Review

Ever tried durian? On my trip to Indonesia I made fast friends with a guy named Aat, who one evening introduced me to this smelly fruit. 'Try it', he said. So we laid it on the patio, busted out a knife, cut it open, and gave it a whirl. The taste was great, though I had to hold my nose! Just one of the many amazing experiences I had getting to know this beautiful country.

We taught English for several weeks in central Java. The Indonesian people were some of the most engaging and welcoming anywhere (and I've traveled quite a bit). The students were easy to get attached to - we taught them everything from the 'ABCs' song to how to Red Rover.

And the Indonesian countryside...with the green rice paddies, volcanoes seeming to rise on all sides...truly incredible.

The support staff was also fantastic - very professional and thorough, and followed through right up to the very end when they went out of their way to make sure we all caught our various means of travel back home (train, bus, plane).

Overall, I would recommend this program to ANYONE!
