Description
Hello, we are Jason and Melanie, a 26 year old couple, we' ve been together for 9 years from Barrie, Ontario, Canada. We are so grateful for the Workaway program that has lead us to so many amazing opportunities. We continue to travel using Workaway and have exchanged in Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico and Nicaragua.
We consider ourselves to be hardworking, dependable, respectful and very friendly! We enjoy quiet time to relax and embrace good company as much as we love experiencing a new adventure. We love the outdoors and are passionate about living in sustainable ways. We are keen on learning new things and we aren't afraid to hold back.
Through Workaway we have found a passion in giving back. To take time out of this busy world, to just genuinely give ourselves to someone or something else is amazing. To exchange our time for someone's time makes us truly appreciate how valuable time and space is. All of our exchange experiences have been truly life changing, which is why we are so excited to continue travelling and exchange across the world!
We are looking forward to exchanging energy, and embracing culture with you!

Ok I’m going to try to explain a little bit of our experience with this two super nice people.
Mel and Jay stayed 3 weeks with us helping with all kinds of missions really.
From the very beginning we loved them. They were so respectful, friendly and easy to communicate.
Along with landscaping and general labour they were sharp on any tasks we… read more

We stayed in Santa Teresa with Tule and Uky for 3 weeks. They are lovely hosts, very approachable, easy going and laid back. Tule showed us the best rock pools at low tide and shared a surf session with Jay. Uky kindly brought us to the weekend organic market. When Mel fell ill they were both extremely caring in letting her rest and get… read more

I hardly know where to begin to describe how wonderful it was to host Jason and Melanie. An incredibly sweet couple who are thoughtful, talented, respectful, hardworking, the list goes on.

Jason was involved in many projects with us, including servicing all of our ATVs, helping to build an archery range, fixed broken generators and bobcats and… read more

It was a bittersweet day leaving our Chilko friends. We left the wilderness feeling so grateful for every experience. We saw and did absolutely everything we could have hoped for. The wildlife was spectacular from black bear and grizzly bear viewing, to seeing moose, and watching eagles soar. The activities were always full of adventure as we… read more

Had Melanie & Jason stay with me for 6 weeks as I needed various tasks done around my large house. They are the most lovely, hardworking 25year olds you could ever encounter.
It felt like I had family staying with me except family members don't like doing tasks. I could leave them unsupervised for a day or even overnight knowing that their tasks… read more

We are feeling very thankful and grateful after our stay with Gladys. We immediately felt warmth and happiness from the moment we met her. She is kind hearted with a happy spirit and the most genuine energy. Every day with Gladys, is a really really great day!

Shark Bay wouldn’t be the same without Garth and Scooby! We had a fantastic 2 weeks, he is so easy going and laid back. We had so many firsts with Garth; squid fishing, off road adventures, and outdoor natural hot tubing.
We helped Garth with cleaning his tour vehicle, walking his dog Scooby, painting his laundry room, and little tasks in… read more

Mel and Jason are a lovely couple, a pleasure to host and were a great help.
They helped me with everything and even painted my laundry for me, a job I've been trying to finish for ages.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, hard working and trust worthy couple.

We are leaving the Kehl family with full hearts! Jurg and Georgina are so so kind, and caring. We have learnt so much about their lifestyle; free-dive fishing, beekeeping, their chooks, ducks and goat, and so much more! We are so grateful for the food they served as it was as always full of colourful vegetables and good proteins. Their perfectly… read more

Wow. What a pleasure it was to meet both Mel and Jay, an exceptional young couple from Canada, excuding warmth and kindness and good old fashioned Canadian charm from the moment they arrived :) How positively fortunate we were as a family for their tremendous contribution to our family and our lives for the 2 months they were with us.

It’s hard to believe 2 months ago we were strangers. We’ve had an incredible time with Alex, Flo and Taj - we hardly wanted to leave! Alex and Flo are the most easy going, humble, hard working and kind hearted people.Their arms were wide open as they welcomed us into their home as the most amazing hosts and quickly turned into lifelong friends!… read more

Jason & Melanie were a pleasure to meet. Melanie is just gorgeous. Jason is shy but always actively listening in conversations. We put Jason's mechanic's skills to good use - fixing things that have been waiting for attention for years. Melanie sanded and oiled timber, made our truck 100 kg lighter after cleaning it, and both helped out actively… read more

There is no farm house like Janelle and Greg’s farm house! Their beautiful heritage home and spectacular views constantly took our breath away. They taught us about cattle farming, free range chooks and life as an Aussie farmer! We enjoyed many meals filled with delicious food and good company! We are so glad that we were able to experience what… read more
