Most people have dreams; only a few are fortunate enough to live long enough to realize them. Ricky is building a heavenly retreat in the heart of the wild forest. During my stay, I truly felt at home, as nature is my home, and Ricky wholeheartedly respects Mother Earth, living in harmony with her. Every square meter you step on in this land represents an immense amount of hard work, and Ricky is gracious enough to guide you to the most suitable work area. If you yearn to deeply connect with nature and contribute to fulfilling his dream, you'll be helping make our world a better place too.
