Dreams

Eco-tourism is a little bit of what I do. To share what I fell in love with when we moved to the country. To share new experiences with people that get very little exposure, or if any at all, of what living in the country really is all about. It has many benefits. When you know you are getting guests to stay, you are compelled to clean up that area that you’ve been putting off for a while now. You work a little harder on the garden beds and the house stays in order to prepare for the guests. You get a few projects off the ground, ones that you can include your guests in. You spend some extra time planning and cooking home-style meals for them. I’ve still got a way to go before I live out all the dreams I have for our little eco-tourism business, but in the meantime I’m taking one step closer and gaining more experience in the field with each new family or set of students that come my way. One day in the future we will have the external accommodation, the craft shop where I showcase the produce from the garden and all things country homemade, the horse ride trail, the four wheeler track, the tour up the mountain, the tea garden, the children’s playground and the list goes on. Some I can do now and some I can’t but the aim is to get there eventually. As long as you can dream it, you can achieve it.
