Living in Kalimantan
Kalimantan is expansive and green, from Banjarmasin's floating markets and Pontianak's riverside life to Samarinda and Balikpapan's resource economy. Teachers can experience Dayak culture, wildlife, and city centres that feel more spread out than Java. It is ideal for teachers who want a deeper, less-touristy view of Indonesia and are comfortable with longer travel between centres.
Weather
Warm tropical weather year-round. Expect a wetter season and a drier season, with local variation.
Expat community
New teachers can connect through local international communities, language exchanges, and city-based social groups.
Neighbourhood tips
Teachers arrange their own place to live. Start with a short stay near your centre, then compare rental options and neighbourhoods that suit your commute and routine.
