  Description

  Hello, my name is Faqih. I work as a school administrator, and I also teach English to people in my community and help them learn to speak up english.
  
  I need a person or couple who can help me practice to improve my English. I am currently creating my own course site for children to learn English and I will really appreciate creative ideas to develop it.
  
  You will also teach English and share culture with students in the secondary schools.
  
  I live in a village in the hills above Cianjur city. It is 20 minutes from Cianjur by Grab car or local mini bus.

  Accommodation

  Workawayers will stay at my house, in a single, comfortable bedroom. I will provide local food for them such as rice, meat, and vegetables, and they are free to use the washing machine. My house located nearby various plantation with excellent view, and it is a perfect place for morning exercise such as jogging or going for a walk.
  
  Because I live in the hills, the temperature here is cooler than in cities like Jakarta. There are rarely mosquitoes here! The mountain view is very beautiful and you can hike at the mountain or go down to the larger city of Cianjur.
  
  I have hosted many Workawayers and they become part of my family here, and also have become friends.

  What else ...

  My place is located in Ciputri, near Cianjur, south of Bogor. You could come to Cianjur on the bus from Jakarta or from Bandung. I own a motorcycle, and can pick you up with it. Or you can take a Grab car, or even a local angkot mini bus (take the blue angkot that goes toward Cipanas), from Cianjur city to my home. It is 20 minutes from Cianjur to here.
  
  While you are here I could help you to see various tourists sites such as:
  
  Cipanas Palace/Istana Cipanas.
  Cipanas is a nearby town easy to get to on the local mini bus. Shop there or visit the local historical presidential house where you could enjoy its beautiful design and learning the local histories.
  
  Plantation Field:
  The Puncak Area offers a breathtaking, beautiful view of massive tea plantation field you could enjoy. There are various activities you could do such as: horse riding, exploring and harvesting the tea plantation, and paragliding. The local restaurants also offer various cuisine both locals and internationals.
  
  Cibodas National Park:
  For you who like to do Outdoor activity, you will enjoy the beauty of this National Park, where you could do some tracking to the summit of Mount Gede/Pangrango. You will come across the natural hot spring and crystal clear river in this National Park.
  
  Gunung Padang:
  A stone age relic recently discovered in Cianjur area. One of its kind in the locals, and it is presumably older than the Pyramid in Egypt. A must see attraction if you visit Cianjur.
