Description
Travelling with purpose and connection is my absolute favorite thing about my journey workaway-ing around beautiful BC! Volunteering as I travel is is something I have always dreamt of doing (and it feels pretty surreal that this is now my reality!)

I spent last summer living with various families across BC helping out on their gardens and homes in any way that I could! I learnt and laughed so much and will cherish these memories and people forever. I am hoping to spend this summer revisiting past workaway families as well as meeting new ones!

What brings me happiness are the little things, delicious vegan food, animals, yoga, live music, hiking, camping and swimming and of course sharing stories with wonderful humans from all over the world. I am motivated to bring love and light into people’s lives and learn all the lessons this wonderful world has to teach!

A piece of paradise! I absolutely loved my week spent here with Maggie and Hugh and their beautiful family.

The set up here for workawayers is incredible, the trailer was super cosy and private, I swam in the creek every day and the outdoor shower and tub were blissful. And Axel and Hazel are simply the best doggos in the world! We baked, shared… read more

My time with dawn joe and Diogenes was interesting, insightful, delicious and peaceful.

The set up here for workawayers is very nice, there’s an unbelievably gorgeous washroom and shower facility just for workawayers (feels like a 5-star hotel!), it’s a beautiful property and you are cooked delicious food. We slept in tents in the middle of the… read more forest! We worked 5 days a week from 8:30am ish- lunch time around 2:30pm ish, have lunch and then the rest of the day is yours to explore and chill. I really enjoyed spending my afternoons/evenings at the beach nearby and pender has a few cute events on if you keep your eyes peeled! The town is walking distance from the property too.

Joe would take us around the island for swims at his favourite spots after work which was fun. Dawn would cook delicious food and their friend Diogenes, who stays for part of the week, is a super interesting person who I learnt a lot from and had magical breath-work experiences with.

The garden here is in the early stages of development, everything is super organised and it’s going to be incredible to see the evolution over the next few years. Most of my work was spent in the garden which I loved. It was very special to be a part of creating this space.

I personally did struggle with the intermittent fasting schedule, particularly as the work here is very physically demanding. As I left the farm, the hosts were implementing more facilities (fridge & microwave) for future workawayers which will be a great addition for those who pass through in the future. This workaway definitely has a more regimented feel to it compared to my previous workaway experiences, so if you like structure and boundaries then this is the one for you!

Also, I had imagined to do a daily yoga/breath-work practice with the hosts from the looks of the description/reviews, this wasn’t the case but there is the space for you to do your own practice. We did however do one incredible group breath-work practice during my two week stay, and I was also super fortunate to be staying on the property at the same time as another workawayer who had recently finished her yoga teacher training- she was absolutely amazing and I loved practicing yoga with her and other workawayers in the evenings.

My absolute favourite part of this workaway experience was the other workawayers I met and got to hang out with on the farm. We explored pender island together and I will stay in contact and hopefully meet up with these new friends in the future!

So in my personal experience of this little slice of pender paradise - if you are happy to do hard physical work, have a lot of time/freedom to yourself, meet great workawayers, then this the place for you!

Thank you Dawn, Diogenes and Joe, good luck with everything!! ☺️

This farm is absolutely gorgeous, I adored picking strawberries, cherries, blueberries and mulberries fresh every day, making teas from the fresh herbs and having the time to explore and adventure around salt spring was incredible.

To be honest, when I first arrived at the farm, I didn’t feel 100% comfortable. I appreciate that I arrived at an… read more

Emma is joyful and gentle at the same time. In the week she spent with us, she was always happy to help in any task at hand. She is a great storyteller and a kind spirit. We enjoyed great vegan meals and lots of walks with Kai. We appreciated the help in the garden and some organizing of papers… a tall order! Emma receives everyone with a smile… read more

Where to begin!? Micê is an amazing host. I immediately felt at home and welcome here in her beautiful yellow house. For me, everything about this stay felt very natural and relaxed, everything just flowed. From baking delicious vegan goodies to cutting the grass, weeding, cleaning the yoga studio and sorting/tidying. Each day was different from… read more

Where to start?! My stay with Keltie and Paul was SO much fun. From painting, digging and cleaning to taking Domino (the most amazing dog) on adventures and swims - you will work hard here (there is such a huge variety of projects to help with) and you be rewarded with the most delicious and nutritious food - straight from the garden! This was my… read more

Emma was a real delight to have around the house. She is a hard worker, game for anything, and interested in learning and new experiences. It was a great balance of independence and shared time together. Emma helped with some tough yard work, house cleaning, and various other tasks. She was also incredible with our dog - taught him a new trick in… read more
