Description
So far, we've had some amazing experiences thanks to Workaway. Whilst staying all over Canada in 2022, we helped hosts with gardening, furniture restoration, animal care, cleaning, DIY and general housework, as well as volunteering at a day program providing support for people with dementia and brain injury.

A bit more about us:

Lucy- I love being out in nature, hiking, running, camping, writing and reading. I'm not scared of a challenge and love having as many new and different experiences as possible. I find a lot of joy in helping others, having worked primarily in social care supporting domestic violence victims. I also have experience working as a summer camp counsellor; providing full-time childcare and coming up with creative activity ideas.

Will- I enjoy all sorts of DIY tasks, fixing and repairing. From sewing to furniture restoration to gardening, I am not afraid to muck in or try new things. I am easy-going and love talking to new people and sharing knowledge.

More details about your skills
Will- In terms of DIY and maintenance, I am skilled in sewing, carpentry, fixing/repairing, up-cycling and basic electronics. I am also sporty, and particularly enjoy skiing, climbing and golf.

Lucy- I have lots of experience in people-centred roles, with both children and adults. My role as a camp counsellor demonstrates my ability to provide full-time childcare, as well as being creative and entertaining. In my current role as a support worker, I provide practical and emotional support to vulnerable adults, and am an advocate for mental health and trauma awareness.

We are both skilled at cooking, including catering to vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets. We also have skills in cleaning, gardening, computer literacy and problem-solving. We are both musical, and enjoying singing and playing instruments.

Joe is probably the best connected man in Khanom. Not only is he super friendly and easy to speak to but he holds nothing back when it comes to submerging you in the local culture, bars and community. I feel super blessed to have met Joe and consider him a good friend. I initially was staying for 2 weeks but extended for 3 as I enjoyed may time… read more

Lucy was adorable. She slotted in so quickly and easily and was more than willing to do whatever was required. She is just one of those really easy going humans who seems to know intuitively what to do. Delightfully reserved and respectful, but willing to engage whenever the opportunity arose.

She got on really well with our grandchildren and… read more

Absolutely loved staying with Anne and Bob for 10 days! They were super welcoming and made me feel very relaxed and at home, even inviting me along to spend time with their daughter’s family on a couple of occasions. They are located in one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I’ve ever visited - the sunset swims in the river were… read more

Julie and Yvon really made us a part of the family. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time staying with them and helping look after the chickens, work in the garden and assisting in the workshop. Their daughter and grandson also came over from time to time and they were lovely too. It was a big house with many rooms for lots of people to stay at once… read more

We had a great experience at Roger's, helping out around the farm whilst learning about Quebec culture and Acadian history.
The work was varied and included preparing meals, clearing beaver dams, building a bridge over a creek, starting the tipi's structural work, and cutting firewood. We also had a great time getting involved with the local… read more

We had a great experience with Suhail. When we first enquired about coming to stay with him, he was unavailable for April, but when his plans changed he got back in touch with us and invited us to come and stay for a few weeks which was super thoughtful! The workload was light- cleaning and some other general chores, so we had lots of time to… read more

We had the best time staying with Ramsey, Leslie and Lady. We can't thank them enough for inviting us to stay and making us feel so at home. They are lovely, selfless, down-to-earth people who are easy to get along with.
The work they do for their social club is inspiring, and getting to be a part of it was an unforgettable experience. We loved… read more

What more could you want with this couple, Will and Lucy. They provided us superb piano, singing and guitar playing everyday along with oh so tasty vegan and vegetarian cooking and baking. They were awesome with our dog, taking her for many long walks. Will was Mr.Fix-it par excellence. There didn't seem to be anything that was beyond his skillful… read more

Big thank you to Anita, Trevor, Luca and Nico!! Staying with them was such an amazing experience. With it being our first workaway, we weren’t sure what to expect, but they were so welcoming and made us feel like part of the family.
Anita was very organised and had lots of tasks to keep us busy, but also gave us loads of freedom and useful info to… read more

Yeah, Lucy and Will were wonderful Workawayers. It felt like before Coronavirus, I'm still excited even though they already left to their new hosts.
After some isolation, while waiting for the Covid Test results, they arrived and got accustomed to our way of living very quickly. They immediately bonded with the kids and us adults. On their days… read more
