We've been here for a week, but it felt like a lifetime! We were so welcomed by Pad and his family, joining them for iftar and getting an insight in their lives. Teaching English was very nice, only two hours a day and the students were really kind! They also showed us around the city and we had such a good time with everyone. The kindness from everyone was amazing ❤️ Also a shoutout to Ahyak, he's a very interesting person that puts a lot of effort and passion into the community. Inspiring to see!!!

My experience at the home was absolutely unforgettable. I was received with warmth and kindness that made me feel like part of the family from the very beginning. I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people and participate in various activities in the city. I also had the chance to teach English classes and the students welcomed me with enthusiasm, we even shared moments outside of class hours. It's definitely a space that I highly recommend. I hope to return someday and relive the beautiful memories and warmth of the people I shared these two weeks with.

These 3 weeks with Ahyak's family were truly rewarding. In fact, I was supposed to stay only 2 weeks at the beginning but I extended my stay to stay with them. I was able to meet so many interesting people and to learn so much about Indonesian culture. I have worked in a restaurant to help the staff speak English, I felt welcomed and respected. On my days off i was able to visit the island a little bit, it's truly a paradise there. It feels like I have a family in the home now so thank you so much for these past weeks 🤗✨️

3 weeks with Lisa recorded thousands of beautiful memories. She is very sociable and gets along well with everyone. Her tears on the last day were enough to show that she loves us and we love her.

It was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers. I had a great time and the kids are the best. It was my first time teaching English but I had a lot of fun. I recommend planning each lesson in advance. Other than that you get your privacy in your own house or room and they also host music nights which are fun. It is a big the home, so each experience can differ quite a lot depending on where you stay and what work you do. But I am very happy with how things worked and had a great experience. Thank you to everyone!

I had an incredible time at the homestay - this was such an eye opening experience! The family were so welcoming and I was provided with everything I could possibly need. My host took me on some very interesting day trips as well and I felt like part of the family. The teaching side of this homestay experience was a bit chaotic which was the only downside- I would definitely recommend going in with a plan for teaching English as I did feel a bit out of my comfort zone.

Very welcoming. Amazing clean little house to stay in, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom. With air con and hot water. Expect some bugs and some geckos. Amazing home cooked meals 3 times a day.2hours work a day teaching English to local children. wifi very slow, recommend having Indonesian Sim. Respect the culture and the loudspeaker calls to prayer 5 times a day. No cafes, many warungs and indomarts. The people are happy and curious as they don't see many tourists. I recommend making a program with the teacher as you run your own program. Heaps of fun, beautiful children.

Una experiencia bastante gratificante que sin duda recomendaria a cualquiera que quiera sumergirse de fondo en la cultura local de la casa. Trabajo bastante relajado y días muy diversos con muchas actividades por hacer. Me llevo en el corazón los eventos musicales que nos prepararon y las excursiones que hicimos.

Es una de las mejores experiencia que he vivido ! Poder hospedarte con uno de los anfitriones en una de las diferentes villas que conforman el área, me permitió estar más cerca de la comunidad local y poder aprender de ellos y de su diario vivir. Conocí tanta gente hermosa que me abrió las puertas de sus casas, compartió sus historias de vidas, sus costumbres su comida y una taza de café . Una de las cosas más importantes es que a través del voluntariado ayudas a que una familia genere ingresos sin que el turismo sea tan invasivo, si no que lo hace de una manera sustentable.
