Description
Hello we are a retired Canadian couple who enjoy warm climates and travelling. Chuck (Charlie) is a jack of all trades, with skills in plumbing, carpentry, landscaping and gardening skills. I am a retired youth and family worker, educator, cook and a foodie. We have had successful experiences with Workaway during/following Covid on St. Croix, a plantation eco resort renovation and the island of Nevis, at the Botanical Gardens. Last year we spent Christmas on the island of Grenada on a restoration project and then to a luxury yoga retreat in the Dominican Republic until February 2024. Maintenance and handyman projects are great for Chuck since he is a plumber and gas fitter. I can help in many areas including kitchen, cooking and gardening. Now in 2025 we looking to do a few more work away experiences in easy-going, friendly environments. We are hardworking, friendly and travel with a small dog, who is also fun and friendly. We are eager to start planning for February 2025 in Yucatan, Mexico and helping you wherever we can. Jo and Chuck.
