Descripción
Hello!

My name is Mel, and I am a Dutch Canadian. I speak both English and Dutch fluently.

I enjoy being outside and working with animals, especially horses and cattle. I love learning about and working with all sorts of both wild and farm animals. I was born and raised on a hog farm, and participated in 4H. I graduated from an agriculture college (Beef major) and am currently continuing my education. I would love to learn about how different farms/ranches operate throughout Canada and the world.
Some of my hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, horseback riding and woodworking.
I love learning about other people's lifestyles, and would love to give others a glimpse of mine!

In the summer of 2023, I spent 4 months travelling Canada, from BC to Quebec, doing workaway farmstays and living in my car. I enjoyed seeing more of the country I grew up in.

I spent October 2025- March 2026 travelling across Europe. I visited 11 countries, hostelling and doing workaway farmstays. I enjoyed my time backpacking and am excited to return to Europe again in the future!

I stayed with Tom and Cecile for 10 days and the experience was amazing. They are both thoughtful, open minded, knowledgeable people. I felt comfortable and welcome throughout my whole stay. I learned so much about sheep, gardening, and more. We had many great conversations about everything including life and farming in Spain and Canada. The meals… read more

It has been a real pleasure to host Melissa. Mel grew up on a farm and it is immediately clear that she is born to run a farm herself too. She has what it takes; attitude, motivation, skills,hands-on mentality and perseverance. We could offer an introduction in how to take care of sheep and their lambs, how to plant fruit trees, how to prepare… read more

I stayed here last December for a couple of weeks, and it was a great experience. Elke is very kind and welcoming. The work and expectations were very clear and very fair. The chores were explained by the other workawayers, but Elke was always there to answer questions. I was also able to ride multiple times during my stay, and learned a lot.… read more

To put it in short, my stay with Ron and Renae was amazing.
After making plans that I would come in August, Renae messaged me in May if I would be able to come then as well, which I did. Right when I arrived, I was welcomed by their amazing dogs (I spent a lot of time with the dogs). The family was super kind and welcoming and made me feel right… read more
