It's really chill work at a beautiful location, the colleges are really nice. Food is good as well, the house where I lived was a bit far from the work place, which I knew before, it was anyways a bit of a ride each time :) Yohan is nice but sometimes we had some communication problems. I did the volunteering with another woman which I really enjoyed cause it's quite dominated by man.

I had a great time at the host, my job consisted of waiting on guests, prepping food and cleaning. the owner Yohan is very kind and made the experience fun. The meals provided are always delicious.The restaurant is located on a beautiful beach with great sunsets! However when i was there it was off season so it wasn't very busy

I had a great experience. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country. There is so much to explore, but I had just two weeks to work as well as explore. But the host Yohan give me the opportunity to explore as well as he was very kind to me, and he never made me feel bored. We really had good time together, some laughter and with some good food. The restaurant is located in front of sea, which has a magnificent view. My stay was very basic also since it was humid. I struggled with heat but overall experience was amazing. I did a lot of activities like underwater diving. I will definitely recommend.

Im not so handy person but I make it with some help from Yohan & other staff ♥️ thank you for make my stay in sri lanka more meaningful.

If you wanna experiment what is life and work here in Sri Lanka is a good place to choose. The restaurant is located in a really good spot so you'll work with nice views to the beach (perfect to sunset lovers). If you are looking for a good room and good and diferent local meals every day, it's not your place. But if you want to feel how is the local life here, how they life and eat when they're working, it's a good place to reflect and to work your social and cultural conscience. I learned a lot, about culture, about life, about myself. Thank you very much! See you!
