I'm very knowledgeable about computers and using technology.
I've worked at a Modern Art Museum in Belgium. There I helped clean exhibits, help in the kitchen, maintenance, and cleaning some of the rooms people could rent. It was a rewarding experience getting to meet people from all around the world and contributing in my own way.

I've worked at a eco-lodge in Morocco. There I helped with almost everything from bartending to setting tables and cleaning the rooms. The views were amazing and the people even more so.

Lastly, Ive worked at a hostel in Taiwan. Where I helped check guests in, clean rooms and prepare rooms, as well as clean common areas for our guests. Taiwans food was incredible :)

I've worked all kinds of jobs; I've delivered newspapers, I've been a line cook at a BBQ restaurant, I've cleaned houses and apartments, I've tutored high school kids, I've worked as a Deli Clerk, I've worked at department stores and grocery stores. I've volunteered to serve and prepare food for the less fortunate. I have volunteered at conferences and events.

Omar was such an easy going presence at the farm. He is able to talk with any body and fits in to any situation. He is a great and empathetic listener and was a fast friend to all here at the farm (especially the chickens, they miss you!).

Because he was here during the lockdown he spent a good, long 3 months of rice farming. He helped with land… read more

Although I am quite late with this review, When I was here I made friends for life. The community at the farm and around is heart warming. I will miss Jai, Lukmon, Ghazi, Spencer, Chikako, Captain, Kakak, all the chickens, bunnies, and animals. If you want an authentic experience of Malaysian life and family and people this is a great place to… read more

My awe and love for this man,

When he left I felt a deep sadness. I am honored to have met him and more honored that he considers me his friend.

If I stop and think of all the people he will meet, all the places along his way it gives me a deep joy.

It is in the shedding and becoming less, not more.

I was searching, but here I found. I was meant to be here. Meant to have discussions that challenged a lot of things I believed. What I have found and learned while with Hector & Christina has given me ideas to make my own. Although I couldn't stay as long as I wanted due to my allergies, I believe still that in my journey a path always lead to… read more

Catherine and her son Daniel are very kind and hospitable people. The work was mostly just doing gardening working and cleaning the house, for the most part its pretty chill like… read more

Omar is a great person and a true friend! Very friendly with the staff and all the guests, he always helped us all the time. Literally, even at 03am when we had an unexpected booking he helped the guests to get everything they needed so they could sleep well :) . I wish you all the best BroAmigOmar! Have a great one and see you soon in NZ!

Coming here to the Hostel was one of the best decisions I could have made for my trip. I made so many friends and memories. Jonathan and Matt are super chill and cool people who have a beautiful dream to have people from all over the world enjoy their hostel. The work was pretty straight forward, cleaning rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and showers.… read more

Omar is a very sweet and lovely person, but most of all, an amazing friend that we all had the chance to have around the house. Always in a good mood and up to the tasks, he sure left a blank after spending a few weeks volunteering with us. Great conversations and good times, that's how I would resume best the impression he left with us. I would… read more

I loved my time here! Jonathan, Simon, MC, and everyone else made it a really enjoyable and fun time. I especially enjoyed the woofer night dinners and board games. Everyone is really nice! The work was mostly just cleaning the cabins(changing bed sheets, moping, sweeping, general cleaning). The apartment me and the other workawayers stayed in was… read more
