Description

Hello!
My name is Pauline. I grew up in Malaysia and had a great time experiencing the mix of both East-West cultures. I enjoyed both Hollywood and Bollywood and all the other cultures from South-East Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. I am Chinese by ethnicity but grew up in a wonderfully tri-lingual and mixed-race (Chinese/Indian/Malay) society in Malaysia.

I am a 60 yo semi-retired medical interpreter (English-Mandarin). I love my job as I not only get to provide language help, but I feel I can provide a sense of comfort and safety for my LEP patients, and most of them are elderly patients.

I love Nature the most and I love everything related to our beautiful planet Earth. I’m interested to work in farming, gardening, childcare, house chores, pet sitting —oh yes I am a big time doggie lover!! :)) I would love to learn any new skills.

My biggest joy with workaway was getting to know all the hosts and workawayers!! They are all incredibly kind-hearted, open-minded, fun-loving, nature-loving, talented people! I love the balance of spending wonderful time with hosts and workawayers, helping the hosts with different kinds of work, and having some free time to explore the local surroundings. I also love all the cultural sharing of our different life experiences, including all the delicious local foods made by host families! And I would love to share some Malaysian Chinese cooking with you! :-))

Thank you from all my heart!

Pauline

Anna and Fabrizio are the kindest souls! They welcomed us into their home and made sure that we are comfortable with the work and was very flexible with the work schedule. We had a good time working with them at both the Trento and Tenno vineyards. Trento is a little paradise tucked away near the mountains. From Tenno vineyard, at evening … read more

I am truly and deeply grateful to have met Sitara during my stay in Sedona. I've learned so much from Sitara and inspired by her essence being with her through work, hiking, dinner conversations, out in the community with music and dancing, relaxing at the creek --- Sitara lives her life in Truth and embodies freedom, kindness, generosity and … read more

Poh is a great worker and wonderful person. Always interesting to talk to she made great friends here. We asked her to rake some leaves and boy did she rake - the forest has never looked so good. Highly recommended.
