Description
As the largest island in the famous Halong Bay, Cat Ba Island is also the second largest island in Vietnam, has been receiving a lot of tourists, and I have been working with travellers for the last 20 yrs in this area.
We believe low-impact eco-tourism has the real power to change the mindsets of business people greedily pursuing profits at any cost. And we also believe we can all make a difference. My family and I are now developing a sustainable farmstay place to welcome foreign travellers, and would like to have Workawayers to come help us at our green farmstay. We also need artists to paint our houses

We also offer our services and carbon free travel for outdoor adventurers and nature lovers such as biking, kayaking, cruising, trekking, sailing, camping, deep water soloing, rock climbing. Learn more @ #blueswimmeradventures

Ps: We also need vonlonteers who know how to fix sea kayaks

We honestly have nothing bad to say whatsoever about this work exchange! Tran is beyond one of the most genuine and all-around nicest people you'll meet while visiting this area.
