    Beschreibung

    Hey there, I'm AK, a global leadership coach and faith mentor. I’ve spent 10+ years working with changemakers across Asia, Africa, and North America, helping them build resilience and avoid burnout. Having burnt out myself (ironic, I know 🤦🏾‍♀️), I’m now in a phase of life where I’ve slowed things down quite a bit. I’m focused on building courageous spaces of authenticity and depth to support myself and others on our holistic health and healing journeys.

    I recently relocated to the island of Phuket to aid my transition into the slow life, and I’m LOVING it on many levels. However, I also realized how much I still feel in over my head, juggling a lot while maintaining a big house alone.

    Although I’ve recently closed my consulting company and paused work to pursue a doctoral program—where I’m exploring how faith can serve as a foundation for healing, reconciliation, and collective liberation—I want to develop an online presence to share my voice and story in a way that supports others and nurtures meaningful community. I also want to build my home into a safe haven for people to connect.

    WHAT IM LOOKING FOR:
    I’m inviting Workawayers to stay on a week-by-week basis, with each guest taking on a specific project that can be completed in a week, working approximately 3 hours per day. These projects will likely fall into one of two categories:

    1. Home Improvement & Maintenance
    - Deep cleaning & organization
    - DIY garden projects
    - Furniture refurbishing
    - General housework

    2. Technical & Creative Support
    - Content creation (writing, video editing, digital storytelling)
    - Operational tech support (workflow automations, email marketing setup, listserv management)

    If you have a technical/creative background and would like to contribute in that way, I’ll ask you to share:
    - More specifics about your skill set
    - Samples of your work to give me an idea of your style/abilities
    - Projects you’d love to co-create and what could be possible within a 1- or 2-week stay

    If it feels aligned, we’ll confirm a project and lock in your dates.

    If you're coming to support with Home Improvement & Maintenance, I’ll provide a list of projects for you to be responsible for. If you happen to have a specific skill in Home Improvement such as carpentry or painting, let me know, and we can explore a more creative home improvement project together.

    I also welcome additional exchange ideas—for example, if you're a personal trainer or chef and want to contribute your gifts in that way, feel free to reach out! We can craft a schedule where you mix in support focused on training/cooking/whatever your skills are, addition to some of the home improvemnt & maintenance pieces.

    THE SPACE:
    I live in a one-level house with 3 bedrooms, 4 baths, and spacious living, dining, and outdoor areas.
    Depending on the number of projects I need support with at a given time, Workawayers will either have their own bedroom with an ensuite bathroom or share a room with one other person. The room has a king-size bed, desk, fan, and TV (with Roku).
    If the room is shared, a full-size bed will be added, and we’ll discuss whether the room will be private or shared before confirming. If you’re traveling with a friend and want to share the room together, that’s also possible. All linens are provided. There’s a washer available, and the house has high-speed internet.

    THE AREA:
    The house is in a quiet part of Chalong, in southern Phuket, about an hour from the international airport. We are:
    10-minute walk to the water
    10-minute bike ride to Robinsons Chalong, a new mall with a theatre
    Close to Soi Ta-iad, famously known as "Muay Thai Street," lined with gyms, eateries, and wellness centers

    TRANSPORTATION:
    Public transportation on the island is limited. Most people rent motorbikes (which I can help you secure). I also have a bicycle available for use, and I’m open to adventuring together to explore more of the island!

    HOUSE NORMS & AGREEMENTS:
    We may be a great fit if you align with the following:

    Dry Home – No smoking, drugs, or alcohol inside or on the premises.
    Vegan Household – You’re welcome to eat as you wish outside the home, but inside, only plant-based meals.
    Safe Space – A home where people are accepted as they are and engage from a place of love, curiosity, and cultural humility.
    Equity & Healing – A space that believes in healing people, healing people, then creating systems and structures that heal people.
    Sacred Space – God is at the center of all I do. I accept and welcome ALL people, regardless of background, though I do expect guests to be deeply connected to something greater than themselves.
    Clean & Respectful Environment – Everyone is expected to clean up after themselves and keep shared spaces tidy.

    🚫 No house guests are allowed.
    🚫 If you plan to party during your time in Phuket, this is probably not the best fit for you.
    ✅ Preference is given to fluent English speakers with a can-do attitude who don’t see any task as too small or menial.

    NEXT STEPS:
    If you’re interested, please reach out with the following:

    ✅ Your name, age, and pronouns
    ✅ Where you're from
    ✅ Your English proficiency
    ✅ A bit about who you are, your core values, and personal hopes/dreams
    ✅ Your preferred length of stay and travel dates
    ✅ If applying with a friend, their info as well
    ✅ The area of support you're interested in (Home Improvement OR Creative/Tech Support OR something else) and any specific projects that excite you
    ✅ Your specific skill sets/abilities, tools/platforms you’re experienced with, and links to samples (if applicable)
    ✅ What you hope to give and get from this exchange

    📌 Important: If you do not provide the requested details, you will not be considered. This ensures I connect with people who are intentional and thoughtful about this opportunity.

    Looking forward to welcoming like-hearted travelers into my home! Sending love and light. ✨

    PS: A Special Opportunity! If you stumbled upon this post earlier and noticed changes, that’s because I’ve updated it based on what I’ve learned regarding the typical Workawayers needs as well as mine. While I am still seeking someone for a longer stay, I’ll be posting a seperate outline for that on other platforms designed for people with the specific skillsets I desire and who are looking for a more structured stay. That said, if you're a woman of faith skilled in email marketing and automations and are open to a 3-month exchange that includes personal mentorship and coaching while gaining hands-on experience to build your portfolio, please let me know! I’ll send you a separate document with more details.

Whether it's a new approach to storytelling, a fresh perspective on healing and faith, or simply the beauty of sharing space with someone from a different walk of life—I’m excited for what we’ll learn from each other.

    OPTION 1: Creative Digital Storyteller & Content Creator (Filming, Editing, Strategy)
    I’m looking for a creative digital storyteller & tech-savvy content creator (whether you're experienced or just starting out) who loves turning ideas into engaging stories. If you enjoy crafting structured narratives from messy concepts, filming and editing lifestyle vlogs, and creating content that resonates deeply with human experience, this could be a great fit!

    Ideal Traits:
    ✔️ You enjoy self-inquiry, travel, and cross-cultural exchange
    ✔️ You’re excited about leadership development, faith, and personal growth
    ✔️ You’re comfortable with video creation, content strategy, or digital storytelling (or eager to learn!)
    ✔️ You appreciate deep conversations that go beyond small talk

    What to Expect:
    📅 We’ll collaborate on a set filming & content schedule (we can decide together).
    ⏳ Independent work will be flexible, as long as we agree on deadlines.
    🎥 If you're passionate about integrating local travel into our content strategy, I’d love to explore planning some trips where I cover the costs while we create meaningful content.

    Ultimately, I want this to be a fun, enriching experience for you—so if deep reflection, creative storytelling, and exploring big ideas aren’t your thing, this may not be the best fit. But if you’re excited to co-create content that inspires, challenges, and connects people to something greater—let’s do this! 😊

    OPTION 2: Home & DIY Support – Organizing, Light Repairs & Creative Projects
    I’m looking for someone who enjoys bringing order, creativity, and care into a home environment. If you love organizing, tackling small DIY projects, or even bringing a creative touch to home spaces, this could be a perfect fit!

    Ideal Traits:
    ✔️ You enjoy hands-on work like organizing, tidying, and light home projects
    ✔️ You have a knack for DIY fixes, home improvement, or decluttering
    ✔️ You take initiative and like seeing a space come to life through your efforts
    ✔️ You're happy to contribute in a practical way while also engaging in meaningful cultural exchange

    What to Expect:
    🏡 Tasks may include tidying, organizing, decluttering, or helping with home projects
    🔧 If you're handy, I’d love support with small DIY fixes and home improvements
    🎨 If you're creative, feel free to add your touch—maybe designing a cozy corner or reimagining a space!

    If you're someone who finds joy in creating a peaceful, well-organized home environment, and arent afraid of gettng your hands dirty then this would be a great opportunity.
