Description
I am travelling Canada on a working holiday VISA for 2 years having just finished my degree alongside work. With my new freedom I’m hoping to gain some new experiences, explore new places, and connect with new people.

I am quiet and easygoing person, happiest in nature and I adore animals (especially dogs). I love hiking and have done some kayaking but I am hoping to do some more. I am keen to learn on a job to help out, and have been told I have a keen eye for detail. I look forward to making new friendships as I explore the beautiful country of Canada.

Hoping to gain more experience working with animals as this is a huge passion of mine. I am also interested in learning about organic farming, an interest that I have gained through previous workaways.

Fully vaccinated.

I had a wonderful couple of weeks with Liz that flew by! She is very kind and made me feel so welcome in her home, and she gave me lots of ideas of things to do/try in Montreal. I enjoyed the work and it was very varied- Liz was also nice enough to give me indoor tasks when it was raining!
Liz is a brilliant host and a great person to chat and… read more

Amy left today after a 2.5 week stay and I was sad to see her go. She's such a lovely young woman, full of energy and fun. Amy's also a hard worker and really organized. She did lots of gardening, cleaning and some dog sitting. Goose (the dog) will miss her too. If you have a chance to host Amy, take it! You'll be very pleased. I hope to see her… read more

We were lucky enough to have Amy two weeks with us. Amy did a variety of tasks, including painting, weeding and gardening. She is motivated to work, prepares for the tasks and asks the right questions. We are very satisfied with the work Amy did for us. But more important : Amy is kind and funny person to hang out with and we are very happy we got… read more

I had a wonderful two weeks with Roel and Elisabeth. They were very welcoming, and made sure that I made the most of my time in the area. They were flexible with when I worked, meaning I could use my days off to explore Quebec City and the nearby national parks!
The work was enjoyable and varied, and they gave me some indoor tasks for when the… read more

I was with Heather and Hamish for just two weeks, and I felt right at home. They were very kind, welcoming and great to talk with. From the start they were super flexible which allowed me to make the most of my time. I mostly worked in the garden and did some light housework, and looking after chickens and cuddly cats whilst they were away.

Amy was with our family for a couple of weeks this fall. She helped with house and garden, and lovingly accepted intense cuddling from pushy pets. She is kind and hardworking and lovely to be around. I wish we had more time to spend together but if we weren't working we were away (while she held down the fort).
I recommend Amy for any exchange,… read more

I had a wonderful week with Gail and Ted. Gail was extremely welcoming and made sure that I enjoyed my stay and saw all the best spots! Ted is the sweetest little guy and I loved our morning walks together. The work was fun and varied, and the room was so cosy with great views. I would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to explore the Sunshine… read more

I had the best time on Galiano with Christian, Martine and Snoopy- so much so that I ended up staying twice as long as planned! They made me feel so welcome and ensured that I got the most out of my time here and try new things that interested me. I learned sailing, went on a kayaking and camping weekend, and went on lots of beautiful hikes around… read more

Amy is an excellent WorkAway volunteer and a super nice person too! If you get a chance to host them, take it.

Amy was the perfect buddy for our puppy, and all of us, both human and canine alike, hope that Amy comes back and keeps telling those terrible terrible jokes. :-)

We enjoyed getting to know Amy and having her here. She communicated well with the everyone here and we all enjoyed working with her. She was responsible in the work she did and took pride in doing a good job. We'd be happy to have Amy back in the future.

I had the most wonderful week at Suzanne's. It was my first Workaway and I felt so comfortable and at home. It rained for some of my visit, so we did some inside jobs as well as garden projects. Suzanne was great at showing me what to do and I learned a lot from her. She took me to so many beautiful places, and daily walks and cuddles with Esther… read more
