What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe best way to know a place is to know the people, their beliefs, traditions, lifestyle, and get fully involved with them.
We can share our travel stories, about our lifestyle, cook together, discuss books or maybe even watch a movie.

I can share stories and my experience of working with the Bhil community and how we are working on Holistic Rural Development in Jhabua. The work that is being done here on sustainable development is incredible.

I can help you with computers or academics in case someone needs.

Would love to interact with all your family if you are comfortable and spend some quality time.

I am a minimalist as I quit my job few years ago and live in a gurukul with some of my stuff. So wont bother you with much demand and prefer a simple home-like environment. The simpler the better.
