I had a wonderful time staying and helping out on Billy’s beach front property. He’s a very friendly guy, does charity work for a local non-profit and government organization, and loves to chat! He also has cats and lots of mangoes.

Having Anastasia in my home was a pleasant experience, she was very helpful, friendly and clean. She helped me keep the house clean and we also went on a hike together into the mountains and river that was close to my house. Would definitely recommend hosting her.

Anastasia was always interested in trying new and… read more
