  Description

  🌿 Come Join Us in Ba Vi: Experience Authentic Vietnam ! 🌿
  Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of city life? Do you crave a genuine connection with nature and culture? Well, you're in luck! My partner, Eric, and I welcome you to our humble multicultural abode in the serene hills of Ba Vi, just a scenic 30-minute drive from Hanoi.
  About Us:
  Eric and I, along with our five playful German Shepherds, have traded the chaos of city living for the tranquility of Ba Vi. While we run a business in Hanoi, our hearts truly belong to the countryside. We are looking for help with running this house/ greenhouse
  We have so far designed and built a Koi Pond an Aviary a greenhouse and a farmland (that we have leased next door) and aeroponic towers. We love DIY projects and are always on the lookout for more like minded people. Ba Vi is a popular local tourism destination which is an off track for International tourists. Ba VI gives you an experience of how local farmers actually live without an economy fueled by international tourism. It can give you a more localized understanding of Local Vietnam.
  What We Offer:
  * A warm welcome to volunteers from all corners of the globe.
  * Our support with travel advice
  * Opportunities to visit enchanting waterfalls tucked away in the lush forests in and around Ba Vi.
  * An immersive experience in Vietnamese culture which is generally the way of the locals.
  * Accommodation in a cozy private bedroom.
  * Fresh Food (3 times a day) with your assistance. We cook multi cuisine and would love to learn more cuisines and your food knowledge would be helpful.
  * When we say Fresh Food we actually mean FRESH from farms nearby. We try to buy locally to support the local farmers.
  How You Can Help:
  * Reinvigorate our aviary/garden spaces and the farm with vibrant plants.
  * Bond with our furry friends as you play and care for our German Shepherds.
  * Assist with seeding seasonal vegetables and reap the rewards of your hard work.
  * Engage in various maintenance tasks around our house, garden, farm and greenhouse.
  Why Volunteer With Us:
  Beyond the breathtaking scenery and meaningful work, volunteering with us offers a chance to forge connections with like-minded individuals who prioritize sustainability and cultural exchange. Whether you're a green thumb, an animal lover, or simply eager to lend a helping hand, there's a place for you in our vibrant community.
  Join the Adventure:
  If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey filled with discovery, laughter, and purpose, reach out to us today. Together, let's make memories, make a difference, and make Ba Vi our home away from home.
  Contact us to learn more and reserve your spot in our haven of tranquility. 🌟
  
  Requirements for Work:
  * We do not have active work at all hours generally we like to see what workawayers are most interested in and see where they can fit in. Generally not more than 5 Hours. Since language is a barrier we will support with local sight seeing. We do have a couple of bikes that you can use.

  Help

  General maintenace / gardening tasks. We have so many things to do at the house you can tell us what interests you the most and you can aid us with that activity. generally on an everyday basis we do some gardening work. we do not expect people to have experience on this we are always happy to teach. We are experienced but both of us are drained since we do run a business in the city. We generally have maids who already take care of cleaning inside the house and generally the cleaning part is not a big issue. It is the parts of our DIY prohjects that we need help with. Currently we are trying to implement a way to farm vegetables using plastic bottles. We are bioth well versed with Hydrophonic and aeroponis systems. We have around 12 fruiting trees and surrounded by hills.

  What else ...

The place is perfect distance from the city which taken around 30minutes by car/bus and we could help in arranging transport for the same. There are multiple waterfalls in and around the area where the water is untouched and stays clear and locally renowned to have health benefits. These mountains are the first set of mountains that are closest to the Main parts of Hanoi. It is off track from most touristics areas for international tourists.
