Meeting a local family at their eating table is a cultural food adventure. You enter a completely different world. Each meeting is personal, with only your own family/party and the local family.

After meeting the local family and your first drink, you'll start helping the family with preparing the meal. Just watching, making notes and taking pictures is also possible. Just enjoy!

All local families speak at least some basic English, having the possibility to chat and learn about daily life in this specific country. Talk with the host family about anything you would like to know, including sharing some things about yourself and your home country. Most local families find it very interesting to hear about other cultures! Travel for a Cause is 100% guaranteed. The experiences are World Fair Trade Organization certified.
