Description

We are a couple from south east England who came to Canada to do a season snowboarding. Now we're looking to see more of the country throughout spring /summer and are excited about the opportunity to help and meet people along the way.

I (Niamh) love to spend my time baking, cooking and pursuing creative outlets such as sewing and crocheting. Joe would always be outdoors if he could and loves all sports, chess and reading. Foraging is a hobby of ours back home so we're excited to explore the variety of nature that Canada has to offer.

We are new to Workaway and were recommended by friends here in Canada. We spent last summer travelling around South East Asia and thoroughly enjoyed staying in homestays and learning from the hosts we stayed with. For this reason we think Workaway would provide us a great opportunity to experience Canada how locals experience it, make some amazing memories and meet wonderful people along the way.
