  Description

  My sister and I are family people and have a small acreage self reliant farm, we grow avocado,mangoes,and diverse other fruit trees , we are not in business it's only for our own use. We also have
  vegetable gardens we aren't far from a small township. My sister has 4 boys who are autistic but are very loveable,we don't have a lot of work for people to do but you can always find something, we have grown up children who sometimes visit, it's a very quiet place with much bird life , it is very safe and peaceful place and is good for at least a few days. I have recently built a self contained small cabin/flat which is nice. We are alternate /off grid type people and have values but don't mind a beer or so.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  They would learn how to be more self reliant and get to see it in practice and what one needs to consider if looking to go off grid and grow food . Also I love to learn from new people about they're experiences and what they may know to pass on to myself and about their country and history.
