    Description

    If you are looking for a stay outside of the touristic bubble and looking for an experience living with a local family in rural village of south India and help us with farming and growing fruits and vegetables you are looking at the right place. I am sahithi 29 years old. I and my mom live together in a spacious home in Amaravathi, Andhra pradesh. I have been a traveller most of my 20's and have been around the world. I loved spending my time volunteering at various places around the world and learnt a lot and I feel now is the time for me to return that favour to the travellers and get some help in return to build my dream food farm.

    Currently we need help with building a mud oven and basic farm activities like, weeding, watering plants and general help around gardening. If you have cool ideas on building a fire place area and Hangout spots, you are welcome. Currently we have a front yard, about half a acre, lying almost empty which I would like to transform into a Organic food heaven garden. we need help with setting up compost system too. Currently we just layer organic waste with solid and let them decompose. I think with a little help we can make better systems.

We can hike hills for Amazing sunsets. I have a motorbike and a bicycle which you can use to go around as long as you can fill the petrol. If we are more people at the site, we can also go to trips to nearby places using car at my home(petrol costs need to be borne).
