Description
Hello, it is the off season here in Varkala, so we closed our bistro down for a few months. Also our homestay is not full with customers. We have only few. I am planning on traveling a little bit so I am looking for somebody interested in house and cat sitting for about a month.
*********************************************************
We are running a new Homestay in beautiful Kerala in south India, just five minute walk from a beach. You will be working with me, Renata and my local staff - chechi Usha and Kannan. Usha is our great help. She cleans the whole house and prepares delish south indian food. Kannan takes care of all the issues related to the garden and house maintanance. He will also advise you where to go for a trip and will introduce you to his sporty friends :) We do yoga, meditation, cooking courses and would also love to do more creative work like painting, jewelry making, other craft work, etc. We are also interested in studying yoga philosophy, aromatherapy and naturopathy, etc. On top of this, we are also starting our ayurvegan bistro... uff ....so you see, we are very busy and can use some help.

Help
We would welcome your help at our 7 room guest house, which is located just five minutes walk from the Varkala cliff and beaches. There is always stuff to do around the house. We need little help so everybody involved here can enjoy the time helping us as well as the free time, have time to enjoy the beach, possibly surfing, travelling around amazing Kerala, practising yoga, meditating, cooking, doing some craft or self development work... We need help cleaning and maintaining the house, guest rooms, garden and receiving the guests. We love to work hard and play hard so during helping time we really focus on tasks so that we can be free as soon as possible to do the things we love to do.
We love to spend our time off line but we understand that online presence is very important. So we are also looking for help with Digital marketing - making videos, updating our website, IG and total online presense.
