Description

Hi!

We're an adventurous, friendly couple in our mid-20s, currently looking for a new adventure in Canada :) We’re both exchange students at Polytechnique Montréal, completing the first part of our master’s degrees in civil engineering, and we’d love to extend our stay through a Workaway experience!

Both of us love the outdoors, as we have grown up skiing, biking and hiking. This past summer we spent working closely together in northern Sweden, at Kebnekaise mountain station, far away from any roads or civilisation. It was our greatest luck to have the mountains and rivers as our backyard! With a small staff we made the whole place go around and built strong connections in just a few months. Our main tasks were cleaning, but we also assisted wherever needed — from maintenance work to serving breakfast in the restaurant.

We’re open to all kinds of tasks — from gardening and farm work to taking care of children and helping around the house, caring for animals, or doing small repairs. We are adaptable, easy-going and eager to learn.
