* Food   Package 
The cost includes a Food package, which means a certain amount is allotted for your food and beverage, it should be enough to cover your whole trip. As our meals are family style the meals will be shared to be able to try as much as possible, no restrictions to what you want to try, everyone can order more. But there will be one check at the end of your meal which your host will pay to make things simple. 

If the food supplement goes over the budget you will be asked to donate money more to it.

If the Food supplement is under the budget you will be refunded the difference.

Adult Beverages will be kept on a personal separate tab for everyone and deducted from your rebate of the food package.

​Any food purchased on own  will obviously add more to your rebate.  For example: If you buy some fresh made potato chips from a street vendor with your own money, it obviously is not deducted from food package.  

If for some reason you skip a meal with the group (not feeling well, ate too many snacks, etc...) then you will not have that amount deducted for the meal.   


For any food allergies and vegetarian choices they will be considered please inform host ahead of time, so he can make arrangements.
