Description
Hey! I'm Melissa — my husband and I have been calling Cambodia home for quite some time (me since 2017, him since 2012), and together with our adventurous 3-year-old twins, a playful pup, and a chill cat, we’re diving into an exciting new chapter in beautiful Kampot, Cambodia!
We’ve just landed a dreamy property surrounded by nature — think a big house for us and a little house on the side of the property for you, tropical fruit trees (mangoes, bananas, papayas galore!), and space to bring our vision to life. We’re turning the ground floor of the big house into a cozy restaurant, while we live upstairs. Plans are in motion to build a yoga shala under the trees and create a magical, natural playground for kids to explore and roam freely.
We’re also dreaming up an organic garden and embracing the stunning surroundings — the property backs onto a peaceful mangrove, and we’ve got kayaks ready for anyone who wants to paddle through paradise. We’re just 5 km from town — a breezy 10-15 minute ride by moto.
Exciting times ahead — and we can’t wait to share it all with you!

Above all, this person(s) should be kind and respectful to others and the Earth.
We could use help building the yoga shala and natural playground for kids. There are also some minor repairs to be made to the decking. We need a certified Yoga Instructor to teach 3 or 4 classes per week. Any experience in hospitality is a bonus! Any experience with kids and/or pets is also a bonus!
