Description
I am a full time backpacker (quit my job, home etc in 2014 and have been traveling non stop ever since) + illustrator, doodler and wall artist. Traveling with minimal money by using sites like workaway/couchsurfing, hitchhiking, walking and stamping my art in whichever country/place i go has been my way of living since many years.

I would be willing to help you in whichever way possible during my stay there, mainly art and design projects but also other basic chores around your place, reception work, taking care of your area in your absence, etc.

I am always interested in meeting and talking to people from everywhere, curious to know about different cultures, stories and perceptions and exchange some of my own. So maybe i could also help with entertaining the other guests, interacting with them and helping them with things to see around, etc. At the same time, i would like to believe I make your place prettier and interesting with artworks and decorations all around :)

I had an amazing one month in their art hub with Leila, 7 dogs and 2 cats. They trusted me enough to let me paint freely all around! Ziger and Leila were amazing hosts, who are friends now than just my hosts. They took me out during day offs for hikes/picnics/events/bars. The art hub helped me a lot too to learn and get inspired :) i wish you all… read more

It was great time with Vanita in our art hub. She did a awesome job by making splendid paintings. I was astonished by her skills and creativity. And her love for pets. Wish you all the best in future travellings.

We are so glad to have Vanita volunteer for us at our campsite! She came to our place with her doggo and our good bois got a new furry friend to play with!

Vanita is amazing with her painting skills. She can effectively translate one's thoughts into a sketch or a design and then brings it to life with beautiful colors and patterns. During her… read more

What an amazing experience it was to volunteer for manu! I spent around a month here and enjoyed everything about this place! The location is perfect and very peaceful, in the jungle, by the Riverside. There are lots of treks around, which manu saw to it that I would go explore. He would always take us to beautiful places nearby, and was super… read more

This is at two places one is a party hostel and the other for chilling and relaxation. Both have their own small private beach which makes the place all the more beautiful!

Vanita ís an extraordinary artist who contributed so much to the studio. She created four wall murals out of chalk, paper, acrylics and other media which we still have up on our walls today. She also re-designed our logo and did so much more to help with our look. Everyone just loved her here and she brought a lot of joy to the studio and to the… read more

Vanita and Pranav helped us out with some great artwork and creative ideas in our hostel's common room and the Bistro area. We very much appreciate their work and dedication they put into it. We were really sorry they had to leave early.

Completely enjoyed my stay there, all thanks to the three ladies of the house, the never ending love, care and affection showered by them! Also, had fun renovating their walls with interesting themes and concepts decided by ashish and christiane. They trusted me enough to let me choose the walls and rooms that i could paint! I got to use different… read more
