Help run & grow a hostel / BnB in SanCris, Chiapas, Mexico

Infos

• 

  Description

  We have space for ~15 guests & 6 volunteers, a mid-level terrace which we hope to develop into a small cafe, and the best rooftop terrace in all of SanCris, which we will soon open up to the public for sunsets & cocktails.
  
  The space has *huge* potential - we're looking for people who can help us realise that potential :)
  
  We are currently a team of volunteers, a house manager, the owner and a local (part time) helper (cleaning, sheets etc).
  
  We're the first Bitcoin-friendly BnB/Hostel/bar/CoLiving and Community Space in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, and Mexico.
  
  (Bitcoin-friendly = we encourage, but definitely don't demand payment in Bitcoin).

  Aide

  Your main responsibility will be running the Hostel/BnB/CoLiving - manning reception, keeping the place tidy, hosting guests etc.
  
  Our hostel is busy & fun, but all guests have large private spaces to chill out. We have the most beautiful roof terrace in SanCris, and we open up the terrace to the public for small events like SunSets, as well as our mid-level terrace bar/cafe.
  
  We only recently opened up the space, in March last year - we also need help painting, decorating, renovating, and generally improving the place.
  
  We have fast internet so we welcome nomads and remote workers. We're very LGBTQIA+ friendly too, with queer-identifying members already in our nascent community :)
  
  We have space for 6 volunteers, and key roles include:
  
  - Reception & Housekeeping
  - Renovation and DIY
  - Activities and community growth
  - Content Creation & Social Media
  
  The schedule is around 4 days on, 3 days off.
  
  We prefer commitments no less than a month, but we can be flexible for the right people. We have short stay options for influencers/content creators/carpenters/plumbers/any other renovation skill etc, just give us a shout.

  Hébergement

  Hostel / BnB / CoLiving. Volunteers will sleep in a shared room, in private, very comfortable japanese style pod/capsules. We provide breakfast for volunteers, the rest of the meals are up to you. We often cook for each other and do family meals, but this is an informal thing :)
