Hi, I'm Ryan. I was living in Kelantan with my wife and 2 kids. Recently, We decided to move back our home town to start our new project by the Kelantan River. This is a new eco-project at our hometown to make our hometown more lively and hope could help the locals to be able to generate some extra earning by joining into the tourism activities by showcasing our culture to locals and foreigner.
We are planning this new project by building a new place with hostel, survival campsite, chalet, raft & food place in a small village by Kelantan River, Malaysia. I have two of my kids, 8 year old and 13 years old. Both of them are very use to meeting people from difference culture. We wish their life doesn't change much even moving back to a very quite and nature place.
It's best that if we can find someone who is skilled, friendly and with sense of responsibility to help our new project. Also, someone could play with my kids or teach other local about the world as well as their origin language.
My village is a house by Kelantan river, covered by nature, the nearest small town is about 10 minutes drive. You can get a local train and alight at Temangan train station, we could fetching you from there. It also about 1.5hour drive to Thailand Border, to Kuala Besut Jetty to Perhentian Island. People in my village are speaking local dialects, Thai, Malay and Chinese. Near our house, there is a Buddhism meditation center which just 10 minutes walk away. Prior to the hostel is build, you are welcome to stay in my home and we will cook you or we cook together nice local delights.

Our place is covered with nature, We can go on fishing trip on the river when our raft is ready. However, we do have a boat, which we could explore a bit using a traditional way.
