Description
Hi guys,
We are Remon and Freya. We run an eco lodge 40 mins east of Kandy with a strong focus on community and nature.
Together with Remon's parents, we run 3 organisations that focus on nature and our local community and we are looking for an enthusiastic marketer to tell our story. Polwaththa Eco Lodges, Eko Land Produce and the Forest Healing Foundation are located in a Kandyan Forest Garden and centered on conservation and uplifting the community while promoting a more sustainable tourism and spice trade. The richness of these Kandyan Forests not only provides a diverse range of fruits and spices but also a haven for birdwatchers, yogis and anyone that loves being in nature.
What we are looking for
- An enthusiastic traveller who shares our passion for community and nature
- Has experience in marketing and story telling, especially SEO and social media i.e. Instagram and Facebook
- Travels with a good camera or phone
- Available for 1-2 months
If you are interested in telling our story then please get in touch! -
