Description
Hello everyone!
I'm Yohana Lucky, though most people simply call me Yohana. At 20 years old, I’ve always had a deep passion for exploring new places and immersing myself in diverse cultures. Whether it’s trying new foods, learning about local customs, or picking up new languages, I love discovering what makes each place unique.
I come from Malang, East Java, a city rich in cultural heritage. Workawayers visiting our region can experience the art of batik-making, a centuries-old craft passed down through generations. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of batik tell the captivating stories of our history and identity. Inspired by this tradition, I created a volunteer program to help share these cultural treasures with others.
My family has always been warm and welcoming, eager to share our traditions with people from all walks of life. We love offering hands-on experiences, such as teaching guests how to make traditional foods and cakes. Each day, we provide three meals if the Workawayers working more than 3 hours in a day, and sometimes, we even harvest fresh ingredients from our garden to cook together. These activities not only bring us closer but also foster mutual understanding and appreciation for the diversity that makes our world so special.
I’ve also had the privilege of working with a range of educational institutions, from elementary schools to universities. These experiences have given both me and the Workawayers valuable insights into different education systems and cultures, deepening my appreciation for the varied ways in which people learn and highlighting the importance of diverse perspectives.
At the heart of my journey is a commitment to embracing diversity, learning from others, and sharing the beauty of my heritage. Whether through exploring local traditions, engaging in community programs, or welcoming visitors into our home, I believe cultural exchange enriches lives and builds lasting connections that transcend borders.
I’m truly excited about the opportunity to collaborate on projects, work as a team, and expand our knowledge through shared experiences.

Help
Come join me in teaching English to students from kindergarten through university, as well as engaging with local English clubs and communities in Malang, East Java. This experience goes beyond academics—you'll take part in cultural exchanges and lively discussions on a range of topics. Your presence will inspire students to stay excited about learning English. It’s a rewarding opportunity to make a positive impact while fully immersing yourself in a vibrant and diverse educational setting. Most of our activities will focus on speaking practice, interactive games, and connecting with the local community.
The project is searching for passionate volunteers who are excited about the pharmacy field and want to join an upcoming university event. You'll have the chance to connect with pharmacy students, share insights, play some fun games, and motivate them to speak English, since it's such an important global language. The event will take place in September, so if you're up for it, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Our accommodations feature clean and secure rooms that may not be large, but are cozy and comfortable for a good night's rest. We offer the option to share rooms with other workawayers, promoting a friendly and communal atmosphere. Of course, if you prefer more privacy, we fully understand and can arrange for individual accommodations. Additionally, we provide at least two delicious local meal daily, ensuring you're well-fed and energized throughout your stay with us.
What else ...
Navigating our area is effortless with Grab or Gojek readily available for transportation. Should you wish to visit Bromo Mountain, Ijen Mountain, or Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, I can connect you with reputable tour agents I trust. During weekends, my family and I often explore fresh locales such as hot springs or waterfalls, sometimes accompanied by workawayers. These outings are a delightful opportunity to bond while discovering new and scenic destinations together.

She is kind, funny and she is willing to teach us her culture. On top of that she is surrounded by generous and friendly people: her family, her friend Yulia, her guide contact.
You’ll see the real Java and lifestyle during your stay.
