Sanjay in Orissa on India's eastern coast offers
EarthFoot's innovative "Eco-Ethno Spirituality with the
Rangers Backpacker Community near Puri" program. He writes us:
I am looking for people who can design beach trekking and bushwalking trails, look
after the coffee shop, train us about surfing. The time of stay depends upon the visitor.
I offer free stay and food (like lunch and dinner only). There are risk of mosquitos,
insects only. I am looking for freethinkers and nature lovers. Alcohol is prohibited. Rest
is ok.
