We are so happy to have experienced Balinese culture away from the crowds at Putras place. We learned about the traditions and ceremonies of Balinese people, ate delicious home-cooked local food every day and even got to see all the school kids in traditional Balinese uniform and got to wear one ourselves! Teaching the kids was so much fun and we received a very warm welcome. Putra is an amazing host and his family is so lovely! We felt looked after very well. He took us on a tour around east Bali to show us beautiful beaches, temples and snorkelling spots. Highly recommend this experience.

It was a great opportunity to have you here together and teach the students from elementary school. They look very anthusiastic. I am sure what you have done will bring a positive impact to our communities. Hope to see you here again someday. Thanks!

Best experience for immersing in the local Bali culture and nature! Putra was a really great host, always ensuring that our needs are catered for and being the best host and guide we could ever ask for. The kids at the school were all so participative and cute, even writing us letters and extending their appreciation. Every meal was well-made and delicious, the family was also so welcoming and we got to experience so much of the local culture that will be unforgettable. Will truly cherish my time here :)

The children are so enthusiastic and excited to learn, it's such a rewarding experience. The locals are so welcoming also, the village is great to explore. The experience itself was made by Putr and his family. I felt right at home from the moment I arrived. I had my own accommodation, with bathroom and kitchen area where I felt very safe. Every meal was so delicious, such a great way to try the local cuisine. Putr's knowledge and passion for Bali really shines and gives you a unique experience of the island. He goes out of his way to ensure you are enjoying yourself, thank you again!!

Hi Jens. Everything you have done for us means a lot. Children really like getting English lessons. Likewise, the farmers who are helped when working in the fields. We would like to say thank you for everything you have done. My family and I will open the door if you want to come back and rejoin the volunteering program again someday.

It was a really fun experience where we got to plant tomato plants, harvest cucumbers and much more. Meanwhile we worked in Elemantary School helping classes from 1-6 grade. We also got to experience a lot of local culture for example an attending a ceromony, trying different fruits you never heard of before and trying local drinks such as Tuak and Arak. Putra also really helped us planning our weekend as to where to go, and helped us rent scooters which was a big help. Can really recommend to everybody wondering about doing some volunteering work. Also nice with a private room and good food😊

Putra and his loving family welcome you with a warm heart. They show a kind of hospitality that we have forgotten in the West. You get your own room and bathroom and the home-cooked food is very nice. Also, Putra is a local journalist. His English is good and he knows Bali very well, so he can help you with almost anything. If you want to experience the real and local Bali, make an impact, and meet the kindest of people — this is the place to be.

It has been my first experience and I'm quite satisfied. I had the great opportunity to share this experience with other volunteers which has been wonderful. Putra's wife is an excellent chef and the room is good. The children are really king and welcoming, as well as the teachers, but you will teach only 2 hours in the morning and there's not so much to do in the nearby. Take into consideration that you have to pay for the transportations. Putra's family is nice and I'm happy to have helped them. Anyway it's fair to say that the fee doesn't go to any social or scholastic project.

The highlight of this experience was definitely the schools – the teachers and kids were incredibly kind and welcoming. However, outside of teaching, you're mostly on your own. Without a scooter, getting around is quite difficult. There was little to no real connection with Putra or his family; he brought meals and drove me to school, but there was no deeper interaction. I wasn't included in any cultural or farming activities as expected. Also, the extra fee isn't donated to a project as stated, but appears to go directly to the host. Thank you for this experience and I wish you the best !
