Join us for an experience of downtown Ottawa, Canada

  Descrição

  We are a fun-loving family who lives in downtown Ottawa in one of the hip/fun/walkable neighbourhoods - Hintonburg. We have a guest suite in our part of the house and we would love to host guests from other parts of the world. We just had our first workaway guest stay in April 2026 and it was so AMAZING.
  
  We are a pretty busy household, doing lots of community building and engagement to make our neighbourhood a better place to live. We also do a lot of folk dancing (contra dance; square dance; etc) and one of us plays trad music (think irish fiddle music).
  
  Because we are quite busy, it would be awesome if you were fairly independent in your activities. However, that being said - we really like connecting other people, learning about their lives, and having -- just a heads up that you'll have lots of time to do your own thing. :)

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are an anglophone household with a bit of french language skills. There are two adults and one 11yr old in our home.
  We do lots of community building and some of the workaway hours to potentially involve those community projects.
  We live right downtown within a 5min walk from the OTrain and are VERY close to the Ottawa River and many cycling paths.
  We do a lot of folk dancing and have gatherings at our place including occasional house concerts, trad dance, parties, games nights, and more.

  Ajuda

  We're pretty flexible and happy to talk to you about this.
  Generally, we'd be looking for help with things like cooking/kitchen support and household cleaning.
  In the summer there are opportunities for yardwork (we have a native pollinator garden) and we could use a set of extra hands on renovations projects. (We have the reno expertise but having another pair of hands would help projects go faster.)
  We're also interested in improving our French skills so if you are a first-language French speaker, sharing your conversational skills in French could be part of the exchange. Our kiddo is also very interested in Japanese food and culture so that could be part of an exchange too.
  The maximum time for work per week won’t vary but the specific times may vary depending on your interests/activities, the tasks we need done, and the weather.

  Este anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
  We speak English so could support someone working on their English skills. We are very happy to host folks from anywhere. It would be particularly fun for us to host folks from a French language background (for us to learn more French) or from Japan (our kiddo is interested in Japanese).

  Acomodação

  We have a two room suite with a double bed, sitting area, small desk, and a closet. It is located at the front of the house and is separated from the hall with sliding doors. There is a separate bathroom beside the suite that the guest has access to. (We use a different bathroom for morning/evening activities but throughout the day we may use the bathroom near the guestroom.)
  In terms of food - we are hoping that as part of your workaway hours, you might help with some meal preparation. We are happy to discuss this with you and find something that works. Either way, we will have groceries and a fully working kitchen on hand. :)
