  Description

  We live in one of the most picturesque corners of Penang Island. Our quiet apartment is surrounded by lush jungle views, with the distant calls of dusky leaf monkeys drifting through the air. Just nearby is a local beach that truly comes alive in the evenings, with vibrant markets, yummy Malay food, it really offers a glimpse into the rhythm of Malaysian life.
  There’s a large swimming pool perfect for relaxing with a good book, unwinding, and enjoying some peaceful time to yourself. This is a home made for calm, comfort, and connection with nature.
  My husband and I love our home deeply, and we hope you’ll feel just as at home here as we do.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We value meaningful cultural exchange so would love to share insights into life on Penang Island, including local places, favourite food spots, nearby beaches, jungle walks, and how to get around like a local. Happy to share knowledge around sustainable living, including how to care for an eco compost system with African night crawler worms, eat plant based food, as well as tips for tropical plant care and maintaining a calm, organised home.
  We’ve created a peaceful space that’s perfect for practising yoga and meditation, and we hope Workawayers will enjoy using it as a place to slow down, reflect, and recharge. In return, we are well travelled people who have volunteered all over the world so we love learning from people of different cultures. Sharing stories and experiences, exchanging ideas about simple living, sustainability, and connecting us with new places.

  Aide

  The responsibilities are simple and manageable, with our main priorities being caring for our plants, looking after our compost worms, and keeping the apartment clean and well maintained.
  This is an independent house-sitting opportunity, ideal for someone who is responsible and comfortable managing things on their own. You’ll have plenty of time and space to enjoy the home, the pool, and the peaceful natural surroundings. While we won’t be doing tasks together, but we may like to meet you before, we’re always happy to share guidance, local tips, and anything you need to feel confident and settled during your stay.

  Autres infos...

  We live a fully plant-based lifestyle and kindly ask that no meat, fish, or other animal products be brought into or cooked in our home. This is important to us for ethical reasons, and it also helps keep the apartment smelling fresh and clean.
  
  You are of course free to eat whatever you like when dining out — we simply ask that our home remains a plant-based space. Thank you for understanding and respecting the way we live.
