Description
I am a retired hotel/restaurant manager and former owner of a tour company. After retirement, I opted to remain in Phan Thiet, Vietnam rather than return to my previous home in San Francisco. I am a gay man who has never been married, but I 'adopted' a Vietnamese family twenty years ago and then built a home on a hectare of land in Phan Thiet, where eight of us currently live.
Prior to covid and after I retired as the General Manager of the Resort, I recruited workaway volunteers to help at our adjacent property. However, we permanently closed that resort in March 2020 when the pandemic caused the Vietnamese government to order a nation-wide lockdown. The property will eventually be turned into villas that will be sold, rather than rented as hotel rooms.
The country finally reopened to tourism at the end of 2021, so the owners asked me to help re-establish our volunteer program from workaway for the resort. All of the management and staff members in the resort now are Vietnamese, yet the majority of the guests are from Europe, Australia and North America. So, we felt that workaway volunteers could help the staff members with their language abilities and help them to bridge the divide between Vietnamese and foreign cultures.
We are looking for volunteers willing to stay a minimum of three months to help with IT, F&B, PR, housekeeping, gardening, plus English training for staff and Yoga, and Tai Chi classes for guests.

They would be staying at a beautiful beach resort surrounded by local Vietnamese and next to a very traditional Vietnamese community.

At the same time, they can participate in many of the same activities that tourists come to Mui Ne, Phan Thiet to experience.
