Delilah is a favourite in Paradesa's TripAdvisor reviews, welcoming guests with warmth and humour. She has been guiding since 2018 and loves every day of her work.

- Q: What is your favourite trip to do and why?
- A: Longhouse trips! As a member of the tribe myself, I’m able to share and show the ways of my people in depth. Guests get to see the real deal: how they eat, how they live, how they work, their beliefs. It’s a firsthand experience.
- Q: What are guests most surprised about when visiting Borneo?
- A: Very friendly locals who always say hello even if you are a complete stranger. That, and how fluent the locals are in English! Also, the fact that Kuching is so clean, even with all that urban hustle and bustle going on.
- Q: What has your most unforgettable experience while guiding been?
- A: Taking care of an 80+ year old rider on one of our 14-day cycling holidays. The routes are challenging, and he finished the whole thing without faltering. I have such great respect for that man.
