Description

After years of dreaming about it, we are currently cycling all the way from our home of Montréal (Canada) to Patagonia. Along the way, we are hoping to discover new cultures though food, language and landscapes.

We have been on the road for almost 9 months now, crossing the United States and now making our way down to Panama. We want to cross into Colombia soon and take a break from cycling to connect with a community, get our hands dirty and change the pace of our trip.

More details about your skills

We both are skilled and enthusiastic cooks. We are eager to make food for ourselves and other, especially after months in the road!

Joël has experience with woodworking. We are both curious and would love to learn about farming, gardening and plants.

We are not afraid to work with our hands and are looking forward to move our bodies in a different way! We are serious and attentive workers. You can count on us for a job well done!

What else ...

We like to read (we carry actual physical books on our bicycles!) and play board games. We also like to keep up with our photography and journals while we are on the road. We enjoy good food, local markets and small local restaurant. We try to enjoy water when we are near the ocean, the sea, a river or a lake.

Nous avons passé un super séjour chez Nathalie et Grégoire. La tiny house est très confortable (en particulier le lit) et nous y avons trouvé tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour relaxer et cuisiner.

Left by host (Help our family while ...) for Workawayer ()

Émilie and Joël stayed with us for about three weeks, and during that time Alex and I had a lot of work outside the farm. We were able to fully trust them with the daily activities of the farm: feeding and caring for the animals, helping improve spaces for new animals, and supporting with the coffee harvest.
They are both very independent, … read more

We will be forever grateful for the time we spend with David and Alex at the finca. We were looking for a Workaway where we could be useful and take some time to rest after more than 5 months cycling from Canada to México. This is exactly what we found, and more!

Around the farm, on a daily basis, we helped with feeding the chickens, collect the … read more
