Hi I'm Ari, I used to work as a guide for canoeing and cycling tours in Bali. Since 2019, I have decided to go back to my hometown and start a new life as a farmer. I live in a small town named Cianjur with my younger brother (Uyung) and a cat. Recently I and Uyung restructure 1 hectares of land in the rural village near the mountain. We got planted many bananas, guavas, onion, durian and some other vegetables. We have an idea to share our place with workawayers and start this place to have a touch from you guys.
We need you guys for certain kind of work such as gardener, cooking teacher, videographer (with your own equipment), DIY and building projects, or English teaching as simple as that.
And we offer you a trip once a week at least with crew of us.

Cianjur is such a beautiful little town with underrated complete tourist attractions, why I said that because Cianjur has Volcano if we want to hike (yes we can), waterfalls, rivers, lake, beach, large scale of plantation that maybe you couldn't find it in any other country. there are plenty of activities that you could do around my town, such as visiting a floating village, or tracking to a nature, cooking class, explore the national park, or do some of cultural things (martial art, music, dance, etc).
