Descrição

What motivates me is HAPPY, positive people. I enjoy working hard and long hours with energetic people who have a sense for life and respect for others. Often, I'm asked, "Why are you always smiling?". The answer is simple, I enjoy helping others in need, Life is good and I consider myself very lucky and very fortunate to be where i am today. I've worked in Africa for 11 years as a project manager/supervisor, building hospitals and schools. I know all about hardships and living off-grid. I'm skilled at carpentry, working a chainsaw, and heavy machinery (skid steer, grade all, forklift, ext.) I also have experience with horses and riding. I have learned with the Irwin horsemanship method but would love to learn more about ranching and the cowboy way of life.

Deixado pelo Workawayer () para o anfitrião (Our farm in Duncan BC, set ...)

I have been participating in workaways for a few years now and to be honest I was starting to get discouraged by the hosts until I met Ron, Amanda and Judy.

Right from the start I felt welcomed and appreciated. Ron helped me set up my RV and made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable. He has extensive knowledge of wine making and … read more

Claire has been a true hero that I will not soon forget. She steps up to the plate and helps anyone in need. I was one of them and she took me in and showed what a true Canadian really is. Any one looking for a peaceful place in exchange for an honest day of work will appreciate this place.
Thanks again Claire and hope we meet again soon.

Gerry came to us pretty impromptu for a few days on his way back to the coast.
He was friendly, helpful, positive and extremely capable.
You are welcome to come back any time Gerry.

Gerry came to help us as soon as we discussed a plan. He was ready and hit the ground running. We were preparing for help with Dave's surgery and me having to go away to assist my daughter with her baby. We were impressed with his drive to complete a project and also his love for our land and animals. Many heart to heart chats as we took horseback … read more

I have been very fortunate to have worked at many other ranches but Becky and Dave's ranch exceed all others. Becky and I shared some heart to heart stories of our past, she was a great listener and an incredible tractor operator. Our days out on the range with the horse looking for cattle will not soon be forgotten. Dave has the patients of a … read more

A huge thank you to Liezel and Larry. I now understand why Workaways keep coming back. To see Liezel work those dogs was amazing. The experience was unforgettable and the people of Saskatchewan my hat is off to you. Thanks again.

Gerry is the third ‘older’ guest that we’ve had through the years and let me tell you, older does not mean slower!
Gerry is up at the crack of dawn and has a go-getter attitude- he will outwork almost anyone!
Confident and able to handle solo tasks but also worked great as a team member.
Thanks for the help Gerry and we wish you the best of luck!
