  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You'll be working for only a few hours every day and the work hours are flexible. So you will have plenty of time to walk around the town, visit the lakes and for going for hiking if you like that. In my free time, I will be happy to show you around a little as well. We can help you learn Sinhalese and you can learn to cook local meals if you fancy that. You get to experience the best of both worlds: exploring places like a traveler and learning about the culture and ethnicity as a local.
