Description

We're looking for reliable volunteers available from end of October - the 24th of October the latest.
===========
A little lost paradise in south Cambodia needs your help!
We are situated on Pak Klang beach in Koh Kong province, just 8 km away from the border with Thailand.
From March 2020 my husband (Thibault )and I (Marija)made our dream come true by opening a small guesthouse with a few beach huts and a bar / restaurant on the beach itself. . Our goal is to make our guests feel like home, and since we live on the land as well we like to make everyone feel as part of the family. We try to be innovative and always bring new ideas to the project, and we are very open to new ideas from a different perspective such as yours!
The neighborhood is peaceful; you will be surrounded by mostly small restaurants owned by very lovely locals.
There is a local fisherman village and market just 10 min bike ride away from us. We are 10km away from the city and it is reachable by scooter that you can easily rent from somebody for cheap.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Take this chance to get to learn more about the Khmer culture by living among the locals. There is a lot to learn from their history and their life philosophy. Personally, that changed the way we see life. The Khmer are the warmest people I have met. Here you will get to meet a lot of travelers too; all having a unique story to share, and an opportunity for a lot of friendships to be made. We love learning languages too, we speak English, French, Macedonian, Croatian, Bulgarian and a bit of Spanish so if you speak or wish to learn any of these languages it would be a pleasure to exchange knowledge. In addition to that we like to do DIY projects to create anything from decorative objects to chairs and tables, so if you are feeling crafty it would be lot of fun. By helping us you would learn about business management as well. We would love to find a way to help the community as much as possible therefor any help will be greatly appreciated by the locals too.
Help
Hey lovely travellers of the world!
Are you looking for a unique opportunity to experience the quiet beauty of Cambodia's coast ? Our cosy bed and breakfast beach resort in Koh Kong, Cambodia is seeking volunteer(s) to give us a hand.
We have slowly started reopening the resort, welcoming the first guests of the season - renting out our bungalows only (the bar and the restaurant will be re-opened later on).
We plan to reopen fully the resort from November. For that we need assistance to help prepare everything for the reopening, clean the land, reorganise kitchen,storage etc, we plan to do a Halloween party so prepare for that as well, social media,decoration,logistics...
Usually we require 5h of help ,, 5 days a week in exchange for one meal per day during '''working'' days, and accommodation.
You will have a room in an apartment that we rent in the village nearby just 1km from our resort. We usually give priority to pairs because otherwise you would need to share the room with one more person.
You will have access to our bicycles to move around, and it is also walkable distance.
We also have a few furry and feathered friends on site, including two friendly dogs, a cat, and even two pet chickens! We do not need help with them but you can enjoy the presence of our lovely animals.
It's currently the rainy season here in Koh Kong, which means the weather can be quite unpredictable. We might have heavy rain, beautiful sunny days, or even a mix of both in one day! It's all part of the tropical charm and unique atmosphere, so it's best to be prepared for it all and embrace the natural beauty. The rainy season is expected to end in the end of October.
END OF OCTOBER TO MAY
This is high season for us so we will need assistance to our staff for the day to day activities of running the resort.
You won't be expected to take on a paid staff member's role but instead will work alongside them to help things run smoothly.
We're not just a business; we're a home, and we invite you to be a part of it. We're looking for enthusiastic people to join us and share in the experience of running our place. You will assist us and our small team with light duties that make a big difference in our daily lives. This is about working together, not working for us.
A few ways you can help:
Working with guests: Welcoming new arrivals, making them feel at home, and engaging with them to share stories and a good time.
Kitchen teamwork: Assisting with meal prep for the staff/volunteer meals - sometimes the meals are ordered from the local restaurant and sometimes we cook them.
Property tidying: Keeping the public spaces clean and inviting for everyone.
Caring for our garden: Pitching in with the small-scale gardening tasks that keep our property looking beautiful.
Social media help: You like creating photos and videos of your travels? We could always use a helping hand with our social media and love to hear creative minds and ideas!
Everything is negotiable, please feel free to express your needs and we can ensure a great exchange together!
If you're a traveller with a flexible schedule, a desire to help out in a beautiful part of the world, and you're ready for an authentic Cambodian experience, please send us a message ! Tell us a bit about yourself, your availability, and why you'd be a great fit for our team.
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to our little slice of paradise in Koh Kong!
Please include the word "pineapple" in the subject of your message so that we know you've read the whole thing. Messages not including the word will be ignored.

What else ...
Since we are located on the beach itself there is nothing better than a relaxing beach time for your time off.

The place is absolutely wonderful and cheeply accessible, the tenants are adorable, understanding and fun people.
