Description
After hearing about Workaway from fellow backpackers I thought it sounded like a great way to make the most of my travels! The experiences I've had so far have been so enriching... getting to know the people and their places is just the best.
I love to learn about anything and everything. I work hard, but I am a relaxed person, friends often tell me I am a calming presence and have logical ideas. I take each day as it comes.
At my happiest spending time in nature, exploring new places and getting to know new people (and animals!)

I left the UK in November 2019 so have been finding my way for a while now.

What a wonderful experience I had here with such wonderful people! Nick and Arana are making their dreams come true and have so many gorgeous ideas and plans. It was so fun to be a part of it at such an exciting stage and try a whole new bunch of stuff! Helped out with fencing, fencing, fencing, removing rocks, laying floorboards, painting,… read more

It feels kind of odd writing a feedback for Mel because she really feels like family! I'm not even sure how long she stayed with us as her travel plans were interrupted by COVID border restrictions so she stayed around longer than planned, but however long it was it wasn't long enough. She helped us out with so many things from fencing, to cob… read more

Mel was great! In fact, more than great. We leave a lot of responsibility to the volunteers and Mel stepped up to be responsible for everything going in the right direction. Always keen to lead the bike night market tours. Fantastic handling guests always with a smile attached. It was a pleasure to have her here and hope that she will come back. I… read more

My time as a volunteer here was great! Everyone is very welcoming and makes sure everything is good for you.
Volunteers have a lot of responsibility here which is nice. Not only running reception but organising activities and leading bike tours, so there is always something to do and guests to get to know.
Melaka is a lovely place to get to know… read more

Melanie are very hard working people. She are easy going, mature and very responsible. We were very surprised that they do everything in a very professional way.

I had such a great experience here as my first Workaway, I stayed 3 weeks and got to learn so much about the area and runnings of a hostel. The permanent staff are so kind, informative and good fun, I felt at home. As more volunteers joined the atmosphere got even better as there were more responsibilities to fill. I was lucky to spend Christmas… read more
