Teaching and Living in Lombok: an Experience That Changed My View of The World
Lucas, a traveler from Brazil, spent two weeks volunteering as an English teacher in Lombok. He describes the respect of the local students, the hospitality of Mr. Jumirim's family, and everyday life in the community, where he felt at home. He shares his challenges and joys—from teaching through games, to eating with his right hand, to unforgettable moments with children by the sea. His experience shows that volunteering in Lombok is not just about teaching, but also about discovering a new culture, openness, and genuine connection with people.
