Hospitality exchange in Quebec City, Canada
Hospitality exchange in Canada – We are a family of 4. One girl of 6 and boy 4. Very flexible, funny and not complicated. We live in the beautiful Quebec City, 5 minutes from YQB airport. On weekends, we are going to our chalet/holiday house in Lac-Etchemin. We are doing many activities like kayak, boat, paddleboard, swimming in the lake and spa etc…
My son has multiple food allergies and dog allergies. I have to cook a lot. We offer you accommodation in exchange for helping at home after school: playing with the children in the yard, swimming in the pool, helping in the kitchen and cleaning. We like to discover other cultures and improve our English. We speak French and work at home in English. I also understand German well and speak German a little bit. You are welcome in our beautiful house. You will have your bedroom and bathroom separate in the basement.

Dear Sir, good morning!
I hope this message finds you well.
Usually my friends in Brazil called me Duuh or Edu. I’m single, I’m live alone, no children, just my plants/flowers (lol). I worked with international trade / international moving for 10 years but I already worked with many things before as well (pubs, restaurants, administrative assistance, financial asisstant) so I decided to leave my job and try to start everything again in another country. To be honest my obtjective is learn my English and other languages, if possible, meet people, learn new things, meet a new world that I already had a chance to know that exist, i.e: when I stayed in Canadรก on October, 2019.
I’m a good people, I’m very patient, honest, talktive, goodvibe, pro-active, there is no trouble time for me I’m gay and I’m sure that I am able to fill this opportunity. I have improved my English watching series and movies in English. I’m graduated in International business trade so my level is intermediate as you can ready here.
I’m sure that this opportunity would be THE BEST THING would happens in my life at this moment.
Warm regards,
Eduardo Teixeira

My name is Emanuele, I am from Italy and I am 20 years old. I am studying economy at Bocconi University, in Milan. Right now I feel the need to help others and it would be a great chance for me to help your family in any way I can. I would like to cook some of the dishes my mother taught me, as well as give you all the help you need with your children, which is never enough in a family. Also, it would be my intention to improve my English, especially in Canada, which I have never visited. I hope my request has caught your attention and that I can help you in some way.
I await your kind reply,

what fields can I volunteer on?
Hi, hope you’re well!My name is Inรฉs, I’m 21, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, about to finish my Marketing degree, fluent in Spanish and English. I saw your post about hosting a voluntourist to help around the house and with the kids, and I’d love to applyย I just wanted to check first whether the opportunity is still open, since I noticed the post has been up for a while.A little about me: I’m very much a family personย I’m the middle of three siblingsย and I love cooking, so helping in the kitchen and around the house sounds perfect. I have no food allergies. I also have experience adapting to shared households: I’ve lived with friends, alone, and with my own family, plus an academic exchange in Italy and 6 months backpacking through Europe, so living with a new family and pitching in with daily tasks feels very natural to me. I’m responsible and organized, and I’m available between January and March.Let me know if the position is still available and if you need anything else from me!Best,
Inรฉs
