Description
Hi!
I am Elise, currently crossing Canada since early september, with my friend Julian. Hitch-hiking, trains, buses, riding with friends, it's been a big adventure! We crossed the country from Montreal ending in Vancouver. I have to say, the landscapes in BC are my favorites... We had time to appreciate it since we already did two workaways, in Golden, some construction work and in Madeira Park, some gardening, yard maintenance. It was amazing experiences, I felt so lucky to be able to spend time in these beautiful areas, mountain and ocean, to get to work and meet people with so many different backgrounds ! Now is the time where I want to travel on my own.

I volunteered a few times in different places in Canada (4 years ago) and in France, from youth hostels to eco-construction works. What I appreciate the most in volunteering is sharing daily lives with new people, long enough to share ideas, knowledges, emotions and experiences. Being on this journey is helping me to focus on what is important to me, what matters and how would I like to spend my life on earth.

I am feminist, I enjoy talking about it :)

Left by Workawayer (Elise) for host (Help with dock maintenance ...)

We stayed at earls place for one week and a half and can only recommend this place. The house is very spacious and beautifully located right at the waterfront. Working with Earl was a lot of fun and we never got bored thanks to his sociable personality and diversity of jobs. Earl is an amazing host and very considerate, making sure that we felt… read more

We stayed with Elaine for more than two weeks and had an awesome time ! Our accommodation was very cozy and private, we had all we needed and felt independent during our whole stay.

Left by host (Family help in a lovely small ...) for Workawayer (Elise)

Our hard projects included cutting blackberry vines at the root on a hillside, moving wood planks to another location, and demolishing the ceiling in a 20’ trailer!! Lighter tasks included housekeeping, moving household furniture and racking leaves. Elise has a… read more
