Join a local family for a cultural food experience. Each encounter is personal, involving only your party and the local family.

Upon meeting the local family and enjoying your welcome drink, you'll have the chance to assist in meal preparation. If you prefer, you can simply observe, jot down notes, or capture the moment with photographs. Just relax and savour the experience.

All local families speak at least basic English, providing an opportunity for engaging conversations about daily life in their country. Feel free to discuss anything you're curious about, including sharing insights about your own culture and homeland. Most host families are genuinely intrigued by stories from different cultures.

Your participation in Travel for a Cause is fully guaranteed. The experience is World Fair Trade Organization and Green & Fair certified.
