  Descripción

  I'm Gregory, an American author and international traveler who has established a personal development retreat center in Kalavan village in the Gegharkunik province of Armenia, located less than an hour from Dilijan and Ijevan. Our focus is now on building a thriving international community model for extended stays from locals and foreigners alike who seek the freedom to live as they want. We've had volunteers and guests from 13 nations stay at The Kalavan Retreat Center since winter, some for months at a time and many who have made multiple trips here.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  You will learn a great deal about business, economics, the English language, and overcoming cultural limitations among rural Armenians to bring development to remote locations. I am an author on many of these subjects, and my intention is for my house to be a beacon and safe haven for freethinkers in Armenia. I've learned over the last five years of living here how many people feel suppressed living here and are seeking a place to get away from coercive expectations. I want to be one of the first organizations in Armenia actively offering them that opportunity.

  Ayuda

  I need creative and organized people who can help make the house cleaner and more beautiful, including the outdoor areas. Use your imagination. There's a lot the right people can contribute to what I've started here.
  
  We have a large workshop of tools and building supplies that we use for various construction, metalworking, and carpentry projects.
  
  I could also use help from people experienced in social media and marketing to help build an online brand presence for the village and my house on sites like Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram.
  
  Recently, we've started planning to use earthbag construction to build some small homes on the upper part of the property. If you have experience building with earthbags or similar techniques, please let me know.
  
  We are also now planting vegetables in our greenhouses, which we would like to expand and even eventually set up an in door hydroponic system for growing all year.
  
  If you have experience in any of the arts, such as painting, drawing, sculpting, or music, we would love it if you could share your expertise with us and any villager neighbors who want to learn. We have a large array of musical instruments (piano, guitar, violin, ukulele, percussion, etc.) and art supplies.

  Este anfitrión ofrece intercambio de idiomas
  I am a globally experienced English teacher. My last book, Our Global Lingua Franca (), is all about common flaws in the way we teach and try to learn English. If you stay in my house, I will certainly be quick to correct all your small English mistakes and help you gain a more dynamic command of the language.

  Alojamiento

  You will have a comfortable bed in a shared bedroom (usually limited to 3 or 4 people per room at peak capacity) and access to the whole house, including kitchen, outdoors, office, and two bathrooms. Meals are provided.
  
  Bonus: My house now hosts the first convenience store in Kalavan. You won't have to drive back into town every time you want to buy simple ingredients, cigarettes, etc. It's small for now, but the inventory is always expanding.
