Description
We are Anna Książek and Andrea Pucci, story tellers who decided to go on a journey around the world to find changemakers, people who in different places change the world for better. We travel since September 2015 describing experiences of changemakers, popularize their achievements, and look for an answer to the questions: Who are the changemakers? What do they have in common? What is it needed to change the world?
The method of our trip will be the exchange: we want to give our skills, knowledge (eg. story telling, teaching English, Italian cuisine, organizing workshops) and network in exchange for a place to sleep and/or a meal.

This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING place to be. We appreciated every minute there and we loved people from this community a lot. We were in touch through all our travel in India, long after leaving the farm already, they helped us a lot in different moments, different places and we still miss them, being already in Europe. It's very inspiring place, full… read more

Staying here was great. We were super taken care of, sometimes feeling more like guests than volunteers.

We give excellent note to this place, because it was definitely one of those experiences during which we learned a lot about ourselves and we got exactly what we needed in that particular moment: lots of time and space for ourselves and silence.
