Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We started off as a family project 14 years ago, as a means to get out of the hustle and bustle of city life. Throughout our time here, we have hosted volunteers from all corners of the world. The exchange in culture whether it be food, language or perspective has always been the interesting part in hosting people of all walks of life.
