Description
Hello and thank you for being interested in reading our profile!! We are a family of five with 4 dogs living in Kowloon City, a neighborhood near the old airport in Hong Kong.

Leave behind the crowd and see yourself in a quiet part of this city with unique urban landscape, great food and culture just around the corners. We appreciate to you with us and in turn there would be chances that we will go visit your home someday as well, life is just full of surprises and amazing wonders!

Hope you will enjoy the moments together and be grateful of the fact that we can meet at this certain point in life :)

And our family... my dad Kent, mom Win, my wife Carina, younger sister Miu and I am Franco :)
Type of help
General Maintenance
Cooking / shopping
Help in the house
Animal care
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Situated near the old Kai Tak airport, planes used to fly just above Kowloon City. You will find old buildings which are only 5 to 6 floors high in this area which is quite different from the rest of urban Hong Kong. But redevelopment are rapidly reshaping this old district and high-rise buildings are sprouting up everywhere.
Help
The dogs love our guests who come to stay! Help us bring them out for a couple walks once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. House help and cooking are also much appreciated :)
Languages spoken
English, Cantonese, Mandarin
Accommodation

A little late but HUGE thank you to all of you!! It actually feels like writing in a guestbook, which makes it quite special! This has been the most authentic workaway experience I have ever been part of - so hongkong, so worldopen, so honestly interested people! They will just let you be part of their lifestyle, a part of their family.

I can only reiterate what already has been said. This family is the best; not only the best in Hong Kong!
I was very lucky to get the chance staying with the Wongs!

I was taken for breakfast to spots I'd never have gone to as a "normal tourist" and we had great talks over delicious dinner! Win explained me that she wants Workawayers to enjoy… read more

This was my first workaway experience and the Wongs have set such a high standard! I had an amazing trip and saw a side of Hong Kong I doubt I otherwise would have. The entire family is a pleasure from taking me to locations around Kowloon, on Lantau, to the night fruit market, and all the learning/conversations in between. I could not recommend… read more

We lived one of the two best weeks of our trip. We are infinitely grateful for the welcome from this family. Our hostess was the daughter of the family, the wonderful Miu. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy Hong Kong food (she guided us to the best local food restaurants and spoiled us with one of our favorite ingredients: ginger). We also had… read more

I think we can just follow what Seb said ... the Wong's are the most wonderful family we could meet!
We only stayed for a week in Hong Kong but wished to return. Not just for the place, but for the family. We were super well received, we felt at home from the first moment. It's not just volunteer work, they made us feel loved, really.

I stayed with my teenage daughter in the home of Win and Kent in February for one week. The dog park where the dogs are taken twice a day is not far (me and my daughter, we took 2-3 dogs each, so together we could handle all the dogs without problems, they are friendly !) The nearest MTR station is also easy to walk to. I am glad we came to stay… read more

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how amazing this family is. I came here initially for a few weeks but have now stayed here 6 weeks and one thing has lead to another and I am now moving to Hong Kong to work lol This doesnt feel like a workaway it feels like your part of an amazing family and spending Chinese new year… read more
