Description
Live with me for a while and take care about 10 cats and 3 dogs and keep the garden tidy. Your duty will mornings and evenings feeding the animals and water the garden.
The house is spacious and got 4 bed rooms, a living and a dinning room.
At times I host tourists or friends and ask you to prepare a healthy breakfast for all of us.
I offer Ayurveda treatments for our guests in cooperation with an Ayurveda wellness center for Panchakarma cures. At that time I do morning Yoga and Meditation with my guests. They get Ayurvedic lunch in consultation with the doctor cooked by my maid. In the evening I cook soup. I accompany the cure with explanations about Ayurveda & Yoga and do life coaching sessions to support cleaning the mind. Bedtime and rising is early.
It's a quiet and healthy lifestyle - but with a lot of fun, too.

Accommodation
You live in a big 4 bedroom house in a village next to Weligama, Southern Province. There is a separate room for you. Bathroom and kitchen we will share. There are all common facilities as washing mashine, shower and a fully equipped kitchen. Around the house we got a beautiful big tropical garden. It is a calm and peacefull area. We share all this with a bunch of cats and dogs, who decided to make our life brighter with their unconditional love.
I like cooking, gardening, traveling, meeting people and working on my projects.
I provide food on a sharing basis, means I like to fill the fridge two times a week with fresh fruits and vegetables from the local market, and provide a stock of rice, lentils, spices etc. I like to share cooking and shopping groceries. We can also get traditional sri-lankan rice and curry made by my maid. There are supermarkets and small restaurants/take aways close by.
I live a healthy life with regular Yoga and Meditation, and I like healthy foods, though I´m not to strikt about it.
What else ...
In your off time you can go to Weligama beach which is just 2 km away and got lots of places to hang out and have good fresh food/fish . Or you spend time in Mirissa or Midigama, all perfect surfer spots and also close by.
The beaches down south are amazingly beautiful, so if you are not afraid about asian traffic you can hire a scooter and travel. Inland you will find waterfalls, a rainforest reservation and national parks with wild elephants and cultural places like temples or the world heritage of Galle Fort. I can also help you to travel around the island by getting you either a good driver or good advise.
