Hello, I am Adik!

Now that I have settled in my home, Solo - Central Java. I've decided to share my passion and experiences with the younger generation by setting up a special program called the "Floating Hotel Course" . It is a preparatory course for students who will work on cruise ships and hotels.

Our program is unique. We have turned our Ethnic Javanese House to a boarding house, where students from different parts of Indonesia come live and train in a creative Non-formal setting and gain the skills they need, to be ready before they go on board.

If you want to experience the real life of Indonesian families, and live an authentic village experience, but still be very close to the city, then we are the right choice for you.

Even though we are only 15 minutes away from the city center, our neighborhood tries to preserve its traditions' and cultures' So you will be able to see some traditional and cultural celebrations that have disappeared in bigger cities. We also might be able to accompany you to local weddings, birth celebrations and the famous Wayang.

Central Java has many beautiful places to visit, such as Kraton, Solo Palace, Temples, Panoramas and much more. It is also a good point to travel from, you can easily visit many Indonesian cities from here.

We prepare our students for interviews and teach them marine English. In return for staying at our house, we would like you to help us with (Max. 4 - 5 hours a day):
~ Speaking English with our students OR
~ If you have any experience in the hospitality industry such as hotels, restaurants, Cruise ships, it would be great if you could share your experiences and skills with our students.

We also look for people who can help us in marketing our school/ program, so If you have any marketing/social media skills join us too.

We are open to all option, as long as you are someone who's fun and happy to have conversations with our students. Don't hesitate to contact us :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason I am on Couchsurfing is because I have been lucky enough to travel and meet people from different cultures and I realize how important and eye-opening travelling can be. So until my students get to travel one day, I want to help broaden their perspective on the world by letting them meet you and hear about your stories.

As long as you are respectful of our culture , We will be happy to host you and show you around. Even our neighbors will be excited to meet you and you'll experience real Indonesian hospitality.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You'll experience real Indonesian hospitality & the (traditional) culture.
