It was a pleasure having Michal!
She goes with the flow of what is happening and has such a wide range of skills, she is a definite asset. As an experienced workawayer she was able to help us learn to be hosts:) While Gardening, baking, spending time in the workshop and hiking we had many good conversations and truly feel she brought us a bit of … read more

Hard to find the words to describe how generous and welcoming Adam and Cat are!
There's a beautiful garden (heaven if you like cooking with fresh ingredients), and there are hiking trails really close by (including to a beautiful secluded beach).
Combined with really wonderful (and fun!) hosts that showed me around the Island, and several … read more

I stayed with Chantal a couple of weeks this winter, and had a lovely time.
Chantal is very caring and social host, and the whole family were warm and welcoming. They included me in leisure activities (including some very memorable snow-mobiling), and we enjoyed cooking together and sharing recipes.
The work itself included some light renovations … read more

Michal joined us last minute and stayed for 7 days during a Newfoundland winter. She’s a fantastic vegetarian cook, adventurous, and always up for exploring.

We did a cultural exchange for her photography skills, and she’s incredibly talented. She captured some beautiful shots for our band that we’ll treasure.

Michal brought such positive, … read more

Work expectations were reasonable and adaptable, and the living conditions were great.
We shared ideas and interesting conversations, and I got to join along in excursions that gave me a taste of local life.
Really happy that … read more

Michal started with us for two weeks and did a wide range of jobs in the garden, house, and around the acreage. She’s a very careful and conscientious worker and I always felt that she took great care of our tools and did a fantastic job at everything. She’s easy to have around and I enjoyed our conversations about our travels, culture, and … read more

I spent four lovely days at Nancy's cosy new cabin in her garden in a lovely setting. The work included a little carpentry and cleaning/tidying.
Nancy is a very accommodating and generous host, and flexible with jobs and hours that suits the volunteers.
She shared interesting stories and good food, and I got to meet some of her friends and get a … read more

Definitely one of the best Workaway experiences I've had! Got to learn a lot about building, improve my carpentry skills, and do some trail clearing in the forest :)

Michal is fantastic! She helped us on so many different tasks and was always keen to learn and help out on any project. She helped us more than expected and even shared her local cooking with us. She was a great company too and we (including our cats) already miss her!

Michal, out time together was too short! You're an amazing person to have around: I love your calm presence, your great attitude, your attention to detail, and I'll be forever in awe of the shelf you built, cutting precision square holes in planks with nothing but a chisel and a hammer. Wow! Thanx for your help and friendship: I hope we'll meet … read more

I had a highly enjoyable, relaxing and interesting time at Shiva's camp. Shiva is an excellent host, very caring, attentive and open for new ideas. The camp is a great environment to practice old skills and learn new ones, to have new experiences (I highly recommend the solar shower:) ), and share your time with people from across the world.
