About Us
In one of the great holy books, it is said: "O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another."
Cultures, nations, histories, traditions exist so we learn from each other and try to see everything in different perspectives. The more we learn and feel the differences, the more we enjoy being a part of this world.
We, LokalBond, take the mission of creating bridges between people and cultures, through what we call, at-home experiences. We believe that we become our true selves when we are at home or when we are made feel at home. Sharing, creating, learning and teaching at home form a unique bond, when we are our true selves.
Come as a guest, leave as a friend!
