A truly unforgettable experience . I am beyond grateful for my time with Judith. After six months of travelling, her home became a place where I felt truly at ease — like finding the comfort of home without actually returning. Judith is an exceptional host, and Levi and Leo are such kind, bright, and easy-going kids. My time there never once felt like “work”; it felt like contributing, connecting, and being welcomed as part of the family. Having so much free time allowed me to unwind, and her cooking made me never want to leave. It was hard to say goodbye, and I will really miss this family.

The family was incredibly kind and open! The children welcomed me so warmly, even though we hadn't met before. The mother was very caring. It was a really lovely the home, and it didn't feel like work at all.

I had a fantastic experience here. My plan was to get experience the culture and enjoy the nature here and to get my open water diver certificate. I was able to do all that, thanks to Judit who helped me achieve my dream. I'm glad I got to dive around here. Judit is a great cook. So far I have not eaten better food like I had in Sri lanka. The kids are so lovely. It's amazing hearing her story and how she's been able to help travellers. I like to joke that she's more of help to travelers than we are to her. She gives all her heart and makes sure you are comfortable and enjoying yourself.

From the moment i arrived, i felt completely at home. Judit is an incredible host and mum. She's super warm, easygoing and genuinely inspiring. The two boys Leo and Levi are absolutely gorgeous, full of energy and will never fail to make you laugh. The work never feels like work and there's plenty of free time to explore the beautiful surrounding areas. Judit also seems to have a connect for absolutely anything you could need! This has been my favourite experience i have never done ! i already miss it
