Program Details
Our family business is run by two adults over 50, so they find it difficult to attend to our three locations at the same time. Therefore we are looking for responsible people who want to support us at the lodge reception.
We have three spaces: a lodge for lodging, a panoramic-view tourist restaurant, and a food stall in the local market.
We are looking for committed people who want to support our daily operations and become part of our family. Our priority is to offer an authentic cultural exchange experience in a respectful and close-knit environment.
We offer lodging at our lodge and access to breakfast, lunch and dinner, with freedom to prepare your own meals.
