Marty stay with us 1 week. His good education, life experience, sincere interest in culture, and desire to help us have helped us to find common ground, exchange knowledge, and do many good things in our household. Marty is very careful in his work, always does everything very well, is punctual, and finishes the work to the result. I am very… read more

I spent 10 days at this hosts home in July, The work aspect was ok, basically weeding, gardening and picking up dog poop , and no more than 2 hours each day, the accomodation is a nice seperate room in the house, but no aircon, which could be an issue during high humidity periods. She has 8 dogs and 10 cats, but apart from petting them, there is… read more very little interaction with them, as the host carries out all the duties in regard to the animals.

Unfortunately my stay and holiday was ruined by the hosts unreasonable, belittling and controlling personality and I felt like I was treading on eggshells all the time I was in her company. Like I mentioned she is very very controlling, which she even admitted to. I have carried out many volunteering work jobs before over a thirty year period, through Workaway, WWOOFING and independant organizations and have never been bullied or disrespected as much by host!

Though I carried out the work that was required without complaint and did a good job, I was still criticized and insulted on a daily basis. She doesn't respect your privacy, and everyday would find an excuse to enter my room to alter the direction of my fan or some other thing. In regard to being criticized these are some examples... criticized for putting butter on my bread roll! The scent of my deodorant was too strong!! That I didn't have a good enough relationship with her dogs, which was totally untrue, as they would wait outside my door every morning waiting to greet me when I woke up, and would allow me to pick them up and put them on my lap to stroke them.

Behaviour which goes against her purported love of animals was when she stole a kitten from the next door neighbour, and just introduced it to her 8 dogs in her garden without supervising it,the dogs acted as a pack and attacked the kitten, I heard what was going on, and rescued the kitten from the jaws of a pit bull cross! and in doing so was bitten on the hand by the kitten in the process.

She insulted me and called me fat on two occasions and whimpy, and when I went with her to the indoor food market to help her bring back food, she referred to me as her slave and donkey to the fruit seller, then asked me " is it ok if I call you slave " !!

She apologized once for calling me fat, saying I know it's not PC to say things like that! It shouldn't be ok to ever insult and degrade someone in any situation. This is my honest and unfortunate experience of my stay at this hosts home.

I would highly recommend the meditation centre, You will join like minded souls, who have a passion to help people less fortunate than themselves, it's a great experience and can be challenging at times, but also very rewarding. There are many types of voluntary activities you can get involved in, and you may also have the opportunity to go on a… read more

Staying with Minjin and her family is a very good way to ease yourself into Mongolian life. They are very relaxed, friendly and easy going ,which makes you feel at home, and they allow you to become part of the family. Thank you for letting me stay with you and good luck with your business venture.
