Description
Hello there!
We live in Southern Brazil, close to Florianopolis, SC. I graduated in management and work with real estate and agriculture. Janice graduated in biology and works with developing training programs in the food industry. We both are JCI members, an international young organization.
I lived 5 months in USA some years ago, worked on various activities at a casino hotel. In 2017 I started doing Workaway in Chile and after that we had wonderful experiences in Canada, UK and USA so far.
We're used to home and farm tasks. Love to travel, camping, nature and animals (we have horse, dogs and a cat).
To know new people and friends, practice languages and learn skills is what we look for as workawayers!
We'll be happy for a new chat =)

Marlise and Kurt were amazing hosts and have wonderful life stories. We loved hearing about Swiss culture, where they lived and worked. It's a shame we only stayed with them for nine days of our trip. The attention and hospitality we received were remarkable.

Luis and fiance were Excellent Workawayers! They were eager to help, very polite, clean, and like the best Workawayers, they looked for what needed to be done. Many times we have one particular project in mind, and in this case it was painting a barn that has been beaten by the sun. It took several days of scraping and sanding, and they both did… read more

We will definitely miss Clif and his home. From the beginning, we were warmly welcomed, and he was always concerned about making us feel at ease, comfortable, and enjoying our free time. With his joy and sense of humor, he was great company. The house had other friends of his, and we were surrounded by loved ones, as well as the adorable pets… read more

I had 22 wonderful days at Sandy's house in August. As she said, we spent almost 4 years in contact to finally meet and do Workaway. I had great expectations, but they were all exceeded. In relation to everything: the house, the place, but especially the family. Sandy and David are among the most fantastic people I've ever met. They are kind,… read more

Luis was "worth the wait." We could easily leave our feedback with just those words, but there is so much more to say. We started communication with Luis almost 4 years ago with plans to have him join us for a Workaway experience. Then Covid happened and our plans were postponed. During the Covid years, Luis maintained communication with us, so by… read more

Luis came to us as a last minute guest when a host cancelled his visit. Luis was respectful and a huge help with our projects. He fitted perfectly into our family life and although he was only with us for one week we have become firm friends. We enjoyed hearing about Luis' life in Brazil and seeing pictures of his home, family and girlfriend. We… read more

Sharon and Kevin have the essence of Workaway. I found them on a last minute option and I felt lucky managing to spend 9 days on their wonderful house. They have so much knowledge of lots of things, I've never gotten tired of all our interesting conversations. It was great to meet you Isabel, Pip, Sharon and Kevin. Thank you for your hospitality… read more

It was great having Luis on the ranch with us. We worked on a number of projects during his short stay with us. We did have another couple with us at the same time and he was able to quickly create a team setting. After work, he was always willing to help around the house and share stories from home. Wish all the best in your travels Luis and hope… read more

My 2 weeks in the cabins were amazing. Harry and Rachel are the best. I had chance to join a tour bus and see the wonderful lakes and sites of Rocky Mountains, as well as explore nice places in the area. They always have some volunteers and you can meet nice friends from several countries. It's fantastic what interesting conversations you can have… read more

Luis is very engaged and curious. Lots of conversation. Our time was short but his assistance allowed Ross to get some important work done. Luis helped pour concrete for a new pad to go under a diesel tank. Enjoy your summer in Canada!!

What a wonderful experience I had on the last 3 weeks at Diane and Lloyd's house. They're always laughing and in a good mood. The house and the room are really cozy, lots of comfort. Working most of the time on the yard I could learn a lot about gardens and other things. They took me for some walks and the region has always lots of interesting… read more

Realmente nos sentimos parte de su família. Nos llevaron a muy bellos paseos juntos o simplemente dando nos paseo. Amamos la comida chilena, especialmente de la casa de Caro. Trabajar con… read more
