My time with Judit in Sri Lanka was truly special. She welcomed me with so much warmth and made me feel like part of the family from the very beginning. Her home is full of peace, love, and positive energy. Judit is a generous and inspiring person, and I'm so grateful for the meaningful conversations and all the care she gave. And I already miss Leo and Levi so much—two amazing boys who brought so much joy to my days! Thank you, Judit, for everything. I'll always remember this experience with love and hope to return one day.

My time with Judit and the kids here was truly unforgettable. The connection i had with them was one of the highlights if my trip. I felt so lucky to be a part of this family, levi and leo are some of the kindest most charming kids ever. Judit is super hard working and an amazing person to be around with great energy. Its the perfect place to explore the beautiful south coast from, connect with local culture, meet other travelers, and maybe even pick up a new passion for surfing!

Judit is an incredible host – so warm, caring, and genuine! From the start I was welcomed like part of the family. Everything was exactly as described and the working hours were always clearly communicated. The two boys are absolutely adorable and so open-hearted, I fell in love with them right away. The area is beautiful too, with lots to explore. I actually stayed a week longer than planned because I just didn't want to leave. Such a special experience that I'll always carry in my heart!

I had the pleasure of spending time with this wonderful family. My experience was truly amazing—Judit is incredibly flexible, kind, and easygoing, and the kids are an absolute joy to be around. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely welcomed and like a real part of the family and I had plenty of time to explore the area as well! Thank you for everything!❤️

Volunteering at Judy's place was an incredible experience. She's a kind, open, and welcoming host who truly treats you like family. The work is simple and easy, with enough free time to relax, go surfing, and enjoy the beach life. The atmosphere is warm and soulful — nothing stressful, just great energy and meaningful connections. I felt at home from day one. If you're looking for a nice, rewarding experience in a beautiful place with wonderful people, I can't recommend this enough 👏
