Descrição
Currently we are doing Travel Workaways. Please read UPDATE for our next Workaway location.

We are based in Medan. Medan is a cool city to check out authentic local culture in Indonesia. There is almost no tourist here. Kualanamu airport KNO is the main entry point to Sumatra, sixth largest island in the world with interesting places such as Bukit Lawang (Orang Utan), Lake Toba (the world largest volcanic lake), Nias (surfing) and more. Great to explore Sumatra first, before going on to Jakarta, Java, Bali, Lombok, Raja Ampat and more.

UPDATE:
Our Upcoming Workaway Location and Duration:

May 2025: Penang, Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia

2nd week of June 2025: - Japan & Jeju - Korea (2-3 weeks)
-- Actively recruiting for our Japan road trip: From Fukuoka to Osaka to Nagoya.

and more upcoming locations

Past Locations: Japan, United States, Australia, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey, Greece, Switzerland, UAE and more.

- We strive to provide unique experiences for our volunteers.

- Please let us know clearly what your expectations are.
- Please describe your skill sets and interests, so we can better tailor our Workaway for you.

We are also looking for people here with strong wellness and healthy living knowledge to share with us, so we can improve living qualities and communities around us.

We are also trying to setup a good charity project for an elementary school in Medan. We are looking for volunteers to help us come up with some ideas and to assist in carrying them out with the boys.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Aigul) para o anfitrião

I did a workaway for 2 weeks with Jerry and his family in UAE. It was a bit tiring (10-12 hours a day) but a great experience! I was babysitting his two boys: Philip and James, 3 and 5 years old. Both kids are very sweet, smart and sociable. I just loved the time spent with them. Both kids are quite independent (can use the bathroom on their own,… read more tie their shoes etc...) Despite the similaries they are quite different from each other. Philip, the younger kid, is more playful. He is more into games that require energy. He is more easygoing, emotional (stops crying as soon as he starts it) but a bit more selfish. He is more vibrant and displays his leadership skills more vividly. He is also easier to pursuade into smth. (for ex: it is possible to pursuade him that it is okay for him to give away the toy that his older brother needs now while at times it is almost impossible to pursude James to give away his toy to Philip) James on the other hand is more sensitive, more of an introvert and into intellectual games. He doesn't start crying easily but if he does it is painfully hard to make him stop crying even after he gets what he wants.
I think i did a great job in babysitting them as I feel that at the beginning of my workaway experience they both used to cry more often. After a week or so they became more playful (possibly due to the time spent playing with both) and remained more peaceful. Originally, my workaway was supposed to last 2 weeks but Jerry cut it short for a couple of days as kids were doing pretty good without me by then. Also one tip: if you are planning on doing an acitivity I would recommend either everyone be involved including Imenda & Jerry or if Imenda is busy than just you and the kids. When I was on my own with the kids they never cried and were very much engaged into the process. But if Jerry was there they would always ask for Imenda as well. If she is nearby it's ok but if she is far finding her first would be your goal :)
Kids eat a lot of fast food as well as Jerry and Imenda but fortunately, drink mainly still water. Part of the struggle for me (as someone into healthy diet) was consuming fast food everyday and sometimes 3 times a day. Other than, I had an amazing experience as this was my first time as a workaway volunteer. Miss the kids and often think about them. I am pretty sure though that with Jerry and Imenda's efforts (who do all their best to make sure that kids have everything they need) they will have a happy and fulfilling life. If you still have questions, feel free to pm.
