Description

Hi! We’re Osman and Lala – a traveling couple, open to new experiences, cultures, and people.

About a year and a half ago, we both left our office jobs in search of a more meaningful life.
I (Osman) used to work in finance for 5 years and decided to follow my passion — I’m now a mobile videographer, surfer, and storyteller, capturing people, places, and moments as we travel.

Lala used to work as a chief accountant, but now she’s a full-time artist. She paints with oil and acrylic on canvas and walls, and also creates beautiful stained glass artworks.

We’ve spent the last 6 months traveling across India and Sri Lanka, exchanging our creative skills for accommodation — helping small guesthouses, hostels, and families with videos, photos, and murals.

We’re also both passionate about inner growth and self-awareness. We practice yoga and meditation regularly, and try to live in a mindful and respectful way — with nature, with people, and with ourselves.
Lala is vegetarian, and we both try to live in an eco-conscious, low-impact way — doing our best to give more than we take.

We love connecting with people and sharing our time, energy, and talents in exchange for a simple place to stay and meaningful moments together.
Let’s make something beautiful!

More details about your skills

– I (Osman) am a professional videographer and photographer. I can help you create high-quality visual content for Booking, Airbnb, social media, or your website – photos, videos, reels, etc.

– We are creative and open-minded people. We enjoy bringing fresh ideas and energy into spaces and projects.

– Lala is a visual artist with a great sense of beauty and space. She paints (murals, canvas, stained glass), and can help improve the aesthetic of your place — from small design touches to atmosphere-shaping ideas.

– We are both passionate about language exchange, and love connecting with people from different backgrounds.

– Lala cooks amazing vegetarian food and desserts. (We dream of opening our own café with healthy, sugar-free baking and desserts)

– We also practice yoga and meditation regularly, and value mindfulness, clean living, and conscious connection with nature and people. We try to leave places better than we found them.

What else ...

We don’t drink alcohol. Osman is a big coffee lover, and Lala really enjoys herbal teas.
We try to live mindfully — waking up early, practicing yoga and meditation in the mornings.
Don’t worry if you like to sleep in — we’ll keep it quiet and respectful.
