I opened Villa Astoria, a guest house/hostel in January as the first step towards creating an eco-village and I need help running it. I work full time and travel occasionally for work, which makes doing both things next to impossible. I'm looking for general administration, upkeep of the hostel, help with online presence & marketing, handling check-ins and check-outs. Since I'm here a good part of the time and we're not nearly to the point where there's guests all the time, there's plenty of time for exploring and sightseeing. Check us out on AirBnB (but don't use the enquiry or booking feature unless you plan to book a paid stay -- otherwise it messes with our statistics). We're also on Facebook - Villa Astoria, Anton, Panama. Live here for free and help build Villa Astoria so that we can take the next steps to the eco-village.

Additional information about these dates

3 months, 6 months, 1 year -- I'm totally flexible at this point. Caring for the hostel isn't that much work -- it's just too much given my current employment and I need help. I'll be right next door most of the time. And when it get so busy that there's more work than is fair to ask of a house-sitter -- well, that's a good thing & we'll talk about options.

Near a bus stop

Laid-back, tropical atmosphere. Quiet small town that comes to life for holidays, town festivals, and many weekends. Nearest 'city' 20 minutes by car or bus. We're close to beaches and mountains. Public transport is available to nearly anywhere - even remote rural locations up in the mountains. Only 2 hours to Panama City where you can find just about anything and there's plenty of night life if that's your thing.
