The Experience

basically, we need you to help a pair of father-son duo building two Balinese-concept "Villa", two hostel-themed buildings, a permaculture garden, and a mini waste incinerator. most of the time it's the father who is working, and he is 70 already. so, a good pair of hands will be very helpful. the idea is to build a sustainable guest house right in the most culturally and historically significant village in Bali.

It was my first experience with the worldpackers and I had such an amazing time. Antonius is super friendly and nice and he helped me navigate so many things. The owner of the villa and the helping lady Wella are also very kind. I learnt about gardening methods, wooden construction, painting and much more. I've made great memories in this place and will always remember it ❀️

I had a really great time at Taro! The place is located in a quiet and peaceful area – perfect for slowing down and enjoying nature. Anton is a super helpful, kind, and funny person. He showed us around the area and took great care of me when I got sick, which I really appreciated. We built a jacuzzi together, which was a lot of fun – even though it got pretty exhausting at times. Overall, it was a beautiful experience in a lovely place with nice people.

It was a really nice experience in Taro. It is quite and full in the nature. You have to deal with many tasks of the locals to create a good space for human and nature. Even when the task were sometimes hard it was really nice to see the result. Anton was really kind and open minded. He welcomed everyone with open arms. Also everyone else, who worked here, enjoys to deal with you and give you a feeling like home.
