Description
Hello and welcome 🌿
My name is Ari, and together with my family I run a small farmstay in a rural village in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia.
We live a simple village life, surrounded by rice fields, hills, and nature. Our days are calm and follow the rhythm of the village. We believe in slow living, meaningful routines, and genuine cultural exchange rather than busy schedules.
On our farm, we grow bananas, durian, and pineapples, and we care for a few animals as part of our daily life. We have a friendly dog, ducks, and fish, which are all part of the farm environment and village routine.
This is not a business focused on tourism or luxury. It is a family home and a place where we share our everyday life. Alongside the farmstay, we also create simple vlogs that document village life, nature, gardening, and daily moments. The vlogs are relaxed and natural — no pressure, no acting, just real life.
Our family values respect, kindness, and honesty. We enjoy sharing stories, learning from different cultures, and spending time together in simple ways. Evenings are usually quiet, and days are shaped by the garden, weather, and daily needs.
If you are someone who enjoys calm environments, simple routines, nature, and being around plants and animals, you may feel at home here 🌿

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At our place, you’ll have the opportunity to exchange languages—we can help you learn Indonesian and Sundanese, which is the local culture of our region. We also love cooking, so we can share traditional Indonesian and Sundanese recipes, and we’d be excited to learn your favorite recipes too. You'll get an authentic experience of village life, including farming and exploring the local culture!
Help
The help here is simple, flexible, and part of our daily village life. We are not looking for speed or perfection, but for people who are comfortable being part of our daily activities in front of the camera.
Help may include:
Assisting with daily garden tasks (watering plants, light harvesting, caring for bananas, durian, or pineapples)
Helping with feeding ducks and fish and basic animal care
Light cleaning and keeping shared spaces tidy
Joining us on camera for our vlogs, sharing daily activities, conversations, and simple moments together
We usually ask for around 4–5 hours of help per day, depending on the day, weather, and activities.
There is no strict schedule. Life here follows a slow living rhythm, with calm days, no rush, and no pressure.
This experience is best suited for travellers who:
Are comfortable appearing on camera
Enjoy simple village life and outdoor activities
Appreciate calm routines and flexibility
Are open to sharing daily life naturally
