Description
Hello! We’re a mixed couple living on the remote, beautiful island of Karimunjawa, Indonesia. Together with our four-year-old twins and new born, we enjoy a laid-back, nature-connected lifestyle and are looking for people who work remotely and can help us out in exchange for housing.
We run a small hospitality business and are well connected with both the local community and travelers visiting the island. Life here is both peaceful and chaotic, social and quiet, relaxing and adventurous; and we love it that way. We hope to find someone who will feel just as comfortable and happy in this dynamic setting. -

Help
Rather than general help, we are looking for people who bring proven skills in one clear area and can help us complete defined projects during their stay.
Are you either:
- Dutch native and love to play with our twins a couple of hours a day
- A gardener (any language) and help improving our garden + teaching our staff
- A painter (any language) who can help us make art
- Good with your camera and writing to help us with content for our online channels (any language)
- Looking for a VA/Marketing freelancer who can help with creating designs in Canva, writing and improving website texts, developing FAQ pages and structured content, and supporting communication and content planning.
💡 What’s it like here?
We can host several volunteers at once, though sometimes you may also be here on your own.
You’ll be living in a beautiful island environment, sharing daily life with our family, connecting with locals, and the guest coming and going on the island.
✨ We’re looking for someone who is:
Proactive, independent, social, culturally sensitive, and open to island life.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to welcome you into our family and projects here in Karimunjawa! 🌺 -
