Description
We are two backpacker hostels with attached backpacker bars in the heart of magnificent Bukit Bintang that cater to travelers here in Kuala Lumpur. We are looking for fun-loving people to help us in our quest to bring joy and happiness to all the travelers coming to Malaysia! We currently have several local full-time staff that work at reception and as administrative assistants for backpacker relations, all of which love working with and interacting with travelers from around the world!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will be able to meet people from all over the world daily and form lasting friendships that you will remember all your life. You will also be able to immerse yourself in the rich Malaysian culture that Kuala Lumpur has to offer. We also employ local staff from all around Malaysia that love to teach foreigners about the many different subcultures, customs and history of this magnificent country. You will become part of our little family here as we host events and activities throughout the city and surrounding areas with other backpackers that will have you interacting with many additional locals, all of which are excited to share their cultural background with you. We will make sure that you leave this experience with a vast knowledge of this area of Southeast Asia and with a newfound sense of belonging in our familly here, with memories you will keep for the rest of your days. Who knows? Maybe you will even depart from us speaking Malay, because everyone here is ready to teach you! We would in turn love to know about your country's history, languages and customs as well, as we find this world full of different people, from all walks of life, fascinating and love learning about every part of it!
Help
We would need assistance at our hostel with guest relations, such as checking in guests and taking them to do various activities around the area, running the events we do for them and promoting our backpacker fun!

What else ...
In your time off you may wander around the amazing and world-famous city of Kuala Lumpur, exploring the night markets and malls in the area. There are nice museums and delightful historical sites that are amazing to see as well. There are beautiful beaches to explore a short distance away and island-hopping adventures that await with wonderful clear waters for snorkeling. The Cameron Highlands and The Genting Highlands are only a tiny trip away, and two extremely majestic mountains ranges in Southeast Asia, offering stunning views and breathtaking hiking.
