I stayed in Bello Bungalows, one of the homestays that are part of the home. It is beautiful place and I have heard from other volunteers that other places are equally beautiful and nice 🙌 My tasks were connected with taking photos of experiences and rooms that are in homestays so then it could be used for promotion. I had extended my stay because it was that amazing, Mr Ahyek made me feel needed, safe, engaged into community in culture. His vision of tourism in this region is really something inspiring!

There is no word to describe how amazing this journey in volunteering has been. I have spent a lovely time doing this program. Mr Ahyak was very helpful and made sure to treat us well. So did my host family. They have welcomed me as if I was one of their own. I had to teach two hours a day English to children between 5 to 14 years old. And the teaching was in the afternoon so I had the whole morning free to do what I wanted to. I would definitely recommend to live this life changing experience.

Ahyak and his family (as well as my homestay family) were very welcoming, and the hospitality was next level. My jobscope was photography for homestays in the home to update booking.com, airbnb etc and i even had time to go on day trips on the days that i was working. I had a wonderful experience exploring the home with the other volunteers as well! Overall, the best first volunteering experience and I would highly recommend

I had an incredible experience, living with a very caring and attentive family in their homestay. I never went hungry, traditional dishes, snacks, fruits, special to the home! I explored the amazing mountains, waterfalls, beaches and rice fields! I really lived like a local here, going to the gym each morning with my host, local markets, camping, family members homes for meals, family parties, multiple weddings, so many experiences that a tourist would never encounter. The English teaching was very relaxed and flexible, the kids were eager and enthusiastic. An amazing community of people!

This was a truly a life changing experience. You are treated like family and u live amoungst locals. U meet international travellers with all kinds of stories. I learned a lot here and I would come back to visit. I want to thank Mr. Ahyak, Pat and his family, and everyone I met along the way. The teaching hours were very reasonable but u need to prepare ahead of time. The only thing I would say is to talk to host to arrange u a ride there and back because being in the harbour alone is not easy. 10/10 recommend

This volunteer was truly my favourite I ever did!! You get totally into the local life and experience so many new things every day. The work was very easy only about 2h a day and made really fun. Ahyak is truly a great host and cares so much for the volunteers. We gathered most of the nights together and just played games, sang or just enjoyed our time. My „hostfamily“ was also the best and I even had my own bungalow. I truly hope I can come back one day. Thank you:))

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.
