I had a good experience at the bar. Especially because Alex is a great boss and really caring. The work is pretty simple and you can enjoy free drinks during your shift. Since you don't work during the day you've got plenty of time to explore the beautiful Penang.

Working with Txell and Ignasi was great, they are both very friendly and social, and most and foremost they will help you out with anything and always with smile on their face. We highly encourage you to add them to your team if you ever have the occasion. Have fun on the rest of your travels guys and hopefully see you around!

The work is easy and entertaining. You'll have your schedule for a week and if you need any change they'll help you.

I had been a few days in Penang but it was definitely not the same. I dare say that the same applies to everyone who stayed at this hostel; it just changes your perception of everything.
It felt like home. The other volunteers were just amazing (in fact, they all ended up extending their stay, same as me ahah that's how good it is) and the hostel… read more

You want more sunshine in your life? Then add Alice to your team as it is exactly what she will bring along. It was absolutely lovely working with her and get to know her. Alice is a positive, dynamic and vibrant woman, and of course a great worker as well. You definitely don't want to miss the opportunity of working with her.

The hardest part of working here was finally leaving...I cannot recommend volunteering with Dave, Clem and co enough. Penang became my home away from home for a month and if I hadn't of already had plans to be somewhere else I could have easily stayed for aaaagessss.
