It was such a joy meeting with and helping out Michael. I felt a great balance of being both engaged with weekly tasks and trusted with the independence to get them done, then being able to spend my time getting to know the surrounding neighborhood and city and/or rest. Michael was also very easy to talk to, communicate with, and get along with.

Keidai is a respefcul, clean, and amicable person! He was very understanding of my chaotic schedule and willing to help me out! He was willing to help with walking my dog, house chores, and other maintenance!
He seems to know a lot of languages and his fervor in animation and cultures (and dogs like mine haha) is amazing too. I highly recommend

I stayed with Michael this past weekend. He is very friendly and his apartment is located in such a convenient neighborhood. Michael is considered and mindful of your needs.

I bet anyone who'd stay with Michael will love Whiskey so much.

Izaiah exudes the Workaway spirit with his goodwill and wholehearted personality. He is by far one of the sweetest and hardworking people I have ever met - I am not exaggerating! Extremely spiritual and a soul that radiates optimism and kindness.

In a personal level, we hit it off immediately as we skimmed through the banal introduction and shared affectionate laughter when discussing our experiences in life. We managed to do many activities during his stay: eating delicious meals (homemade and dining out), watching America's Got Talent, visiting many parks to watch sunsets, and him embracing/enduring my friends' shenanigans as we roam the city haha!
Honestly, Izaiah's wholehearted personality is quite salubrious as his amiability and zeal for camaraderie will endear your heart and with warmth and tranquility. I truly feel honored to host Izaiah and feel I've gained a new friend in my life -- he will always be welcomed back to NYC!
Izaiah, thank you for blessing me with your presence and time, and please do not ever change who you are because the world truly needs individuals like you. Until next time!

Micheal is such a beautiful kind hearted individual. I stayed with him for two weeks and did he make my time in Newyork special. He’s the best tour guide showed me all the best New York has to offer.

Very easy work that took me about 1-2 hours I slept on this couch which is very comfortable. He respects if you have other things to do and doesn’t pressure you to hangout with him. But I suggest hanging out with him providing beautiful experiences, He’s very funny and very knowledgeable about the world, learning so much from him and his story’s of his travels. I will cherish the time I shared with him forever and I know I made a lifelong friend as well. THANK YOU Michael for everything!!!
