The Experience

We are a retired couple running a cozy homestay with a large garden and a beautiful swimming pool. Since the pandemic and recent challenges in Sri Lanka, we’ve seen fewer visitors, and we could really use some help making our land more productive and lively again. 🌱💧 We love meeting people from all over the world and sharing our culture, and we'd love to welcome you into our home!

Jerry and Sally are a really welcoming couple with nothing more than kindness and respect for their guests. It is a lovely place to stay and work in and the staff have a lot to share and is always ready to help.

Wonderful to have Florencia and Rodrigo to stay and help us keep our Jungle Tide under control! They were lovely people and happily worked at all the tasks we asked them to undertake. Thanks so much to you both, we would highly recommend you to anyone looking for cheerful, friendly and hard working volunteers!
