Hi, I'm Elizabeth, but you can call me Kak Liz or just Liz! I'm from Maumere, Flores, where I started an eco-homestay in 2018 and a Flores restaurant in 2019. I love sharing the traditional Flores lifestyle – river baths, organic food, and the beauty of nature. With my background in tourism, midwifery, teaching, and dance, I'm excited to combine my passions and welcome you!
