  Descrição

  Greetings from "The Land Below The Wind" - Sabah, Malaysia's North Borneo. My name is Tina, a local of Kota Kinabalu .
  
  Our place is hottest at daytime. There's bugs and mosquitos yes... We are in the jungle. If you enjoy being in rural area and outdoor lifestyle then our property is perfect Workaway holiday for you!
  
  Our rural property is perched on a 350-meter hill, nestled amongst secondary jungle and an established fruit orchard. We have two budget holiday homes and an open-air multipurpose space.
  
  On the land, there are mature durian trees and pineapple shrubs surrounded by rubber trees. We have 5 rescue dogs and a local couple from a nearby village working as caretakers.
  
  The location is remote but not isolated. The villagers are very friendly, as they know that we have been hosting guests worldwide for well over ten years. The nearest town is Tamparuli, which is 6km from our place.
  
  Minivans at the bus stop take passengers to Kota Kinabalu city centre. Tamparuli town has supermarkets, and the place comes to life on Wednesday's fresh market, when folks from all over the hills come into town to sell their produce and enjoy a bit of social gathering.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Our place is between two villages: Kampung Kiwoi has a mosque, and Kampung Lingga has a church. If you enjoy walking or hiking through dense bushes, our place is ideal. Many ultra-trail runners and sometimes you will find mountain bike cyclists on training pass through our place.
  
  During fruit harvest season, normally around September, you can learn how to pick pineapples and how to open a durian fruit if you don’t mind the smell!

  Ajuda

  We require assistance with weeding around the property and between the pineapple shrubs. Additionally, to assist our caretaker with replanting pineapple shrubs, which is not a heavy task. Our caretaker will handle mowing the grass, caring for the fruit trees, and performing more intensive landscaping tasks. However, if you would like to learn how to use the handheld grass cutter, our caretaker will be happy to teach you.
  
  We don't use pesticide or herbicide on the land; hence, we need help pulling weeds by hand. When there are no guests staying at the holiday homes, the caretaker's wife often joins in with the gardening.
  
  Our caretaker has a 5-year-old in kindergarten and a 3-year-old at home. They are very curious. If you enjoy being around children, they would love the opportunity to learn to speak with you in English.
