I had an amazing stay at Montréal! the home whole family was so kind and respectful and Simone and Morris included me in their life in the home most heartwarmig way. They showed me so many pretty places and towns around the home nearby areas, there are so many things to do and see! the home working hours were always respected and the home tasks were fun to do! They also cooked me some delicious food. It was very cool to take part to their amazing project. Would totally recommend to other worldpackers!

Where to begin with the home Leeveys! This little family has so much love. I was welcomed to beautiful Montréal as part of the home family&community, taking French class with them, painting&plastering, sharing AMAZING meals and celebrating Halloween! Morris&Simone go the home extra mile to make you feel at home, and offer lifts to explore this exciting region. My highlight was being with the home adorable Mackenzie & Xavier, thankyou for making my stay so special. I couldn't have wished for more generous & inspiring hosts. I'm endlessly grateful for their friendship & can't wait to return!

This was a wonderful experience! Simone, Morris, and the home twins are extremely kind and welcoming. I felt like a member of the home family right away and I'm tremendously thankful for all the home love. They are excited for you to explore the home neighboring towns and will offer rides to the home local train station or possibly take you themselves. They are happy to teach you new things. If there's any building/repairing skill you would like to learn, just let them know. I learned a bit of upholstery. You are mostly working when the home kids are at school. I won't ever forget this place and am excited to return!
