Description

Hi, I am a 24-year-old Irishman who loves sports (MMA and Boxing has been my main sport). I have a basic understanding of most sports as I went to college for it!

I have experience in many different avenues in life. I was once a prison officer. A prep cook and dishwasher. Assistant football coach. I can go on.
Overall my vast experience shows I love to seek out new experiences and challenge myself when and where ever possible.

I love to travel. I like volunteering because it gives you the opportunity to really connect with the place, people and culture and gain new skills!
It shows you what a country is really like, rather than getting a tourist view.

I look forward to meeting you!

My time with Elezabeth, Dave and the family was amazing. I spent the summer helping them with their smoothie business. A few early mornings and a few potential later afternoons. Less of those for me though. The best way to describe it, would be shift work or weekend work depending on the month and what he has available.

The work is super easy, … read more

Christopher was true to his word and commited to helping us from May until mid Sept. ,months before our season began. Of course this can be worrisome receiving a "YES" far in advance as other opportunities can come up for workawayers . Christopher was true to his word and showed up on time early May and stayed until the end. He is friendly, polite … read more

Great experience overall. I stayed a week. Did flooring, fed and watered chickens and turkeys. Picked potatoes and eggs. Watched a film. I worked only with David. I met Kristine right at the end, the night before leaving.

Dates did change a bit, but I am fine with that. I am used to going with the flow. Nice bed, and good people. Averaged 3.5 - … read more

Christopher was at our place for just over 2 weeks. He was very polite and followed instructions well.He helped us with splitting and stacking firewood, it was a large amount and a lot of work! He also helped rototill our garden and add soil and compost. He is very strong and was able to do anything we asked him to.
He also didn't get bored in our … read more

I stayed for an amazing 2 weeks. I mostly did firewood with Joe. I helped Barbara in the Garden once or twice. All great work.

Their property is amazing. You can Hike for hours and days and still not see everything thats around. I boated and fished in their lake and spent a few hours (or minuites depending on weather) by the lake after work. … read more

Left by host (Help with some small house ...) for Workawayer

Christopher stayed with me for 3 weeks. He worked consistently and was helpful. We worked on fencing, picked rocks in a field, dug a few fence posts, did landscaping. He drove the tractor to clear fields and helped at whatever was needed. We also took a load to the municipal landfill. I believe that he put in more than his 25 hours per week.

He … read more

I spent 3 weeks out in summerland with Lance and another workawayer (Amir).
I enjoyed riding his tractor, driving to different destinations with Lance in his car. Experiencing the cows was also entertaining. I got to use a jackhammer for the first time.
There was always plenty of food to eat and he was flexible on taking breaks and when you had … read more

Christopher was here for just over a month and he was a great help. He came just as winter was settling in and stayed long enough to get us over the hump. I really appreciated all of the woody, chopped and all of the nice kindling he made for me. It made the winter go easily.

Christopher is very interesting guy with some interesting stories to … read more

Couldn't recommend Joe and Danise enough. This place is really a hidden gem.

From day one I felt comfortable around both of them. Joe picked me up from the bus, which they had helped me to get. Helping me avoid the costs of inter Canada plane tickets. If you know, you know.

They had really helped me out of a bind as I needed a place urgently, … read more

Christopher came to stay and help at my house for a week. He was a delight to host, and I really enjoyed his company. He was a very friendly guy and was a very nice addition to the household. He was very polite and interactive with my young son. He followed all house rules and cleaned up after himself. Once I showed him what to do, he was able to … read more

I stayed with Amanda and Oliver for a week. There was never any pressure or crazy deadlines on work, as long as you get it done and you gave your 25 hours. She suggested a walk and was happy to point me in the right direction when I couldn't find it. It turned into a Hike rather than a walk but that's another story.

The work was nice. I was able … read more

It was Christopher's first workaway! It was tough job emptying an old water tank of wet sand, levelling earth etc but he went along with it, so I really appreciate that! We had good talks, listen to good music and I really hope he will return in some time when the area we work on is full of plants and bananas! So Chris, have fun in Canada and hope … read more

Stayed for a week with this family. They were amazing. Made me feel like part of the family as soon as I arrived. They regularly speak different languages. They were helpful throughout my stay. Suggesting different things to do nearby. Couldn't recommend enough. Great people. Wishing you all the best with the land and whatever the future holds. … read more
