Description
We are Jason and Melanie, a 28 year old couple, together for 10 years from Ontario, Canada. We are so grateful for the Workaway program which has led us to so many amazing opportunities. We continue to travel using Workaway and have exchanged in Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua, the United Kingdom, and Portugal.
We consider ourselves to be hardworking, dependable and respectful. We enjoy quiet time to relax and embrace good company as much as we love experiencing a new adventure. We love the outdoors and are passionate about living in sustainable ways. We are keen on learning new things and we aren't afraid to hold back.
All of our exchange experiences have been great sources for growth and learning, which is why we are so excited to continue travelling and exchanging across the world!

We had a wonderful stay with Eva, Nikki, and Joey. Their home is big, beautiful, and welcoming. We stayed with them at the end of the season so things were just winding down as guests were leaving.

Mel and Jason are a lovely couple, a pleasure to host and were a great help.
They helped me with everything and even painted my laundry for me, a job I've been trying to finish for ages.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, hard working and trust worthy couple.
