Creative - I have a good eye for photography and film making. I can help with any digital marketing, online presence or simply taking great photos of your cause.
Technical - I work with bands and musicians as an audio engineer so I am very capable when it comes to day-to-day technological faults.
Independent - In my spare time there's nothing I enjoy more than a solo camping trip or a long day hike, I can keep myself occupied and entertained for days on end with my endless stream of puns and "dad jokes".

Phoebe and Beth were great additions to our team while they were with us! They have great energy - up and at 'em and ready for work or adventures every day. Between them they have a really broad range of skills and are great communicators. Among other things, Beth helped us with our social media channels and Phoebe kept us fed and our gardens in… read more

Our time in Temagami was our favourite Workaway to date! We spent our time working on social media presence, cleaning the guesthouse & helping to set up for the summer season of canoeing. We recommend checking out the fire tower in town as well as taking an infamous canoe out on the lake. If it's a rainy day we recommend grabbing Griffin & Juno… read more

Beth & Phoebe are hard working and lovely. The ideal candidates for any workaway host out there !
We wish we had them longer to really get to know them and share more incredibles experiences with those two but life made it otherwise. Thanks for all the good work you've put in during your stay and good luck for what's next !

This Workaway instantly embraces you into a community of like-minded travelers who enjoy working hard and playing hard. During our time here we got to experience a music festival in Quebec City as well as the beauty that this part of Québec has to offer. The work consisted of maintaining the incredible cabins, keeping common areas clean & making… read more

Beth and Pheobe were wonderful.
They came with such positive attitudes, ready to help and get to know us while still keeping good boundaries and doing their own thing.
They were really great with our kids, who still talk about them.
Such easy-going, fun-loving and profound people, they were a pleasure to host!

It appears as though we’re not unique in this being our first Workaway. Our stay with Andrea, Michael, William and Grace was filled with mornings at their waterfront cafe, days in the garden, evenings at soccer games and nights playing board games (watch out for Pirates Cove, William is always prepared). We were welcomed with baked goods (Andrea,… read more

We loved having Beth and Phoebe. Wow can they work. Often we were quite busy and they only needed a couple of quick instructions and they were off. The seeds in the greenhouse that were planted are sprouting. They did everything with a smile and with so much energy and enthusiasm. It was great seeing them enjoy nature and getting out to kayak and… read more

We loved our stay with Ben, Terry, Sophia & Arianna! The location is beautiful and so is the lodge (add more photos!). We spent our time helping in the gardens, working in the greenhouse & housekeeping in the lodge. We spent the rest of our time kayaking on the lake, wandering the trails & exploring the cabin on-site. We have great conversations… read more
