Description
Hello to my potential future host.

I am an 18 year old girl from Germany who is looking forward to spend a year working and travelling all over Canada before I start university at the end of 2025!

My family and I love to explore different countries & cultures and have travelled quite a bit. We have visited Canada twice (spending about 6 weeks each in the west and east). I have absolutely fallen in love with this country, mainly because of its wildlife and diverse nature, and especially because of the friendliness and openness of the Canadians.

After graduating from high school this summer, I am now eager to spend a year abroad learning and trying new things.

I consider myself to be an outgoing person who enjoys the company of others. In general, I am a calm and relaxed person who is easily fascinated by different things. I am well organised and reliable and can work both on my own and with others.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Annika was our first Workawayer, and having her around was such a bonus! She helped out so much around the house while we were away, which gave Rob and me more time to relax. We also loved chatting with her and hearing about the differences between life in Germany and Canada.

She jumped right in with chores like folding laundry, cooking, and meal… read more

I spent about three weeks with the wonderful family of Kristin, Rob, and their children, and had a fantastic time. We did so many fun things together, like watching salmon being released from a hatchery into the wild, playing golf, going for walks with Ruby, and enjoying some exciting games of “Unstable Unicorns.” The warm and welcoming… read more

I spent a week with Kate and instantly fell in love with the island and Sointula as soon as I arrived. I was able to watch orcas and sea lions right from the window, which was truly magical. We visited Bere Point and enjoyed a beautiful drive out to Mitchell Bay and Kaleva. We also had a lot of fun preparing for our big garage sale together. My… read more

I had a wonderful time at your place and I wanted to thank you for the amazing experiences. I tried some things for the first time, like snowmobiling and having campfires in the woods, and I really enjoyed them. It was a memorable and fun-filled stay that I will always cherish. Thank you for making it such a special and unforgettable trip.

Annika arrived and jumped into family and farm life; always ready to take on a job, help with whatever needed doing or to sit and spend time with the family. She is accepting and kind with a positive attitude, she is always welcome to return,

The memories of our time together bring me great joy as I thoroughly enjoyed my stay as everyone was incredibly kind and it turned out to be much more personal than I had expected. Gwenn and her daughters went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, which really warmed my heart. I even miss our nightly ice cream before bed. I also miss Edgar and… read more
