Descripción
***Update!!! I have started planning my Euro trip for next year!!! Will be accepting invitations for January, 2022 and beyond!!!!***

I am a university student from Toronto, Canada and currently in the last semester of my English major, and planning to obtain a CELTA/TESOL English Teacher's certificate after graduation! With the career goal of teaching English abroad, I have been volunteering as a Workawayer for more than two years and have worked at different language immersion camps, language schools and in various domestic settings as an English-speaking tutor.

My main tasks are to teach English at language schools and summer camps, and they include curriculum planning, leading group activities and games, and helping around the house. Apart from the serious "work", I love to organize some "alternative" activities with my hosts, such as testing different recipes, kayaking, cycling, hiking, playing soccer and basketball or camping! When volunteering at local schools, I enjoyed playing language games and having meaningful conversations with students. I think that the best way to engage students into their lesson is to have fun with them and become a part of them!

Other than that, I would be very happy to discover new hobbies! Recently, I have been trying to learn Spanish and Polish (and maybe French!). However, if you are also a creative person, feel free to tell me other ideas of what we could do together!
See you soon!

I spent almost 2 weeks with Iwona and her family, and I'd say it was an absolutely incredible experience. They showed me great Polish hospitality, and I was given the opportunity to volunteer at Iwona's school as an English tutor. Her students were very intelligent and adorable. Stasiek was a little shy, but he managed to help me out as an Polish… read more

It was wonderful to stay with Jacek and his family. He was a respectable man with great insights and great sense of humor. His 2 daughters were very intelligent and talented. Indeed, you'll never get bored getting along along with them! Together we had lessons with interesting topics: Creative and critical writing, vegetarian diet (not only his… read more

Kelvin is a person with big dreams. He is not afraid to face challenges. And he is a hard working person. At our language school he was open for teaching all sort of students. Thank you Kelvin for being with us for a few weeks. I wish you good luck for your future.

I already knew Tom was a very reliable and kind person before we met. There was a delay on my arrival caused by an accident and he could still managed to pick me up at the train station very late at night. My accommodation plan was very well organized and I was warmly welcomed by his family, Barbara and his students. It was my first time teaching… read more

It was an amazing experience having Kelvin with us. We knew he was trusthworthy, helpful and friendly the day he arrived at our place. Besides helping kids with English, he shared stories about his life with us and willingly participated in simple domestic chores like doing the washing-up.
No doubt he is a great workawayer!

I would give this host 10 stars instead of 5- I had the most wonderful and joyous time during my stay with Beata's family and her students. Beata and her husband were one of the greatest and most generous hosts I ever met. I had so much fun with their son, Mateusz and his friends in our English lesson. All of them were very smart, spontaneous, and… read more

It was my first time to volunteer at an English Immersion Camp and everything was new to me. I came as a stranger because I didn't know everyone, but thankfully, I met the most amazing participants, volunteers and coordinators who helped me overcome my shyness.

Lena's family is very warm and welcoming. I really felt at home during my entire stay. Not only did I get an opportunity to taste and experience Polish tradition, but also felt like being a part of the family.
The three lovely children whom I spoke with in English were very shy, but we could manage to finish our "English lessons" and to build our… read more
