Description

Hello hosts, we are both friends who met whilst studying at Falmouth University. We are very sociable easy-going people who also enjoy our own company. The idea of staying at least three weeks with each homestay to really get to know the energy, quirkiness, and charms of each place we visit. Where we can offer our skills and hopefully contribute to a wonderful home.

Amy:
Hey my name is Amy, I recently graduated with a BA(Hons) in textiles from Falmouth University and I would love to carry on my learning with the best source of education, travel! I am so excited to immerse myself in new cultures and widen my perspective of the world. where I'll get to meet new people from all walks of life. To get the privilege to travel to India with its rich textile culture of superb artisans. Lovely cant wait for an injection of rich multifaced colour life and techniques.
Living by the sea has made me always appreciate nature, I enjoy sea swimming, gardening, cooking, and socializing.

Poppy:
Hi, I studied Fine Art at University where my artistic practice looked into understanding the world we live in today: through video, painting and sculpture. I am interested in working within community projects and creating collaboratively in the future.
I would love to learn more about what community means in 2023. Through travelling around India, I hope to learn from my surroundings, share skills and meet different people. I would love to learn some Hindi. I enjoy writing, cooking, creating, learning, swimming, being in nature, as well as environmentalism, film and reading.
