Description

Hi I'm Vy, 29 and from Australia. currently in Canada and exploring this beautiful country for the next two years.
I'm hoping through; meeting locals, seeing their daily life and helping/working towards people's goals, I'd be able to experience Canada in a deeply insightful and enriching way.
I love being outdoors and exploring new terrains brings me joy.

I am a professional Chef by trade for 7 years so I am happy to help with all things culinary. Mediterranean is my main style of cooking and eating however comfortable in many different cuisines.

List of other practical skills and abilities are:

- Painting (interior, exterior)
- Fire wood - splitting/chopping
- Tidying/organising cluttered areas (if you have a clear goal of what you need done, I can get you there!)
- Gardening, clearing and shoveling snow
- A pretty darn good second pair of hands for any task

Self motivated and can work in teams or unsupervised.
Hope to get connected and see where I can help you on your journey and in turn, mine!

How can I find the words to describe such a godsend person. Vy was our first Workaway guess and she set the bar very high. As a single mother, welcoming strangers in our safety space was a new thing for us. Vy was always very easy to get along with, to talk to. She explained to me the details around welcoming Workaway ers. She thought so many … read more

I had the pleasure of staying for 3 weeks at Sophie's beautiful home. Firstly, Val David is a charming little village and you definitely get a community feeling when you're there.
At the home, I got to look after 2 incredible youngsters. Billie and Charles were fun, creative and full of life! I couldn't speak French and the kids were learning … read more

It was such a pleasure to have Vy come and help us at the end of our bed and breakfast season. It was the first time we had a professional chef in our kitchen, and it was a real delight.

Vy is an exceptional chef, extremely creative and talented, as well as calm and collected. It was truly a pleasure to watch her work. She also helped with our … read more

I stayed for 10 days just after coming off of a summer season and was travelling east. I arrived in mid fall and it is absolutely stunning! The property itself is gorgeous, right on the lake where I got to stay in a cozy little bunkie listening to the waves at night. I worked in the kitchen/serving when the B&B was open and did odd jobs outdoors … read more

Stayed at Holly's beautiful home for one week. She didn't end up needing me to cat sit for her as I was only staying for a short time however I thoroughly enjoyed loving up her fur babies while she was at work. I got to help her out setting up her garden bed and other various jobs around the property. So much pleasure was had also when using … read more

Like a few others the only call I had to go to the North was to see the Northern Lights and for only a few days but with a change of mind and a brush of luck in the form of a last minute position, I was accepted to work during the winter season at this amazing resort.
Right from the start you are made to feel right at home by the warm welcome of … read more

I was supposed to stay for 2 weeks but ended up staying 4 and would have stayed longer if I could. From the first day to the last, Joe and Danise showed me incredible kindness, warmth and real Canadian hospitality. There were plenty of jobs to do around the property and Joe often gave me things that he thought I'd enjoy doing so as to not get … read more

Vy came for two weeks and ended up staying for four and are we ever glad she did! Whatever the task we gave her, whether it was digging a ditch or preparing one of her delicious gourmet meals, Vy approached it with enthusiasm. She was a great companion to have around as well for both of us but especially for my wife Danise who was thrilled to have … read more
