Help at my home and enjoy nature & culture in Sri Lanka 🏡💚

The experience

I live in a cozy house surrounded by lush greenery, but still close enough to the city for easy access. I’m looking for volunteers to help with gardening, cleaning, and repairs around the house. If you enjoy creative work, you can also help me with social media and photography for my homestay, that would be a big plus :) Cooking is optional.
I look forward to welcoming a helpful and friendly person!
