**Looking for a housesitter from June - September included**
=============
Are you searching for a beach break?? Looking for some chill time with furry friends?? Look no further!
We are planning a trip back to Europe this summer and looking for someone (can be someone alone, a couple or 2 friends) to lend a hand with a couple of different tasks. We would like you to stay in our house and take care of our 2 low maintenance dogs and 1 cuddly cat, as well as lend an occasional hand on the beach in our watersports centre.
If you think you could be the person we are looking for for this special mission, please let us know! I can share more info, pics and detailsTypes of help and learning opportunities

As you will be living in the heart of a real Vietnamese village, you will quickly get to see the differences between Vietnamese life and Western life! The villagers are very warm and welcoming, and we have had helpers make some really good Vietnamese friends while staying with us.
Mui Ne is small, neighbourly and multi cultural, it's a great place to meet people from all over the world, and a great place to learn real Vietnamese life. There are Vietnamese language classes run in the village, and you can really learn about Vietnams ancient and diverse history as well by visiting historic sites in the area.
You can learn watersports - surf and SUP and have a chance to learn to kitesurf or wingfoil, if you are interested.Help
Your main responsibility would be to hang out with Orbit and Gremlin, the dogs, and Penny the cat. They are all very chill, easygoing and friendly. You'll be best friends in 5 minutes :) Our house is a typical Vietnamese house, in a small quiet neighborhood near many bars and restaurants. We have 2 bedrooms with AC (one of these is set up as an office, but can easily be a bedroom again), a living room, bathroom and kitchen, as well as a small enclosed garden. The house has all furniture and appliances, as well as super-fast wifi. All bills and rent paid, of course! We also include one scooter for getting around.
Our watersports centre, will be operating but will be pretty quiet. We have a manager in place, and a couple of instructors, in case of kitesurf, surf or wingfoil lessons. It would be great if you could help out a little bit there when needed - on a busy day the team will need help with reception, or the manager might need you to help him carry equipment to a location...this kind of thing. Nothing too major, and nothing too busy. You can use surf and SUP equipment for free from the school.

What else ...
Mui Ne is the best place in Asia to learn to kite surf and windsurf, and it has really consistent wind from October to March. There are also a couple of nice surf spots, and some really fabulous SUP locations eg in the famous Mui Ne harbour.
There are plenty of places to go and things to see on your down time, loads of fabulous street food options, beaches, temples, and there's even a cinema in Phan Thiet (20mins away) that shows english movies if you're feeling really homesick ;)
Transport here is mainly by scooter or bicycle. There is also a local bus service and plenty of taxis availableA little more information
