Description
Hi.
I'm Jessica and my hobby project at the moment is renovating a tiny house on the beautiful island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Life and work is keeping me a bit busy so I'm looking for someone that can help me make progress in the house while exploring this island. For this project you'd have to be DIY handy in and around the house but also be innovative to find solutions for unexpected challenges. I took over the project from someone else so there are some unknowns, and some unexpected things might pop up.
The tiny house is located in quiet the southern part of the island with a very nice modern gym, restaurants, and a 7/11 just around the corner. The popular Lamai area is a quick 10 minute drive away - so it would be necessary to rent a scooter.
I'd ideally like host someone wo can commit to be there for 2 months, from mid October to mid December. As this is the rainy season, It would be ideal for someone who wants to come for something other than the beach - for example, Muay Thai training etc. Also no problem if you want to go away for a week or so to explore around. Let's discuss about it !!

There are so many fun ways to connect with both the local and expat community too - I'd be glad to introduce you.
Help
Help me with home renovations. It is important for me to have someone there while I'm away. I do not want the place to stay entirely closed up especially during the rainiest months.
