Description

Hello everyone, we are Denis and Francesca, both retired from general carpentry and government respectively. Life experiences, raising our families, my natural abilities and Francesca's recent Yoga teacher certification, make us both a great fit for hosts looking for help. Our first workaway in 2025 we travelled to the Algarves Portugal for a month, then in Nova Scotia for a week and myself as a solo workawayer to Cacouna Quebec. We are both looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends while travelling the world. While enjoying life in our early 60s, staying healthy and growing our social circle makes workaway a great addition to our lifestyle
Looking forward to meet new people and revisiting with our new friends !!

Generous with his time, he brought a wonderful mix of competence and enthusiasm to every task. It’s clear he’s eager to put everyday responsibilities aside for now and work his way around the … read more

I ended up visiting Mona in Cacouna so randomly as I spontaneously decided to reach out to her to do a workaway solo and last minute. I was so fortunate to spend 4 days of complete serenity.
