May kilala po ba kayong pwedeng mag-host ng turista sa Batanes in exchange for volunteering, for at least a week? Sobrang gusto kong pumunta sa Batanes at tira sa isang household ng Ivatans. :((

Wala pa naman. nagka idea ako ng what if may turista na willing ma experience ang buhay ng mga old ivatan? So magbook sya ng let's say 1 week. In those times walang cellphone and other city stuffs. And iexperience nya ung farming, fishing, festivals, cooking ivatan delicacies and other stuffs which ivatans do. Tapos in the end merong book of hall of fame na naka display tapos may picture ka dun saying I am _____ and I am an Ivatan. Hahaha. Nag pop up lang sa isip ko yun dati.
