaningful experiences — learning, connecting, and helping wherever I can.

Sorry, Ximena, for the late feedback. I stayed for one month in September at Ximena's house and enjoyed spending time with the friendly and fun roommates. I felt very comfortable there. Ximena was always grateful for the work I did and was such a kind lady—talking with her was a pleasure. Brentwood is a beautiful place with amazing hiking trails… read more

Melissa is a great, kind, and friendly person who made me feel comfortable and welcome from the very beginning at her place. She was always grateful for the work we did and made sure not to give us too many tasks, so we had time to enjoy our free time. The tasks were pretty easy and straightforward, which made everything even better.

Her home is… read more

Amir and Victor were an absolute delight to have in the mix! We loved the positive energy they brought to everything they did, especially when it involved our children. I was particularly moved by how they rose early to walk my youngest down to the school bus - just because it made him immensely happy to have them around. We feel lucky to have… read more

I cannot fully express my feelings about this lovely family. Our journey started amazingly with a stunning hike through the Rossland mountains, where we enjoyed walking through the snow. At the end of the trip, we were mesmerized by the sea of clouds beneath our feet. Afterward, we were warmly welcomed with a nice family dinner and played games… read more

This is a place that grabs your attention from the first moment—the nature is amazing, with a clear lake, huge mountains, and so much beauty all around. Peter, the host, is a peaceful, relaxed, and kind man. I learned a lot from him. We worked on building an Earthship cabin that he wanted to make as eco-friendly as possible, which I really… read more

Amir was a pleasure to have stayed with us. He is confident, charismatic, and a good worker. Amir was always willing to help on whatever the project was. He took guidance well and worked autonomously. Although new to many things we were doing here he was always ready to jump in and start helping in whatever way he could.

I stayed for 2 weeks at the farm, a beautiful place with a lovely family that makes you feel at home from the start. Kim and Tony are kind and friendly, and you can learn a lot from them. Tony is very skilled and innovative, giving you tasks based on your interests and patiently teaching you what you need to know. I stayed in a cozy RV with all… read more

This farm is one of the best places to enjoy living in beautiful nature with a group of people. Mike and Anja are the loveliest and hardest-working couple I've ever met. I had zero experience in organic farming, but Mike is always passionate about answering questions, even when he's busy. He's generous and loves helping people and sharing his… read more

Sorry for the late review, Cindy. Staying on your lovely farm was my first Workaway experience, and it was amazing. Lasqueti Island, the only off-grid island in Canada, is unique. Cindy's farm is one of the best on the island, with stunning views and cozy cabins that let you experience real jungle life.

The work was easy and enjoyable, including… read more
