Description
I am a communicative and helpful person. I come from a family of craftsmen. After completing my training as a cutting machine operator, I went on to study. Due to my experience on farms in New Zealand, I would like to take the opportunity to get to know the real Canada. I am particularly fascinated by Canada's nature and history.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
We are Volker and Sarah and have been traveling through Australia, New Zealand, and currently Canada as part of our Work and Travel journey. In each country, we have not only traveled but actively worked, gaining hands-on experience on farms. Especially in Canada, we have completed several farm stays and WWOOF-style placements through another platform.
We adapt quickly to new environments and value a respectful approach to people, tools, and living spaces. Hosts often describe us as reliable, responsible, and easy to live and work with.
We work independently, recognize tasks proactively, and develop practical solutions without the need for constant supervision. We are good at prioritizing work based on weather conditions, urgency, and workload.
Through our farm stays, we have gained experience in general farm work, land clearing and maintenance, as well as building and repair projects. We are confident and careful in the use of power tools and take pride in working precisely and safely.
In addition to our practical skills, we bring openness, a positive attitude, humor, and a strong willingness to learn. We truly enjoy farm life and aim to make a meaningful and lasting contribution wherever we stay.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Learn about farm life at our ...)

From the very beginning, I was welcomed with incredible warmth and hospitality. At first, like with every new host as a volunteer, it was a bit of a mystery what to expect. Very quickly, however, it became clear that this family is open, kind, and genuinely caring. It never felt like I was just a guest, instead, I felt like a true part of the… read more family. I was also warmly included in their wider circle of friends, which made the experience even more special. Even though my English was not perfect, they always helped me to improve my language skills, which made communication even more meaningful.

Life on the farm was both exciting and enriching. The projects were diverse and hands-on. The construction work was similar to classic carpentry, including finishing a sauna made of the finest cedar wood and advancing a cabin for future WWOOFers. It was also incredibly exciting to see how maple syrup is produced, and I had the chance to get creative myself. For Christmas, I was able to make a cutting board for my parents, which was a very personal and special experience. In addition, I helped with the daily farm tasks and worked with the animals, especially horses and chickens. Each day felt like another enrichment, full of shared work, learning, and genuine collaboration. Everything had purpose and was done together as a team.

The food deserves a special mention. Honestly, the best food I’ve had in Canada. Fresh, home-cooked meals shared around the table added greatly to the strong sense of family and community.

Christmas was a particularly touching moment. I was deeply surprised and moved to receive a very thoughtful gift for my upcoming bikepacking trip through the USA and Patagonia. It was far from ordinary. Thank you so much again. This gesture truly reflects the family’s warmth and generosity.

Beyond the farm, Gabriola Island has so much to offer: beautiful hiking trails, a charming village full of genuine kindness, and countless opportunities for outdoor activities. Whether it was fishing, swimming, or sitting by a fire on the shore, there were always special moments, both alone and together with the family.

The stay was so positive and enriching that I already know: this summer, I would love to return and spend another four weeks with the family. This farm is more than just a place. It truly feels like a home away from home. And now, this experience has become an integral part of my story on my world trip. 🤍
