Overview
Join Sky Mavis as a Freelance Travel Spend & Market Explorer. Help map out spending habits in Southeast Asia while exploring the region. Ideal for travelers in Vietnam and the Philippines. About the Opportunity Whether you are backpacking 🎒through Vietnam, island-hopping in the Philippines, or living that slow-travel life in Thailand, you know the daily routine: grabbing street food, bargaining at local markets, and renting scooters. You also know the exact moment the fun stops—when you run out of cash, can’t find an ATM 🏧, or get hit with massive withdrawal fees. We are building PayMoji, an app that lets travelers ditch the bulky wallets and pay like a local using native QR codes across Southeast Asia 🌏. To make sure it works seamlessly in the real world, we need eyes and ears on the ground 👀👂. We are looking for observant, street-savvy travelers to help us map out exactly how people spend money in the cities you are already exploring 🗺️. We are looking to work with people in Vietnam and the Philippines but will open soon to Thailand 🇹🇭and Cambodia 🇰🇭. Feel free to reach out to us in advance!
