Explore rural Surigao in Mindanao while making community impact


The experience

You will have enough time to explore the natural attractions in the area (such as the islands, mountains, cold springs, and waterfalls, etc.) while helping us set up our homestay business (housekeeping & digital marketing), help in the farm, and meet the local kids for language exchange (charity/ nonformal education). Our place will be a nice stopover before you go on your trips either to Siargao or Davao. You can fly/ sail from Manila or Cebu.
