  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  You will be staying in rural Papua New Guinea in a small village and surrounded by a bigger village where people don’t see too many foreigners so there will be a natural curiosity . There will be opportunities to meet lots of people, take hikes and tours around the area to experience the largely untouched beauty and a view of how subsistent people exist. There are surrounding provinces to visit quite close by. One of the fun things in this particular experience would be travelling up the mountain by car, buying fresh strawberries from the top of the mountain and finding/ buying timber from roadside sellers to continue building the house.
  
  You will be extremely nutritious and tasty diet of root vegetables and greens with some meat. The markets in town also have a great variety of cheap juicy fruit. There are also supermarkets and chemist should you require something particular.
