UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Shared meals, cooking, yoga classes, maybe forest walks and beach swims and working in our gardens full of abundant gratitude. Having lived and worked on yachts for 30 years we are well travelled adventurers moved ashore. Self sustaining lifestyle skills are in practice here, come and learn along with us.
Help
With the abundant gardens we grow with no spray and some biodynamic/organic leanings we have lots of gardens to tend, food to pick and process and good eating to do. We will work together on some projects sharing what we have learned. Other projects can be undertaken on your own. We can share some meals together, others you can help yourself from the gardens and prepare in your accommodation.
