    Description

    We have just finished renovating an abandoned hostel on the beach in M’pai bay, Cambodia and we are now going into our second season and are looking for some friendly and outgoing volunteers to help build up its reputation.
    M’pai bay is a small fishing village on Koh Rong sanleom with lots of character, you can see the bioluminescent plankton at night and there are plenty of long hikes if you love nature.

    Our names are Lauren and Hans and we are 25 & 27 year old, from England. We are both known for loving a good party but also enjoy having time to relax and appreciate the island.
    We are looking for volunteers that understand the balance between the two.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    During your stay on the island, you will learn to appreciate the smaller things in life. You will be meeting people from all over the world every day and socialising with them, helping you learn different languages and experience different cultures that you may not otherwise get to do. The village is very small and you are fully exposed to the typical Khmer lifestyle all the time. You will be spending lots of time with local families and you learn a lot about what it means to be from Cambodia.

    We are urgently seeking some artists to help us paint some murals around the hostel.

    We have now closed our doors for the season and we would love to give the place a well deserved splash of colour.

    It will be a super relaxed role, working a few hours a day in return for a private room and family meals.

    We will be looking for volunteers for the next three weeks. Please let us see examples of your artwork if you would like to be considered for the role
