Description
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 :)Types of help and learning opportunities
