It was an amazing experience from the first moment! Mr. Achmad Tauvick and his wife will make sure you feel welcomed, comfortable and not hungry during your stay. 😋They prepare delicious local food from very early in the morning and will make sure you feel satisfied and good helping you with anything you need or request. The working hours were really flexible so you'll have time for yourself and for connecting with the students and people from the village. Also you can borrow bikes or the motorbike if you have a license, otherwise they will be happy to take you to visit many places around.

Mr. Taufik, his family, and the whole village were very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone who truly wants to see what living in a village is like. I hoped to to get to teach more English than I actually did but this was partially due to the weather and being there during the rainy season. Overall a great experience.

We had an incredible experience with Mr. Taufik's family. We received a wonderful welcome in a quiet and comfortable home. The village is beautiful, and the community offers peace and tranquility. Mr. Taufik offered us a great program focused on the children's education, Indonesian culture, and farming. He was attentive and very protective. Thank you to him and the entire village; we highly recommend this experience and will definitely return.

My experience at the community was totally amazing because I learned a lot about culture, cuisine, and sustainability. Mr. Achmad has an interesting program related to education for children, where he teaches ecological principles and English as a second language. In addition, the hospitality from him and his family was absolutely wonderful — they have such good souls. Highly recommended, 100 per cent!

It was a very new and unusual experience for me, i'm really grateful to Taufik and Rohma for providing me with everything i needed. thank you guys for being so understanding, patient, loving, and supportive all the time, you are friends & family to me! locals are also very nice, although sometimes it was unusual to communicate only by vibe with some people, yet there are few people i will remember forever. i do recommend this experience to everyone who wants to experience something new and close to the roots, as you gonna be surrounded by beautiful nature and people:)
