Dejado por el workawayer (Joelle) para el anfitrión
I spent four wonderful months at Jeanne and Allan’s place and had an amazing time. Helping Jeanne with various tasks was always enjoyable — the work was never too much and varied enough to keep things interesting. From the very first day, she made me feel completely at home.
Their two adorable cats, Spark and Freckles, were always a sweet and

One of the highlights was visiting her lovely father in Québec, which was such a special experience. Jeanne even made sure I got to ride a skidoo — something that had been on my Canadian bucket list! She also took me to a fantastic place to try authentic poutine (a must!), and I was able to bring home some delicious local tire d’érable (maple taffy) as a souvenir.
I'm deeply grateful for their flexibility with the length of my stay and for welcoming me into their home. It was an unforgettable experience that I’ll always cherish.
Thank you! 😊Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Joelle)
Joëlle stayed with us for 4 months. This is the longest a traveler stayed with us. I have to say that since she left, I have missed her tremendously! She is a hard worker - she kept the kitchen and the house spotless the whole time. She liked to be busy and if she finished a task while I wasn't around, she would find something to do. A real self

She was also very independent and planned her own activities on the week ends; which made it easier to have someone staying for several months.
She loved out cats and we had great conversations over tea, breakfast oatmeal of nice Montréal style bagels!
I recommend Joëlle 100% for any stay (well, may be not if you have a lot of cooking to do 😄). Joking aside, she is reliable, polite, dedicated and hard working.
You are welcome back to our house anytime Joëlle, for a stay or just a social visit!
Take care, Jeanne and Allan

I had a great time with Jeanne and Allan in Whitby! It was the perfect place to start my travels in Canada and Jeanne took me to so many places in the area but also further away.

If you want to learn a lot about Canada I can absolutely recommend Jeanne´s and Allan´s place, the cultural exchange is amazing with Jeanne and the game nights with everyone were so much fun.
Thank you so so much for showing me around and for everything else. I hope to see you again, who knows maybe in Sweden one day :DSolo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Pauline was a great volunteer and we really enjoyed her company. She did some paint tasks for us and the quality of the workmanship is exceptional. She has a lot of great ideas and can help independently.

Pauline helped me move along in some projects where I was stuck and her can do attitude was really helpful. A real blessing.
I highly recommend Pauline as a Workawayer. She is good company, she has good work ethic, is eager to do well, has a lot to share, doesn't need supervision, etc. And the conversation is always interesting.
All the best in your next chapter discovering Canada!

Don't be fooled by Giulia's young age. She is an old soul and mature beyond her age. We had the most interesting conversations and a lot of fun too. She is dynamic and a hard worker. If there were no instructions, she would just find something to do and keep busy.
We highly recommend Giulia for any stay. She is creative, a self starter, a quick

Thanks for all your help and for the good companionship. It was a joy to have you stay with us. You are welcome to come back anytime!
All the best for the beautiful life you are building ahead of you!

Aline nous a aidé à démarrer le jardin pour la nouvelle saison. Grace à son aide, les légumes poussent bien et nous devrions bien manger en août.

My stay with Jeanne and Allan was very short but I learned a lot of new things and I had a great time.
Jeanne always explained the things that I had to do to me and if I had any questions regarding the task I could always ask her and get the help I needed. It was a great stay, where I learned a lot about gardening, running a house and the Canadian

Although this was a very short stay, Annabell has been a very helpful and welcomed last minute Workaway in our house. She helped with the cats, housekeeping, paperwork and other tasks while I was not able to keep up. We also did some spring gardening together.
I definitely benefited from the cultural exchange piece as we had many enriching

All the best with the rest of your Canadian experience!

It has been a real pleasure to have Andreza with us for her 6 weeks stay. Although she didn't have the skills and experience to tackle some of our projects on her own, she was eager to learn and a quick learner too. Unfortunately, she had another stay scheduled after ours. We would have otherwise been happy to extend her stay. The fact that she is

The cultural exchange was great as we all learned from each other and shared about our respective cultures, traditions and local history. We couldn't have asked for a better match for a first Workaway experience. Our house is in better shape now and she helped a great deal.
Thanks for everything Andreza! Please keep in touch!

I stayed 6 weeks with Jeanne in Whitby and I had an incredible time! She's a great teacher, super patient, kind and also really funny!

She took me to amazing places and got me to try different Canadian foods and restaurants that I've never
