Ferdaus is a lovely young lady. She is so very polite and gentle, always willing to help in anyway.
I did not have time to explain all the house rules but she fitted in seamlessly. She is also so easy to feed as she loves Malaysian local food and easy to please.
She will no doubt be a great help to any host.

Volunteering at Selena’s place was a wonderful experience for me. Her dogs were lovely, and my interactions with her, her father, her friends, her family, and of course the dogs were truly fantastic. There were usually many people in the house, which made it a happy, open home. Not only did I have many amazing conversations, but I also genuinely

Ania has a beautiful personality in addition to her lovely looks. She not only looked after my naughty furbabies, she helped keeping my father company while I was having a small procedure in hospital. She cooked a fabulous polish meal for us all, yum yum.

I had a wonderful time with Selena, her father, and their two lovely dogs, Hachiko and Megumi.
Selena welcomed me so warmly and made me feel completely part of the family. I got to try lots of delicious local food, we went to the market together, and I had the chance to explore her neighborhood.

Luisa was here for a week . She has a lovely personality, calm and considerate. She was very good with my naughty furbabies. We took them to a fancy dress event and although it was challenging Luisa coped very well. She is also sociable and at a local lantern event joined in the festivities and was popular with the community.

Debbie is DELIGHTFUL! There is no 'settling in', it is like having a friend I have not seen for a while. We had great conversations and lots of laughs . And she is SO easy going with everything, did not complain having to eat chicken nuggets few days in a row! Very adept at handling my spoilt furbabies, couldn't have asked for more.

I truly could not have asked for a better first Workaway experience! Selena and her friends are the loveliest, most generous people ever, I felt immediately welcomed and cared for. Over the three weeks I spent there I truly felt like I was part of the family and had so many great laughs with Selena, I'll cherish this experience for a long time.

Selena is super sweet and I felt welcome from the very first moment. She even helped me fix my phone, and I got to hang out with her friends for a coffee and go out for dinner with her and her cousin. She literally bought me almost every tropical fruit so I could try them all – it was amazing! :)

Staying with Selena and her family was truly one of the highlights of my entire trip. She and her whole family are the embodiment of kindness, warmth, and generosity. And then there’s Hachiko and Gumi – the real hosts – who will greet you every single day with a wagging tail and… a left slipper. Always the left one.

Although her father is 97 years old, he is very energetic. Selena is from a Chinese family, but she has lived in the UK for 20 years, so her English is also very good.
