Description
Hi!
If you're looking for a unique travel experience, I’d love to invite you to stay with me in the heart of Jambi City. I work as a government translator and interpreter, and in my free time, I host a small, casual English class at home and help out at local public schools.
We love welcoming travelers to join our classes just to chat, share stories, and hang out with the students. It’s completely informal and always a lot of fun for everyone involved.
What life here looks like:
Your Space: You’ll have your own private, air-conditioned room with a bathroom at my house.
Daily Hangouts: My friends and I run a cozy little coffee shop and restaurant next door. You can hang out there, relax, do your own work, or inspire us out with light ideas if you ever feel like picking up a shift for fun.
Home Project: If you enjoy organizing, I could definitely use a hand redecorating and sorting through my clutter at home!
Leisure & Culture: We can play tennis with my club a few times a week, try out Jambi's amazing local food, and visit the nearby Muaro Jambi temple complex—the largest ancient Buddhist temple site in Southeast Asia.
Extra Perks: Since I travel for my translation work, you’re welcome to tag along on my work trips around the region whenever it's possible. Occasionally, my friends might also invite you to be a guest speaker at local events to share your solo travel adventures.
Everything is completely flexible and voluntary—no strict schedules or heavy work. Just come as a friend, share your culture, and experience Jambi like a local.
