Descrição
I am a single mom with 2 sons aged 22, 20. We live in a bungalow in a small town in rural Alberta, but we are close to the city of Calgary and the Rocky Mountains. I work from home, I homeschooled my 2 youngest sons, who are now living on their own. We love to travel, I have taken my sons to India, Europe, Mexico, Guatamala, and the United States. We have a large yard and are planting a garden this year. My oldest son and myself enjoy gardening. We enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their travel stories. We can offer the experience of living in a small town, but we also visit my sisters in the city of Calgary where there are many tourist attractions. If time permits there may also be opportunities to visit Banff National Park and many other scenic wonders.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Ursula) para o anfitrião
Kerri and her son Eli welcomed us (my Partner Andreas and I) with their big hearts into their family. It was even hard to believe how well a family that doesn't know us at all, allows us to feel completely at home right away. We enjoyed the work, felt comfortable in our room, had fun conversations at the dinner table and went to a bar with Eli.… read more

I have never been so sad to see 2 workawayers leave before. Ursula and Andreas were an absolute delight to have in our home. They arrived as strangers and left as family! They were so easy to have around and were very understanding when I had some water pipe challenges! They are very hard working and more then willing to take on any task you ask… read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my stay. I have rarely felt so at home and have always been supported with my ideas. Most of the time I went out with the dogs, (the two ladies are very cute) or have cooked. The family was very open to new dishes and appreciated my work very much. I also did some gardening.

We stayed at Kerri’s place for five weeks and it’s just been awesome. Kerri and her son Eli are amazing hosts! Kerri showed us for example how to make very delicious buns and granola. Eli took us to Calgary, showed us downtown and a trampoline and skate park. We also played cards, which was a lot of fun.

I genuinely left feeling I was a part of the family. There was nothing that was too much for Kerri and it was really hard leaving them because it was like leaving my own family once again! Their kindness, hospitality and genuine openness to life is an inspiration. If you are in the area and not staying here there is something wrong with you!

It was not possible for Tim to stay with us, but he stayed with my very good friends. However, he did come and work for me for a day and I must say we accomplished alot in that day! Tim is a very hard worker and does not quit until the job is done. We wish Tim all the best for his travels across Canada....

Even though I didn't stay at Kerris place I've learned to know her a bit.
She was conveying me to another family and I have to thank her so much for getting me out of a troubling situation.
From the one day I worked with her I can say that she is easy to get a long with and showed me great hospitality.
Thank you Kerri!
