Hi! I'm Willem and in 2020 I build my dream: An indoor camping Hotel in Amsterdam. It's a 1000m2 indoor park in which guest can spend the night in a vintage camper of even in one of the beach houses. Yes there even is a white sandy beach! The easiest explaination is: It looks like a camping but it works like a hotel. Instead of boring rooms guest can sleep in a caravan, camper, gypsy wagon etc. Plus you get the social benefits of an hostel since guests can play Badminton or Jeu de Boules in the park. Which can result in having a drink and a chat with the guests enjoying each other's stories.
WORKING ARRANGEMENT
I'm looking for someone prefarably a couple or two friends (since if you are with 2 you will share a bedroom) who can help me out with the guests. On average you’ll work 24 hours a week spread over 3 days.
The tasks will be:
- check-in/check-out guests
- helping guests
- house keeping
- being creative (if you want, helping decorating the campsite).
OR
If you're a real handy man/woman that has/have some real skills like carpentry to help me restore the classic caravans into beautifull bedrooms. You do need to have experience with basic tools like electric saws, drills etc.
I love to create and build things so all caravans/rooms I transformed into comfortable hotel rooms. I have a workshop in a separate area in the camping where I build the rooms. Currently there are 26 rooms finished and I'm planning to build up to 30 rooms.
LIVING ARRANGEMENT
At this moment we have 6 volunteers who are helping us with the camping for the last 4 months. You will be sharing the house with them. Every couple has their own private bedroom. You'll share a kitchen, living room and bathroom. We do have a washing machine and dryer. Since I'm not a good cook I give everyone money for groceries. Sometimes wo do have pizza night :). You will also have a lot of free time!
