Culture & Community
The Culture & Community experience invites backpackers to explore Indonesia’s living traditions through everyday interactions, shared routines, and cultural exchanges led by local families, youth groups, and community hosts. These activities offer a warm and immersive way to understand how people in Lombok live, celebrate, create, and connect — far from commercial tourism spaces.
Backpackers can expect simple, enjoyable activities such as joining cooking sessions with host families, visiting traditional villages, participating in school programs, learning local crafts, attending cultural ceremonies, or spending a day in rural communities. Each activity is flexible, light, and designed to welcome travelers of all backgrounds — no teaching experience or technical skills required.
By blending cultural discovery, community interaction, and shared learning, this category offers travelers the chance to build genuine friendships, experience authentic hospitality, and see Indonesia through the eyes of the people who call it home. It’s meaningful, grounded, and human-centered travel made accessible for everyone.
CULTURE & COMMUNITY
What We Stand For
We believe cultural encounters should inspire genuine connection — not charity-driven interactions. Through community-led activities, backpackers engage as learners and guests, supporting neighborhoods that open their homes, stories, and traditions with sincerity.
By choosing experiences shaped by local wisdom, travelers help strengthen community-owned tourism, uphold cultural continuity, and nurture exchanges that benefit both sides. These moments create room for shared meals, language learning, and daily companionship — ensuring each encounter respects local dignity and offers backpackers a grounded understanding of Indonesian life.
