Description
Dear Host Family,
We are international married couple who is currently workawaying in Canada and have an open work permit till the end of 2028.
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 worked in grocery store till end of April 2025.
From May 2025 till end of September we both worked in Bistro in Carcross, Yukon. My husband worked as a cook in BOH and me as a waitress in FOH. After Yukon we used to workawayed for 1 month in Hinton, Alberta. Mainly we prepared breakfasts and did general cleaning. Because of the end of the season and because it was 3 more workawayers during our stay in Hinton we worked less than 25 hours a week.
In November 2025 we moved to Australia for vocation and spent there almost 2 unforgettable months💕
Currently we are searching for a host in Canada where we can workaway full or part time job accordingly.
Thanks a lot for your interest in reading our profile and hope to hear from you soon
Cheers
Olga and Murat

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.
