Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Room and board: typically a private bedroom, share bathroom, kitchen, living room and laundry, vegetarian food provided. Short walk to a sandy beach, County bus service all around the island, bus stop about 2 blocks from the house. We like to adventure, and you will be invited: surfing, hiking, exploring and kayaking. Our success rate for teaching basic surf skills is high.

Peaceful vegetarian home 3 blocks from the beach seeking help in the home and garden. Prepare occasional evening meals, house cleaning. Seasonally fruit picking. Feeding chickens and collecting eggs. Vegetable gardening for those who enjoy it. During wrestling season help run high school tournaments.

Accommodation
We have two spare bedrooms with queen beds, one has adjacent outside shower and jacuzzi. There is a hall bathroom with a tub/shower for travelers to share. there is a washer and a dryer, full kitchen and free wifi. Sometimes travelers accept sleeping on a couch and we have let travelers tent camp in the yard on occasion. Kitchen stocked with mostly vegetarian food, sorry we do not have mammal or bird flesh for consumption.
What else ...
Our home is quiet and peaceful, some moderate legal age alcohol consumption okay. No illegal intoxicants and no tobacco products allowed on the property. Travelers often take the bus to explore the island, and some found hitchhiking a good method of getting around. I do not suggest hitchhiking alone. The island offers incredible sight seeing form beaches to rain forests, waterfalls and caves.
