Description

Javier: soy una persona que disfruta mucho de las cosas simples de la vida, comparte momentos, disfruta el instante y descubre nuevas aventuras y desafíos. Me despierta mucho interés y emoción el poder conocer nuevos lugares, personas y culturas.
Viajar para mi significa libertad, apertura mental y disfrute. Viajando descubro sensaciones y experiencias que no las encuentro en otro lado.
Mi propósito en la vida, si bien lo voy descubriendo día a día, creo que pasa por juntar todas las experiencias y aprendizajes posibles para poder ir creciendo como persona y como ser.

Vanesa: Amante de la vida, curiosa sin fin, vocación de servicio y apasionada de los viajes. Disfruto mucho de estar en contacto con la naturaleza y hacer actividad física, son mi conexión conmigo misma y recarga de energía.
Me divierte aprender cosas nuevas y diversas todo el tiempo, busco desafiarme e ir desarrollando distintas habilidades.
Mi propósito es descubrir mis dones y esencia para aplicarlos en alguna actividad al servicio de la comunidad, siento que sería muy gratificante.

What a great time at Donald's place to experience Sabah culture!!!

We stayed with Donald and Winnie's family homestay for a month. It was a wonderful, truly authentic experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent here with this two beautiful, kind and generous souls.

There are some guests who simply arrive, and then there are those who arrive and instantly feel like family. Vanesa and Javier are the latter. From the moment I picked them up at the airport on 22nd April, their warmth, smiles, and positive energy filled our homestay.

Was a great time staying at Joe's place for us, meant to be 2 weeks and then we extended for an extra week. Trully local experience, we felt fully immersed in Ipoh's Malaysian culture. Joe introduced us to so many customs, places, people and food. Taking us around Ipoh, going out for having lunch/dinner/ice cream trying different food, meeting his … read more friends and communities, teaching us to play Mahjong -also a friend of him came to the place specifically to teach us- were some of the fun things we had in this lovely experience.

Helping was around 3 hours doing mostly gardening and then some housekeeping. We could choose the time to do it and was always in a very relax mood, atmosphere and Boy's lovely company :) (his rescue dog). Joe was always ready and happy for showing and teaching us his gardening knowledge. Good and clear communication all the time which is not always easy to find.
Accomodation was good enough, a private room with bunker beds, desk -very useful for working-, fan and AC is also available and an attached bathroom for us.
Food was supposed to be not included but Joe, his siblings and his friends always brought something delicious and local to delight us, food, fruits, cakes...so kind people! There is also a full equiped kitchen that we were using too.

We had plenty of free time to go around, enjoy ourselves, share with others and playing Mahjong of course hehe! We enjoyed so much!!!

Just words of gratitude for this exchanging experience that we'll keep in our hearts forever and hoping see u again someday in Ipoh, Argentina or somewhere, who knows...

All the best dear Joe and enjoy yourself :):)
--
This was our third time with Joe, and we couldn't be more grateful that he welcomed us back with such kindness and hospitality. We helped out in his garden with tree pruning and mowing, but mostly we shared and had a lot of fun with him, his sister Rose, and their friends. They all took care of us and were always willing to show us new places and surprise us with new things or delight our taste buds with the delicious treats of Ipoh.
Oh, and we also continued learning with the legendary games of Mahjong with Joe at night to end the day, magnificent!
Going back to Joe's is almost like coming home, where you know you'll be welcomed with open arms and pampered.
We wholeheartedly recommend Joe's place, for the third time, to anyone looking for a genuine cultural exchange and mutual collaboration...And if mowing is your thing, even more so, Joe will be happy and grateful to have you.
Thank you, Joe, family, and friends, for all your dedication!!!

We spent a month with this beautiful community, a month that flew by, but it gave us the opportunity to get to know this project of love. We only have words of gratitude for each of the beautiful souls that inhabit it, it is an environment of peace and respect for all living beings. During the time there we learned a lot about permaculture and … read more what it is like to live in a community, where communication and flexibility are essential to achieve balance and be able to flow in coexistence.
The place is located in the small town of Seliana, surrounded by mountains and nature, a small but beautiful waterfall very close, a magical water source that you cannot miss and many hikes to do in the mountains. Half an hour by car from Akrata where we could enjoy the beach and jump into the sea, there is always someone coming or going, so you can get closer if you need to go there.

The work was always varied, taking care of the animals, picking seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs, watering the plants, composting, weeding, reconditioning plantation beds, cooking or helping in the kitchen, some maintenance work and general cleaning once a week all together. The tasks started after the 9 o'clock meeting, and we worked in 2 shifts, one longer in the morning until lunch time and then a shorter one in the afternoon, depending on the weather conditions, but we never felt the work is hard and we always received a lesson about the task to be developed.
About the meals, breakfast used to be before the morning meeting and we did it on our own, then lunch and dinner were almost always with the entire team. The food was delicious, varied and sooo fresh with the majority of ingredients produced and harvested naturally in the garden. Never hungry!!!
The free days were usually Sunday and Monday and we were exploring the area, hiking, going to the beach, or just relaxing and contemplating some of the corners of this paradise, surrounded by fruit trees and magical views.
We also had the opportunity to participate durgin our free time in the seminars that were going on or even change our shifts with others to be able to join it, there was always a very good willingness for volunteers to join in activities.

And we could continue talking more and more about this amazing experience but is much better experience it by yourself!!!

Flery, Debo, Kayil, Gaby, Mill, Joey, thank you very much for this time shared, which we have engraved in our hearts :)
Hoping to come back some day!
