I loved this Workaway. Joelle and Jordan were awesome hosts and welcomed me into their lives and culture. Touton and Tea were good company when Joelle and Jordan were away.

Frances was an excellent Workawayer! She took great care of our home and pets while we were away, ensuring everything was well looked after. Her sourdough and brownies were absolutely amazing! On top of that, she was a great hockey buddy for Jordan. We would happily welcome her back anytime.

I loved hanging out… read more

Kat lives a very busy life but was very welcoming, as were the rest of the household. I helped out with housework, renovation… read more
