Description
Hello! We’re Josiah and Nainy, an artist couple who love traveling, painting murals, and connecting with creative projects. Our main passion is mural art, but we’re also happy to help with gardening, eco-construction, and general maintenance.

🇲🇽 Travel Plans
We’ll be in Puerto Vallarta from mid-November and are open to traveling around Mexico for the right volunteering opportunity.

🎨 Our Skills:
• Mural & Wall Art: design, painting, sealing, and collaborative projects (see pictures on our profile 📸)
• Creative Work: sign painting, small decorative pieces, upcycling
• Cooking: we love sharing Indian meals, soups, and pizzas with hosts and friends
• Care & Maintenance: general upkeep, organizing, gardening, and caring for animals.

We’ve painted large-scale murals across India, Nepal, and Vietnam — always inspired by the place and the people. We enjoy bringing color, creativity, and care wherever we go.

Josiah has experience with tree trimming, handling a chainsaw, carrying heavy packages, and some woodwork. Nainy has experience with writing blogs, logo design, and can also assist with hosting creative workshops.

We take pride in doing things with mindfulness and respect for the space we’re in.

🌎 Our Lifestyle
We’re calm, friendly, and easygoing — not into parties or drinking — and prefer peaceful environments with good food, nature, and meaningful work. We love reading, hiking, music, and trying local food.

We’re also very respectful of people’s homes and rhythms.

💬 What We Value
We believe in cultural exchange, creativity, and simple living. Our favorite Workaway experiences are those where we can contribute artistically, share good meals, and learn from the people we meet.

We are excited to connect, create, and contribute wherever our travels take us.

Namaste 🙏

My dad describes Josiah and Meghma as 天生緣分, destiny or a match made in heaven. We admired how seamlessly they complemented each other, both in life and in their work, restoring and painting the intricate wooden carvings on the windows of the House. The results are spectacular, with villagers from nearby coming by to admire and photograph their… read more

Warning: Be prepared to fall in love with this place and be wanting stay longer in Khamje than you expected!

Daputi House is a very special workaway with an expansive vision and humanitarian goals. We stayed there for a month and helped restore the antique carvings on their window panels. Our work was very fulfilling and the stay was absolutely… read more

Josiah and Nani are helpful volunteers. They were very enthusiastic, kind and hard working. We really love their cooking, so delicious. They helped me to draw a tropical jungle picture in our garden wall which is so so beautiful. The kids love them. We really enjoyed their time here with us.
Hope to see you again!

Our month-long stay with Anh and her family was an absolute delight. We had our own private room, providing ample time for personal pursuits. Anh's cooking was exceptional, and her thoughtful gestures, like offering fresh fruit and snacks, made us feel truly welcomed.
We enjoyed assisting the twins with their English and math, and we loved… read more

This Workaway at Ms. Dung’s was a delightful experience! It was truly fulfilling to engage with her kids and be a medium for them to practice speaking in English.

We stayed there for only a week because we had a tight schedule. We were part of their Summer Camp initiative that involved spending quality time 6 kids and helping them with their… read more

We stayed for almost a month and enjoyed a wonderful stay! During our time there, we mapped and painted a bird-eye view of the property with hand-painted details of the main buildings.

Thanks to Josiah and Naniey with all my heart. It was good experience to have them here with us. They stayed for apox. 1 month and helped us making some painting and stunning 2D colorful floor plan of the huts, very much in details. I am very happy. Thanks again Josiah and Naniey I wish you a good luck. Hope to see you again. 😊

Mark was our our fourth Workaway, and he was our favorite by far. We were overwhelmed with his constant generosity and hospitality. He responded to our last-minute request, and he made sure we had plenty of food every day. Whenever Mark knocked on our door, he had more food in hand, so we never got even close to running out. He and Thespina were… read more

We had a wonderful time at Sandrine's. We didn't stay for long, but I wish we could have. She is a nice lady and a wonderful chef! We helped her learn English, and she helped me with French. Our work was renovating some very old walls upstairs, which was a lot of fun.
La Bisbal is a wonderful little town, but I would definitely recommend visiting… read more

Josiah, his brother and friend were exceptional young people. Full of life, curiosity and open minded, it was a joy to have them around for 2 weeks. They were independent, volunteer, polite, respectful and good fun! Josiah spoke a tiny French. They were happy to do anything we asked them to do including hours around a woodchipper! They had some… read more

We had an excellent time with Colette, Dan, Janik, and Laurent. This was our first workaway, and they set the standard very high for what to expect from future hosts. Our lodging was wonderful. Since the yurt wasn't quite ready for us, they let us stay in a large gite for our two weeks there. We cooked most of our meals, and Janik was always… read more
