Descrição
A little about me
I’m a host, traveller, organic farmer and storyteller from Karnataka, India. Over the years, hosting travellers and volunteers from different parts of the world has taught me that cultural exchange is much more than simply travelling — it is about the people we meet and the stories we share.
I’ve travelled, volunteered and hosted people from many different backgrounds, and I enjoy sharing everyday life, Indian culture, farming, travel stories and simple living with the people who stay here.
I’m also the author of The Gift of Strangers: Stories of Travel, Volunteering, and the Unexpected Teachers Who Changed My Life, a collection of true experiences inspired by the many people I have met along the way.
I also run a YouTube channel, where I have conversations with people about life, spirituality, personal experiences and different perspectives. I enjoy meeting people with interesting stories and ideas, and sometimes invite guests to share their journeys and experiences in these conversations.
If you are interested in travel, cultural exchange, volunteering, spirituality, farming or simply learning from one another, we will probably have plenty to talk about.
I look forward to sharing a little of our life in India with you — and learning something from you too.
If you like to stay in noise less, natural surrounding place, then you'll sure like my place. My place is like mini-hill station. After 8pm zero noise, completely quiet here. Rat snake, Peacock, Kingfisher, Myna, Little egret, Hummingbird, Parrots are common here. If you are lucky, you may endup seeing Monitor Lizard, Water Crow, Hornbill, Indian cobra, Python & even Owl ! -

A Little About the Help We Need
Working hours: We expect volunteers to help for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with 2 days off. There is no fixed schedule. You can choose the hours that suit you, but we expect 5 hours of help each working day. The type of work will depend on our current needs and projects.
1. Mural Artist
I'm looking for a professional mural artist who can paint beautiful murals on the interior walls of our house. If you have experience with wall murals, please share some pictures or links to your previous work.
2. Guitar Teacher
My son already plays some guitar, and I'd like to find someone who is really good at playing and can help him improve. If you have experience playing or teaching guitar, please let me know.
3. Spirituality, Yoga & Meditation
I enjoy meeting people who are interested in spirituality, yoga, meditation, healing or other spiritual practices. I love having conversations about life, personal experiences and different spiritual paths. If you have been practising something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
4. German & Spanish Language Exchange
My son is learning German, and I'm learning Spanish. It would be nice to have someone who speaks either language and can help us practise through everyday conversations. Teaching experience is welcome but not essential.
5. Other Skills
Have another skill or talent? Feel free to tell me about it. We might have something interesting to work on together.
A Small Note: We don't need help with our Airbnb or online rental guests. We manage all of that ourselves. -
