Jennifer is a super positive person, a great worker and a WONDERFUL cook. Some of her baking is the best we have ever tasted, and she was so generous with her time and experience. Any community would be luck to have her and we wish her the very best and hope she comes back.

I had such a great time at Emine's! She is an amazing woman! I got spoiled with my own room and bathroom, and she cooked delicious meals! I liked the structure of the day. It made things easier to plan. I originally was going to be here for 2 weeks but extended it to 3. Thank you Emine for being a great host and friend!

This was such an awesome experience! I came during harvest season and got to see the entire wine process from picking the grapes to labeling and boxing! Alex was a great host, and the wine was amazing!

Augustin and Sylvie were amazing! I really felt like a part of the family. I learned about the different maple trees and improved my French. We made cannelés together and learned how to make Augustins famous gazpacho! It was so good! Great hosts!!!

Although our time was brief, Jen and Becky came to help get the job done, and to experience all. We enjoyed having their positive vibes, and thank them for all their assistance to our project :)

Sorry this is a couple months late, but this was my first workaway experience and it was awesome! The dogs were adorable, especially the husky puppies. Pushpa was so nice, and loved her cooking. I got to meet a lot of other workawayers and ended up going on a trek with one of them after!
