VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AT SIMARASOK CULTURE VILLAGE WEST SUMATRA , 14 DAYS COMMUNITY IMMERSION & DIGITAL PROMOTION

Hi, I'm Zahra, my experience in Indonesia's tourism industry has given me the opportunity to explore and design journeys across different parts of Indonesia. From the mountains of Sumatra to the islands of eastern Indonesia, from traditional villages to remote communities, I have learned that the most memorable travel experiences are rarely about how many places we visit.

STAY CLOSE TO THE COMMUNITY. SLEEP CLOSE TO NATURE. During the 14-day Simarasok International Volunteer Program, accommodation is an important part of the experience. Rather than staying in a conventional hotel, you’ll have the opportunity to experience village life through two different accommodation styles: a local homestay, where you can stay close to the community and experience everyday life, and village glamping, offering a comfortable way to enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings and sleep close to nature. Both accommodation options are located in or near the village, allowing you to stay connected to the local community while enjoying the beautiful landscapes and tranquil atmosphere of West Sumatra. ✨ This is a chance to stay close to the community, experience local life and contribute something meaningful while discovering a less-travelled side of Indonesia. Come ready to learn, share your skills, create together and leave Simarasok with new experiences, connections and a deeper understanding of West Sumatran culture. ❓If you’re curious about the volunteer experience or would simply like to know a little more about what your stay in Simarasok will be like, feel free to reach out to me anytime, I’d be happy to share more and help you feel prepared for the experience!
