Description
Hi my name Charlène and i'm from Montréal, Canada. I speak french and English and bit of Spanish. I studied to become an industrial engineer but I have since travel the world and tried different work experiences! Brandon, my husband, is from Ontario so he only speaks english. We met while working in the Northwest Territories of Canada and we now have 2 kids! Zoe born sept 2022 and Rio born oct 2024. When Zoe was 14 months old we left for a 4 months journey in Australia, New Zealand and did Workaway there. It was awesome!!! We both have lots of energy, we love meeting new people and having a sense of community so we would like to meet another family this summer who would like our help around their land-house. We believe Workaway experiences are the most memorable. Our kids are easy travelers and they love adventures and meeting people. I am so curious of everything in life and I love to try new things. I have done some volunteering experience in Colombia, Equator, Canada and India and I loved it :) I love to talk with people, get to know different cultures, religions, habits. I'm always interested in what people have to say. I'm always seeking to learn and embrace new thinking. People is what usually make the difference in my travel experiences. Things I like to do : cooking, sports or anything energetic, DIY, animals , children, nature, landscape, simplicity, peace!

Charlène and Brandon are just THE BEST people.
Little Zoe was such a great company to my daughtet, and baby Rio sooo cute boy.
I'm so thankful they manage to come last minute and we could meet just before they leave Brazil. Was a short but amazing time together, as our families knew each other for long years before. Great conversations!!

I want to express how a beautiful being Dalila is ! even though our plans changed and we couldn't stay with her and her family for so long we had the chance to meet up with her regularly and enjoy some time with her and her kid. She was so kind to invite me to a magical ceremony happening at her house. I would describe her as a caring, loving,… read more

We spent 5 weeks at Phil's & KP and we absolutely loved our stay here! We, ourselves, are a family of 3 (travelling with our 2 years old daughter) and we just had such a great fit with this family. To start, the container in which we lived was amazing and so comfortable. We couldn't have wished for a better setup to sleep for our family! We… read more

Charlene and Brandon (and baby Zoe) stayed with us in January and were of immense help around the house and property here. We have quite a few Workawayers at one time and they mucked in with everyone else, going above and beyond their working hours, helping with childcare, cooking, tree release, general maintenance and planting seedlings. Charlene… read more

We had the most amazing time at Ollie & Nat! I would recommend this place and go back there in a heart beat! They shared with us their love and passion ; Ollie through his knowledge of foraging food and kayaking down the river, Nat through Zumba and Yin Yoga! Alex and Anna were the best to play with our daughter and to keep us creative and… read more

I had the pleasure of hosting Charlene through Workaway, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She was an invaluable help in various aspects, including construction, gardening, and even taking care of my children and handling our daily tasks. Charlene's cheerful and positive nature brought a breath of fresh air to our family. Her dedication and… read more

Charlene has been a great team player/leader and a work machine! It's amazing how fast she gets stuff done and she's definitely physically fit for hard work. We've enjoyed her spontaneity and personality too and were amazed about her ability to jump on projects with full curiosity, passion and determination. You'll be lucky to have her helping… read more

Simply WOW ! I had such an amazing experience on this Permaculture Community Farmstay.

It was my first time living in a community. We were 10 or 12 in total - a mix of Workaways and formal Residents. Everyone is young and very active in… read more
