This trip was truly a special experience for me because it was my first solo trip. The tremendous amount of kindness, support, and love from everyone made it unforgettable. Asih and her family, the organization team, and the locals all made me feel extremely comfortable and at home at all times. Asih and her family were accommodating, understanding, and supportive of my needs. The trip had the perfect balance between deep cultural immersion and fascinating cultural attractions!

Experience nature, culture and local food all in one trip! The hosts Haider, Asih and the whole team from the organization made us feel welcome long before the arrival at the airport. The trip is for you if you want to see all the most popular spots of East-Java in one go. The hotel was very comfortable, the food delicious - you won't be able to survive without it after the trip - but the most epic thing about the grip are the people you meet along the way.

I had such a fantastic time at the organization. I really loved connecting deeply with the local community, learning about the culture and gaining a better understanding of the challenges that the organization is working to address. I also learned so much about sustainability and permaculture from the host Asih, who is an incredibly strong and inspiring woman. She made the experience so special and I had so much fun throughout my time here. I would genuinely recommend this to anyone as it's an experience I won't forget! Thank you to everyone at the organization!

Asih is an incredible woman, I would recommend any experience involving her to a fellow traveller. Her, Hadiara and the rest of the family went above and beyond from the moment we arrived. They were massively welcoming and adaptive to a large group of people with varying needs. They allowed us to experience a once in a lifetime Java tour, I would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you the organization team.
