Description
Hi! By way of Introduction I am Suria, I design batik fabrics, a very busy solo entrepeneur. Batik is an ancient handcrafted dye resist technique.
I produce these fabrics for resort wear and sell them on my online store.
My Rainforest studio is located in Janda Baik, Pahang (where my dad's garage is). He's built a beautiful villa out in the Rainforest.
I myself live in a nice apartment in Kuala Lumpur and I am looking for Workawayers to help me with:
Modelling (priority), social media (instagram), photography, digital marketing, email campaigns, copywriting.
Thank you for reading and look forward to hearing from you : )

Accommodation
You will be based mainly at my lovely apartment in Kuala Lumpur and we will make a trip to my Rainforest studio where the family Airbnb is. It is beautiful out in the rainforest and you can even hear wild gibbons in the mornings!
What else ...
In Janda Baik, we have a motorcycle which you would be able to use (upon availability) to explore the surrounding areas during your free time! Things to do include jungle trekking to the waterfall, camping and barbeques. Attractions nearby include Genting highlands (casino and theme park), strawberry farm & horse riding. You're about 2.5 hours to the nearest beach at Cherating (they often host international surf competitions but only during the monsoon). You are also a 1.5 hour to the Elephant Sanctuary in Kuala Gandah. You are 1 hour drive to Jerantut which is the Jetty that takes you deep into the Taman Negara National Park by river. Kindly google these destinations to learn more about them.
