April invited us into her home, her family, her neighbourhood - her whole life. She and her team - Ayu and Hendra - were there every step of the way and they went beyond the Indonesian hospitality. Even though it was my first volunteer experience, I feel like I picked a very special and rare gem. Everyday, they had surprises and so many adventures in store for us. It can't get more local and authentic like this. Be prepared to experience authentic rural Java, be flexible and open and you'll have memories in your heart for the rest of your life.

I had a wonderful time with April and Ayu at the eco village! I had the chance to try many local foods (no sambal for breakfast 😂) and visit hidden natural gems, two waterfalls and two temples, that I wouldn't otherwise have been able to see on my own. I also got to see Mount Semeru at sunrise, absolutely incredible! It looks otherworldly! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, I felt at ease and right at home! If you're in East Java, this is your chance to have an authentic Indonesian experience that you don't wanna miss. Thank you so much April and Ayu, see you again! 😄

Thank you dear Terrae Team for welcoming me in your homes! I've truly had an amazing time and could learn so many things, about food/culture/people/customs/religion and my stay helped me to develop a better environmental understanding. The living conditions might be a little simpler, but I will guarantee you that you will meet great people there. Big Thanks to Gi, Akyas and my Host April!!! I miss you guys and want to come back as soon as possible 💕
