We loved staying with Karen and Rick.
We were accommodated in a spacious and very clean RV. We had access to their bathroom in their house.
The work went well despite the high temperatures. Rick and Karen are very caring. It was satisfying to help them with their home projects.
Rick cooks very well and we were able to go hiking with Karen.

We really enjoyed having Lucie and Paul stay with us. They were hard-working, polite and respectful of our property. The weather during their Workaway was some of the hottest we've had so far this summer. This did not deter Lucie and Paul. Besides general yard clean up and weeding, they worked on leveling a driveway and spreading gravel. They also

We really enjoyed hosting Lion and Thore. They were respectful and incredibly hardworking. Some of the jobs they did for us include yardwork, moving heavy lumber and cleaning/renovation prep. We were impressed with their efforts as they laboured through unexpected hot weather.
We enjoyed getting to know them both during discussions at dinner. We

We stayed with Karen and Rick for a little over a week and had an absolutely wonderful time. Karen and Rick are great hosts and have made us feel at home from day 1. They are both really kind and made sure that we were enjoying our stay. Karen showed us stunning hikes and we were even able to use their e-bikes and kayaks. Shawnigan Lake and

There’s a fully equipped kitchen, a big TV and a heated mattress which we really enjoyed :) Karen and Rick are great cooks and dinner was always delicious. The work we did was varied and fun and we particularly enjoyed the interesting conversations with them over dinner. We had a great time and will miss you and the dogs! We're hoping to see you again soon!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Where do I even start….
My stay at Karen and Ricks house was just perfect and I felt like home every minute of it.
From the beginning on they did everything so that I felt very comfortable and safe.
Their fifth wheel was amazing and so were all the dinners they cooked for me!
I went on some beautiful hikes with Karen and she also taught me fun new

Ricks Yorkshire Puddings were just mind blowing but to be honest I have to say that about all their meals.
Even though I just stayed one week I can say that those people are more than one stay worth and I would recommend them to everyone!
Rick and Karen thank you again for everything, I loved everything about my stay at your placeVous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Emma was a pleasure to host. She was hardworking and respectful. What impressed me most about Emma was her willingness to try any experience offered. She truly is here to learn about and experience the Canadian way of life.
Some of the jobs Emma helped us with were cleaning up around our yard, put up privacy fencing and deep cleaning paint from

Emma is just beginning her journey in Canada so we want any further hosts to know that we highly recommend her!
Happy travels Emma!Feedback

It was a pleasure to host Julia and Luis. Besides having an excellent work ethic, they were respectful and appreciative of our home and the space we provided for them.
The tasks Julia and Luis did for us included; building a concrete block retaining wall for a garden, putting up a fence, removing rocks from soil so we could plant grass and

If we let them, they would have worked many more hours than expected. We appreciate all their hard work and are grateful for the suggestions Luis gave us for our yard. While we would have loved them to stay longer, we wish them well on their travels.

We had a great stay with Karen and Rick! It was our first experience with Workaway and it couldn’t have been better.
We stayed in their big fifth wheeler/RV which was a perfect home.
Rick and Karen are so kind and helpful with anything. It was nice to have their local experience for beautiful hikes and things to do! We also had great nights with
