Adventure seekers welcome to explore the hidden gems of Tapanuli, Sumatra

  Beschreibung

  Hello everyone!
  
  I’m excited to announce that I’ve reopened my Workaway account and am ready to host travellers again! After spending the past year in Australia completing my studies and research, I’m now back home in Sumatra. If you’ve seen my low response rate or rating, please don’t worry — I had deactivated my account during that time.
  
  I’m a 29-year-old full-time farmer and part-time researcher living in Tapanuli, North Sumatra, Indonesia. I stay on my farm in a small, cozy cabin surrounded by rice fields and tropical crops — banana, coconut, mango, avocado, papaya, and more. The farm is about 150 km from Lake Toba and just two hours from Sibolga beach. It’s a peaceful, non-touristy area, nestled among forests, rivers, and the quiet rhythms of rural life.
  
  At the moment, I don’t have a fixed project, but there’s always something to do around the farm — from helping me renovate my cabin to tending the snack fruit garden or the paddy field (only if you’d like to try it!). You’ll also have plenty of time to work on your own projects, rest, or explore the surrounding area.
  
  Because of the cabin’s small size and local cultural norms, I can only host one male volunteer at a time. I hope you can understand this cultural consideration.
  
  If you’re looking for an authentic farmstay experience in a remote Sumatran village — far from the tourist trail — I’d be very happy to host you. Come learn, share, and experience the life here in the Tapanuli highlands!
  
  I’m looking forward to welcoming you soon!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  As an environmental researcher, I'm passionate about collaborating and sharing knowledge to protect our planet. I also hope we can connect together and feel like a close-knit community, rather than strangers. During your stay at my cabin house, you'll experience a sense of home and have access to everything you need to unwind and relax.
  
  In addition to providing a comfortable stay, I offer opportunities for engaging in activities that promote a slower pace of life. You can indulge in nourishing meals, practice yoga and meditation, and embrace the tranquility of the surroundings. By staying with me, you'll also have the chance to immerse yourself in our rich traditional culture. Learn planting rice paddy, explore our snake fruit garden, partake in traditional ceremonies, savor our local cuisine, and marvel at the beauty of the natural landscapes that surround us.
  
  Let's come together, collaborate, and make a positive impact on our environment while embracing the vibrant cultural heritage of the region.
