Meet the villagers: Sammy does it right.

Samuel “Sammy” Salvadores is from Trollhättan, just north of Gothenburg. He first came to Otres in 2009. He is one of the original Nesat villagers and was one of the three men who found the land for the villagers to settle. Back in Otres, Sammy was busy. He had a big guesthouse called Done Right, a beach bar, a paintball company, and a bigger family guesthouse, but that is in the past. Where his guesthouse used to be, there is now a helipad landing spot. These days, Sammy has dialed down his business ventures; he says he is not as young and energetic as he used to be. He has remade his Earthship-style guesthouse from Otres, Done Right, and he even employs the same Cambodian staff as back then, who have moved with their families to work with Sammy in Nesat. It is smaller than in Otres, and that suits Sammy well, because require less of him, so he has more time to enjoy the Cambodian countryside.  However, the entrepreneurial spirit he had in Otres is not entirely shelved, because when Sammy started missing bread and baked goods, he opened his own bakery, where the Nesat villagers can go to get all their baked goods.
