A three-year-old, community-based travel company We believe that culturally-conscious travel is the best way to discover the brilliant beauty of our country. That is why we promote the idea of home-stays, of close interaction with the locals of any destination, and of moving with them, and getting to know what they do, how they live, what food they prefer and how they celebrate festivals. Our focus is also on re-connecting with the lost and endangered traditional strands of our country - the arts, music, texts and more.
