Volunteer exchange in Scotland โ I’m Sam. I live in a stupidly beautiful rainforest on the sea. I live in a wonderful studio I build myself 30 years ago and have recently renovated it. It’s busy – trees to plant, logs to collect, DIY always lurking in the background, paths to maintain, beaches to clean, veg to grow, hens, cats… I have two nice caravans which have all you need. One for a couple and another for a single. I provide food, and bake bread almost daily – we eat lunch together and cook independently at night.
