Description

Hi everyone,

we are Marvin and Lorena, original from Germany but love to travel and discover countries, cultures and different ways of living. Both of us are easy going, flexible and have many years of work experience in different areas. We are very open to different work and stay options. Living a healthy, sporty and vegan lifestyle - but we have a very basic and plain diet (fruits, vegetables, beans, oats...), nothing fancy necessary ;)

Both of us fall in love with Canada and we met in Vancouver in 2022. After traveling Latin America and Europe together and lived in Berlin for a while, we will be back in Canada at the end of September this year. We both work as digital nomads a few hours on weekdays (6am-10am PDT).

Currently we are looking for several workaways:

Oktober 2025: 3-4 weeks in Vancouver or Victoria area
01. November - 26. November: Okanagan Valley
Summer 2026: around 2-3 month on a horse ranch, focused on natural horsemanship / liberty work

Dates and locations are flexible for the right fit.

We are open for longer stays over the winter month (e.g. house, ranch or pet sits) as well or for paid positions. Let's get in touch!

We both have a valid work permit for Canada.

Looking forward to meet you :)
