Description
I have exciting Hostel in the heart of Georgetown, Penang right now.
Our goal is to have a social hostel where people can meet, connect and make new friends.
I already have a lot of experience in the hospitality industry, but as I don't have enough capacity to do all the things myself, I need some helping hands to get everything ready and up and running smooth.
On a long term basis we would love to have several permanent staff to take over all the cleaning and maintenance, so the volunteers can contribute to create a great environment and exceptional services to guest at our hostel, but also we still need some help with all kinds of things here and there as well.Types of help and learning opportunities
