Description
Hi my name is Fernando Sac and I am an outgoing individual who is crazy about running hostels and co-working spaces. I am also really passionate about Yoga and Ayurveda hence I have opened a hostel focusing on Yoga and Surfing. We are a brand new hostel in the beautiful surf village, Weligama. We are concentrated on surf & yoga mainly. And we are looking for a dynamic set of volunteers to join our Hostel as we are about to start our journey. We are a team of 4 people who are looking forward to welcome you to our family!

*if you are in Germany and living in the NRW area pleases mention that. Would be a plus point in the selection process, you will know the reason later 😊

We are just a minute away from the main surf beach in Weligama, so you can surf as much when you are not in your shift and you can get engaged in traditional Sri Lankan cooking and learn about famous Sri Lankan Ayurvedha as we will be mainly focussing on those areas. During your time here we can introduce you to local food, local culture and also teach you how to cook Sri Lankan/Indian food, we will also teach you some important words in Sinhalese which is the language spoken in Sri Lanka.
Help
If you have just completed your yoga teacher training this is the perfect opportunity for you! We are also looking for good content writers for our blog and also need some helpers around the hostels with the guests. We need people who have some experience, and most importantly maintaining a positive vibe and being ready to get your hands dirty!

Toni is an excellent workawayer, She managed the hostel along with the other volunteers as I was away for two weeks. She kept every corner of the hostel clean and tidy. A self initiative volunteer you can really count on. Highly recommended!

Left by host for Workawayer (Olive)

Olive is a hard to find volunteer who would always go above and beyond in everything she does. She applied to a teaching position for yoga but when there were no classes she always helped with cooking, cleaning and most importantly making guests feel like home. I am really glad we found her and really wished she could stay longer. It was a really… read more

This was an excellent workaway experience for me. Fernando the owner was very genuine and helpful with any assistance I needed. He is also this way with guests and goes out of his way to be helpful. I felt part of a family vibe and I didn't want to leave and would go back! I was yoga teaching and then I helped with any other tasks onsite. I was… read more

We stayed as two friends at the beautiful hostel in a family-like atmosphere and we enjoyed it a lot! Our tasks were tidying up after breakfast and dinner, making the beds and having a look after the rooms, but we could also join other fun activities with a helping hand, such as painting or cooking (if you want to get to know more about very good… read more

Left by host for Workawayer (Lucia)

Luci is a great salsa teacher and she also did some good classes for our guests but should say she has her own agenda behind the curtains and she is very lucrative in evading tasks which are allocated to her by giving various excuses. So if you are looking for a dedicated yet a committed workawayer I would think twice about Luci. Also make sure… read more

Common activities were sometimes organized (Go to parties, cocktail happy hours).

Levin is top notch, he helped us fixing a lot of things in and around the hostel. He is very dedicated, hardworking and most of all have really good attention to detail. He is an all rounder and if you want a handyman for your next project Levin should be the pick!

Sofie was amazing, she is very focussed and knowledgable. Also she is very self initiative so you can simply just let her handle pretty much anything. During the time she was volunteering with us she made sure she kept all the rooms, floors clean and shopping and most of all having everything organized. Highly recommend her for your next project!

I had a good time in the hostel where they were setting up the place and getting ready for guests.
My time was organized in shifts and quite straight forward in terms of duties. We had to keep the place tidy and clean, prepare breakfast for the guests and other tasks depending on the day including some painting and sanding wood.
