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

I had such an amazing time with judit. She is so so lovely and makes you feel so warm and welcome right from the start. She gives you so much time to explore the surrounding area and you can do day trips to lots of different towns all along the coast by catching a local bus. The boys are so polite and well behaved, it doesn't really feel like work as they are a pleasure to be around. And the food is amazing. Would definitely recommend this volunteer, definitely one of my favourite ones so far!!

This has been my best volunteering experience so far, I loved Sri Lanka but what really made my trip special was this lovely family💘💘 Leo and Levi are the most amazing kids ever, so easy to be around and full of joy, and Judit is an amazing host (and cook) who will always make you feel welcomed and included. The area is incredibly beautiful and you'll get plenty of time to explore around because its location is perfect since it's close to all the best spots. Thank you for everything Judit, Leo and Levi and I hope to see you again veeery soooon!!💞💓

I had the best time with Judit and the kids. For 3 weeks it felt like I was part of a very loving family. The kids are so sweet and easy to be around with, you'll love them immediately!! Judit was so generous, open and including, I got to learn a lot about the Sri Lankan culture, Unawatanu and surroundings. It's so nice after some travelling to have a home and routine for a bit again. I'm really grateful for my time here. Ooooh and I'm already missing Judit's dahl curry, she's the best cook ever!!!❤️

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!
