I had an AMAZING EXPERIENCE here! ❤ probably the best way i could be introduced to Bali. Anton is an incredible host, and now a friend :) He's easy to get along with, funny, friendly and very relaxed! I spent 4 weeks helping with social media and it was truly a taste of the real bali, Anton helped teach and show me so many things about Balinese culture, the spiritual philosophy and how the locals really live. I even learned some Indonesian and i got to see and experience so so much! If your looking for a real, wholesome bali exerience, this is the perfect place. Also the site is BEAUTIFUL.

This was my first solo trip and my first time in Southeast Asia, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Antonious was an amazing host, open, thoughtful, and someone you can genuinely talk to. He gave me the space to listen and understand, guiding me through Balinese culture in all its lights and shadows. I'm really grateful for everything I learned during my month in Bali.

If you want to experience the true local lifestyle, I can't recommend enough this volunteer opportunity! Taro is a beautiful, peaceful town surrounded by nature. The people are very friendly and always willing to help. During my stay, I had the opportunity to participate in Galungan and see the importance of tradition in Balinese culture! Special mention to Anton, who made me feel so welcome. We had some really interesting talks, he took us to do trekking, made us try some delicious (and a little spicy 🥵) food, and we laughed a lot! Such an amazing person, I'm gonna miss u 🖤

It has been wonderful being here with Antonius and the other volunteers. The vibe and the place are always good and funny. It's an easy-going and slow life experience that makes you understand the way of the true Balinese living. Taro people are unique and always ready to help or have a chat. I will definitely go back if I ever get to travel to Bali again. Terima kasih!

It was an awesome experience in Taro. This place is perfect if you want to see how real balinese people live far away from the touristy areas. I enjoyed the gatherings with the locals a lot, they are all super nice as well as Antony and the talks we had together. He is a very ambitious person with lots of ideas and hope very much, he can fullfill them. I will very much miss this place and hope to come back at some point!
