Milan stayed at my place for 1 week.
Although he stayed for short period, he helped us to clean and do the house keeping everyday.
He is a friendly guy, likes writing letters in stead of email or social media.
He share his traveling experience with us and we had great time here.
We wish him all the best for his journey and have fun.

I had a fantastic 2 weeks time in Balik pulau with Adrian and his interesting friends!
This is a cousy sweet house in the nature with exotic fruits in the big garden. The work was not hard and quite relaxed.
Hope to see ADRIAN and his friends again.

Adrian may be new to workaway, but he is an experienced host who knows how to look after his guests.

Very inspiring. The place has… read more
