I have been working full time for the better tourism services with all my savings for the last eight years. We are a family of 4, me, my wife and 2 sons ( 6 and 20 years old).
So,I need volunteers who could help me improving my website (SEO experts are really welcome) and social media and also help with web promotion, writing blogs. Anyone who would like to volunteer with me is welcome! I’m also open to new ideas for my project.
Important: I have been offering FREE WALKING TOUR KATHMANDU everyday (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) at 9:00 am in the morning and at 2:00 pm in the evening, two different shifts in the same day.
Thank you very much.

Shiva and his lovely family were great hosts. They always made sure I was well taken care of and comfortable. He showed me around to all the major attractions in Kathmandu as well as back to his home village and those were all wonderful experiences! This was my first workaway experience and it has definitely set the bar. Thanks Shiva and family!
