Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Help around the house
Hospitality/Tourism
General Maintenance
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you're interested in learning what an authentic Vietnamese countryside life is, this is the place for you.
Also I can teach you a lot about Buddhism and what it means to follow this lifestyle. If you want to come to Vietnam and learn more about Buddhism, I think you should visit my place, even just for a week.
The monks living in the monastery near my place are really noble. In vietnam, a lot of monks are "fake". They say they are vegan when they are not... or even some monks are very greedy for money. However, I've found this monastery in which i can trust in, and learn the teachings from. I think the teachings are not "far-fetched". They are honest and realistic... and when I apply these mindset into my daily life with my family, my husband, my sibling, my cousins etc etc My life really improved.
Help
Me (Ngoc) and my husband (Ricardo) run a retreat in Trang Bang, Tay Ninh (about one hour away from Ho Chi Minh city)

Near my retreat, there's a Buddhist monastery which brings guests here. But recently, I've been unable to focus on receiving guests so the business has closed for a little while. Now that I've decided to open it up again, we really need help.
I have involved myself to work in the monastery so I've realized I'm quite busy :( I'm not home often enough to receive guests. The help is really simple and you will probably have a lot of free time to explore and do your own work online. However, I need someone to help me prep the rooms for guests and receive guests for me every now and also some maintenance work too... (rest of the time you are free!)
