The project is the best host you can expect. This was my first experience with the worldpackers and I must say that I am completely satisfied with everything. I spent a week around the village helping in daily tasks, learning how to cook indonesian food from the hands of housewives, learned about the project's food forest and permaculture project and teaching english to him as well as children through the village! If you want to immers yourself into real nature and the authentic local experience of Java, this is your volunteering job to take! You won't regret it!

My time with the project was great! He's an extremely nice and positive person who made conversation easy. He introduced me to so many local plants and vegetables and I learned a ton about traditional indonesian food. The activities were very diverse and even when it was raining we found ways to spend our time well. Visiting the local kindergartens and playing volleyball was great way of getting in touch with more local people. I can recommend this opportunity to any volunteer looking for a truly authentic experience.

We learned so much not only about living from and with nature but about how local people feel and think, about traditional food culture and domestic plants. We had a lot of fun and would totally recommend it! Thank you the project!!🌟

We had an incredibly fun time staying with the project (espacially while playing cards). To experience how he lives in harmony with nature. We both learned much about sustainability and permaculture. He showed us for example how to make coffe, fried bananas or Cassafaflour and so much more, it was very interesting and we learned so many new things. We felt totaly welcomed from the begining and became real friends :)

I had a truly wonderful week staying with the project! He's incredibly funny and embodies authentic Indonesian culture. Living in his village was an amazing experience; he generously shared so much about traditional food and local culture. I also had a fantastic time helping out on his farm, where I enjoyed an abundance of healthy, new foods. the project is genuinely a good person, showing great care for the elderly in his village, respect for his father, and kindness towards all volunteers. For an authentic taste of Indonesian culture, I highly recommend staying here!
