Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our staff is very friendly, and willing to learn from a cultural exchange, Timor-Leste is a country with a very strong culture and traditions, so the volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about timorese culture and history..
In the remote village of Atecru provides an incredible opportunity to learn from a community that still lives in a very subsistence way by daily collecting food and resourses.
The permaculture farm stay in Baucau, 3 hours drive from Dili, is set on the rural area close to the astonishing pristine beaches of Baucau. the volunteers get the chance to see the country side, and learn from an agroecological farm and seed bank that has been established since 2011.
Help
We run a hostel and restaurant in Dili, Timor-Leste, and an agroecological farm stay in Baucau.
We are looking for volunteer help to support our staff with bookings and reservations, as well the daily routines of a hostel and a farm. Bringing new recipes for the restaurants will be also great but not mandatory.
