    Description

    Hi, I'm Romi and I live with my wife, my son and my two dogs in Bukit Lawang.

    Our house is located on the edge of the jungle and far from the city. We have a large plot of land on the banks of the river where we wish to build a reception area for those who want to recharge their batteries in nature.

    My dream is to create a place of exchange close to nature. A place where you can fish or garden in a friendly space far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

    I am alone to manage this immense land and I need help to make my dream come true. I ask different things depending on each person's skills. tasks can range from gardening to building new rooms to accommodate my future guests.

    For the moment I can welcome you in my garden, I provide tents to accommodate you and I leave a kitchen at your disposal. In addition, I will give you all my advice to make the most of your stay in Bukit Lawang.

    Our place is under construction so it will appeal to people who love adventure and the simple life. The internet connection can be bad. The nearest town is 10 minutes away by scooter. with pleasure, we will find you a means of transport to join us. Contact me for more information on this wonderful place, I will tell you its long history.

    Also, I can put you in touch with guides to go on a trek in search of oran utan.

    Important to clarify that we are inclusive. Everyone is welcome to come to us.

    I look forward to welcoming you, thank you for your time :)
