I had the greatest time staying with Nurul and his family. He was so kind and welcoming from my the home pace and doing all the activities I asked for. Spending time in his home with his family was a real privilege, I felt like I was part of the family, they were all so nice. If you intend to come to Bangladesh, this is the way to do it!! Highly recommended.

đŸŽ€ Sean is an outstanding guest & a wonderful human being, He stayed with my family in Cox's Bazar for 3 weeks, & from the very beginning, he showed genuine respect for our culture & our simple way of life. He was always polite, easygoing, and truly interested in understanding the local community.

He was very helpful & proactive - he spent time with the local children, shared his experiences, and even helped with English teaching at a local center, which the children absolutely loved. .

Nurul & his family are hospitable, kind, & lovely. They took amazing care of my friend & I. I felt SO safe with them. Nurul took us on 2 different trips, & he made sure we were very safe & well fed. A highlight was Kutubdia Island. The food Nurul's wife & daughter made was fabulous. Arham, the youngest son, was a joy. The ocean is a 20 minute walk away & it's just a very fun experience overall. The only thing I would say is that you should expect to be asked for a $ contribution at the end of your stay. Some of the money stuff was a bit confusing, so maybe set clear expectations. Thank you❀

I absolutely loved my time with this family. I learned so much about the culture and lifestyle. The community they live in is full of funny and kind characters. We visited several local highlights and I tried so much new food. I highly recommend applying, this family is warmhearted and so welcoming.
