EXPERIENCE A DAY IN THE LIFE

The Foundation’s A Day in the Life program epitomizes our passion
for cultural exchange. Featured on most O.A.T. adventures, your A
Day in the Life will bring you far off the tourist’s path and into the
heart of a village or town. A typical day might include a walking
tour, a meeting with a community leader, a shopping excursion in
a local market, and a Home-Hosted meal. The visits also support
local entrepreneurial activities like handcraft production, for
example, that provide the village with a source of income.

To provide truly unforgettable experiences, we’ve fostered
longstanding relationships with the village leaders who welcome
our travelers into their communities—and these invaluable
friendships have been years in the making.
