Description
Dear Host Family,
We are international married couple who is currently workawaying in Canada and obtained open work permit till the end of 2027.
My name is Olga and originally İ am from Ukraine. My husband Murat was born in Turkey and for last 12 years before we came to Canada he used to work in area of hospitality in Food and Beverage in Rixos Premium Hotel in Antalya.
As a married couple we came in Teslin, YT in the beginning of March 2024 and immediately started our workaway project in grocery store and motel where I used to run the till, check in/out guests and my husband because of his limited English stock the shelves and help with housekeeping. We both had 40 hours paid job and our employer provided free accommodation as well.
After 3 months in Teslin we got 1 month break for Williams Lake and worked there as waiter/waitress and housekeeping in a cafe and family run resort.
After 1 month in Williams Lake we returned to Teslin, Yukon and since July we continue our work here and planning to stay with the same host till December 2024.
After December we are searching for any work opportunity in the field of hospitality or farm life. We are very friendly, easy going, flexibility, responsible and hardworking couple. We would like to commit at least for 1 month and looking forward to start new job and adventure as soon as possible.
For me it's going to be my 7th workaway project and for my husband 3d one.
All feedbacks from our previous employers and hosts you can read in our profile as well.
We appreciate your time reading our profile and looking forward to hear from you soon.
Cheers
Olga and Murat

I love sports. I play tennis and swim a lot. I go for jogging and if your family is active in sparts I would be just happy to join you🙂
If you live on a farm or have a summer house I can help with gardening or animals.

Olga was hired into a full-time a paid position working in a busy office for 2 months in the Artic. Olga was friendly, helpful, reliable, an asset to our team. The work environment was fast paced and at times stressful- Olga assisted clients with sensitive documents and large sums of cash. She was always very respectful and trustworthy.
