Hello Everyone :)
Hey My name is Saiju.....,
I am running a home stay in alleppey .I have 4 rooms here and one houseboat as well. I am in the business for the last 10 years . I mostly host international travellers in my house. I like to meet different people and to know their culture. I am happy and passionate about my job. I practice yoga and meditation.
I do yoga sometimes, and I want to be much better at it than I am. I had actually thought about taking some yoga courses at one point,
Please only write to me if you are absolutely sure you can come. If you are not yet in India I ask you to wait until you are before you write to confirm. This is because many people come here and their plans completely change but it means other volunteers lose out. If you send me a message and change your mind, please also write to me again and let me know, it helps me out a lot, thank you :)

On my experience she's a enthusiastic person ready to work & participate in every thing what wants to learn everything.
While she worked in the cafe as an experienced person & also quick learner. She helped in taking order, serving and help in the kitchen for cooking & washing the dishes.

Saiju has been a great host, making me feel welcome and included as soon as I arrived. His friends were lovely and I really enjoyed hanging out with all of them. There was not a lot of work to do at the time which allowed me to work on my projects, enjoy some activities and hang out at the beach. Thank you Saiju for this lovely week in Allepey!

We spent a lot of time chilling at the beach and around the property, there was not much work to do at the time I was there, just a bit of cleaning around the house. Thank you for this experience JuJu
