Description
Hello, we are Jolanda and Lukas and parents of our 2 year old and sweet girl Aileen. Since 2015 we've travelled together through Canada and Alaska every year until our wish came true to become a mom and a dad.

We love to travel and be in rough nature of the north. Now we've decided to do a break and enjoy family-time and recharge our batteries. We would love to explore Canada and Alaska again but this time with destinations far away from tourists where we can meet local people and help them with their work or projects. Further, we would like to see other continents and drive through New Zealand and Australia.

Our goal is to decelerate from our hectic and digital daily life and get back to the real essential in life while we can meet new people and get different perspectives.

We are open-minded, flexible, reliable and motivated. We always like to learn something new and we love to get new inspiration from another culture.

In Switzerland we work as a primary school teacher as well as an early music teacher and as a Controller. Furthermore we both like music and play the accordion solo as well as in an orchestra. In our leisure time we love to read books, listen to music or a podcast, hike, bike, cook and bake, play card and board games, observe animals and enjoy a cup of excellent tea.

We love to be surrounded by nature, animals and friendly people.

It was great having Jolanda, Lukas and Aileen at home. They are a beautiful little family that brought a great spirit along. They were very easy going and always down to help. They offered their time for any projects that was going on and were happy to hang out with the group when we did activities together. We were really happy to meet them and… read more

We got to spend a week with Roman and Gabby and had a wonderful time. A very loving and helpful couple with a sweet little daughter. We were able to learn a lot during this week and had a lot of free time besides work for example to go canoeing, go on excursions or just to be.

Thank you very much for letting us spend a week with you, we enjoyed… read more

Jolanda and Lukas came for a week with their adorable (and very well behaved) daughter Aileen. They were always willing to jump in with the projects we were doing. Our children absolutely loved playing with Aileen! They were very tidy and organized (thanks for cleaning up before you left!). We hope one day we will hear of your adventures and maybe… read more

We were able to experience and learn… read more

Lukas, Jolanda and Aileen were a pleasure to have stay in our home. They worked very hard and helped out in a lot of ways - especially with yard tasks that I asked them to do. Aileen is a very pleasant child who is incredibly well behaved. She interacted well with our young family. Everyone was sad when it was time for this family to move onto… read more

It was our first workaway. A very friendly and open family. We felt very comfortable and in good hands during this week. Our daughter felt right at home, had a lot of fun and joy with you. There was a lot to discover and a lot to play with.
Thank you for the exchange, the trips and the good food :)
