Description
Hi there,
I‘m Vincent, 20, and from Germany, I‘m currently in Ontario where I spent the last 6 months Now I‘m traveling to BC where I‘m looking for a host and am ready to take on any challenge and help you with whatever needs doing. I have a strong back and lots of energy and don't mind getting my hands dirty and I work well on my own and/or as part of a team and I am a fast learner. I am always up for trying new things and will always give my best effort.

About me; I‘m a disciplined guy that loves all kind of sports, I also like to get projects done well for the rewarding feeling afterwards. My friends would say I am reliable and have a great sense of humor and that you can always laugh with me. I‘m very adabtable and fit in with all kinds of groups. I also like to learn new things that could help me later in life. I have already learned lots of new skills during my stay in Ontario and look forward to the next part of my Canadian adventure.

More details about your skills
I worked in a warehouse and shipping of work clothes before. I also worked on a construction site and I’m experienced in working with a chain saw. I can do almost everything physically. I‘m also interested into computers, so working with them is not a problem too. I could also cook sum stuff, but I‘m a better eater :).

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

I have been very lucky to connect with Vincent in the fall of 2024 and have been favoured with his enthusiasm, endless good humour and cheerfulness throughout the fall and winter. He is truly a "one of a kind" and will be dearly missed and long remembered.

I stayed at Bobs place for nearly half a year. I mean honestly that says everything. I was there for the whole winter and it was just perfect. We did some things to get the cottages ready for winter, but after the snow arrived the only work is mostly to help to prepare food and shovel snow off of the outside stairs and help with preparing our… read more food. But it is never boring, Bob took me on snowmobile rides and showed me around the lake and the whole area, he knows everything and everyone around. When the ice was thick enough I could even clear it from snow and went skating. I‘m a big icehockey fan so I was really enthusiastic when I found a goal, puck and hockeysticks in the boat house and we had a hockey match with some other visitors. There is a live camera feed showing the lake so my friends and family back home could watch me palying hockey in real time. At Christmas and other times we had visitors staying with us and there was always lots of good home cooked meals. We often enjoyed the sauna and the hot tub too which were new experiences for me.
Bob also took me to his friends and I could meet some really kind and interesting people. It was really nice to listen to all of their stories. When guests are visiting his rental cottage my job was to help him to get it set up and when they leave we would tidy it up to be ready for the next people, but that isn‘t a big deal. And when the snow was gone we cut down a couple of tall red pines and split and stacked the firewood. That was a really nice experience and really fun and I got experience running the chain saw. Bob took the time to make sure I knew how to do that safely. All in all I learned a lot for my whole lifetime at his place from changing motor oil, switching snow tires and repairing small engines, doing some plumbing, putting chains on the tractor wheels, mounting the snow blower on the tractor. I even learned how to bake tea biscuits and helped to prepare meals. We would often watch movies during our meals. Bob even trusted me to look after the place on my own for a couple of days while he went to Toronto for a doctor appointment.
On top of all of this, the atmosphere and the mood is always super fun, if you are an open person you can laugh here all day long, the atmosphere is always easy going and calm and there was never a moment of tension any time during my whole visit. If you need some time for yourself or if you are talking to your family back home he will not interrupt you and will just leave you the time that you need.
What can I say? If you have the opportunity to visit this place just do it.   If I have the chance, I hope to return to this place in the future. I would like to experience all the fun activites that are available here in the summer too.   I know I have made a new friend for life.
Best regards,

Vincent

P.S try to beat my ice bath record of five minutes then I have to come back immediately
