Hey Matthew!

Thanks for being part of De Karanganjar, and for being a great friend to my son, Aga.

I've really enjoyed our discussions, and of course, the cool podcasts about the history of the relationship between Indonesia and South Africa.

If I ever make it to South Africa, make sure you've got time to be my safari tour guide haha.

Great volunteering experience in the heart of Java. the host made us feel part of the family from day 1 with their generosity and authenticity. Tasks are diversified and it is great to learn the process of transforming a coffee grain into a delicious drink. Meeting the smiley locals made us feel very special. Highly recommended

We had a great time, everybody was very welcoming and made us feel like family. The environment is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by nature. The tasks were easy, pleasant and varied throughout the 2 weeks (swiping, cleaning, serving coffee, sorting coffee beans, teaching, etc.). The staff were all very friendly, and we learned a lot about coffee making and local culture. The food offered was very good. It was a perfect first Worldpacker experience! Thank you Wima, Alfi, Andrei and all the host family for this memorable experience!

The farm is a very peaceful place, surrounded by lots of nature. If you're looking for that kind of atmosphere, I highly recommend it. The people who work there are very welcoming and friendly and it was incredible to work with them. The tasks are simple, involving manual labor to maintain the farm and common areas and also as a waiter at the cafe. If you're interested, you can learn a lot about coffee from the baristas. The food served to the volunteers was very good too. On the free days they give you the chance to explore the area and do activities, which is great. I'll miss this place!

Hey Senhor Luca!

Thanks for your help during Ramadan, even though it's quiet around here. Our chat video about Brazilian football, I think, will be one of the most interesting podcast videos I've ever made.

If Brazil wins the 2026 World Cup, let's make a deal for a video call, okay?

Cheers and coffee up!

(Remember... Brazilian coffee was originated from Java, lol)

I immediately felt like I was part of the family at the host! Wima, his family, and staff are so hospitable and incredibly nice people. I had a daily schedule to keep busy but still had free time to explore Blitar and the surrounding rice paddies and plantation. Absolutely wonderful experience for my first world packers stay.

Hey Elle!

Another Bostonian has graced our coffee plantation.

I've really enjoyed our time together these past two weeks. So many things were made easier because of you, especially with the help on the video promo with the podcast and subtitles.

I'm really sorry I couldn't say goodbye on the last day. Hopefully we can meet again in Boston... maybe you'll treat me to a Boston Celtics game, haha...

I will never forget my time here. I could write about many things, but the people here are the BEST. Every person on the plantation is welcoming&genuine. Each person that you meet is friendly&kind. You should expect the accommodation to be very simple, naturally with a few bugs involved. But if you're looking to make some great connections, experience the culture, share your own culture, &learn a bit about coffee then I highly recommend here. I miss it so much , but I'll definitely be back. Thank you all for making me feel like a part of the family. Terima kasih banyak! Sempai jumpa lagi!! 😁

Bri!

What a three enjoyable weeks with you. Learning English was fun, chatting, hanging out, singing, playing games, and of course, seeing how well you work here. Thank you for bringing joy to our place.

I will remember you as the record holder, the only volunteer who had no plans to go anywhere one hour before leaving this place. Congratulations! But please don't do it again haha...

Whenever you want to come back, remember that here is your Indonesian home.

This was a wonderful experience, and i'm so glad I got to stay on the host. Alfi, Wima, Risma, and all the many other staff members are so lovely and hardworking. Everyone is welcoming and kind, and I miss them all already. The rooms are simple but I loved having a space to call my own and there is a kitchen we're able to use as volunteers. The work itself was mostly gardening/maintenance in the morning and then working in the cafe later in the day. We usually finished quickly and there was lots of time to explore the plantation fields, which are beautiful, or relax.

Hi Natalie!

You are a young girl who is brave and smart. I am very happy to discuss a lot with you, one of them is about movies. I hope your dream of becoming a filmmaker comes true. And thank you for participating as “ghost” in our content :p

If I go to the US, I will definitely visit you in Seattle.

See you again, Natalie (Portman)!

The host was a beautiful place to get away from busy city and connect with nature and locals from the area! The managers, workers, and owners take every effort to make you feel special as a volunteer. There are a few opportunities to go into town and also go on nature adventures. They also feed u really good! This was my first Worldpackers experience & I think it's a wonderful one to start off with as the staff is very organized and professional! Two pieces of advice: be prepared for most of your work to be a celebrity to the locals and buy toilet paper before heading to the plantation!

Mi experiencia en la plantación estuvo buena, el lugar es grande, tranquilo con naturaleza y lindo. Las tareas son sencillas. Me hubiese gustado aprender más sobre las plantas de café, sus orígenes y variedades, pero no se pudo por la época del año creo. Gracias a Mr Wima y Miss Lydia por su buena voluntad y predisposición. Bizma y Abry por tenerme paciencia y hacerme reír en el bar. A indah y las chicas por ser tan amables.

Mi experiencia en la plantación fue buena, las tareas son sencillas y más que nada necesitan ayuda de camarero en el café de la plantacion. Tenía expectativas de aprender más acerca de las plantas de café y no fue el caso debido a la época del año. Gracias Mr. Wima y Miss Lidya por su buena voluntad siempre. Gracias Abry y Bizma por hacerme reír. Nos vemos mañana 🫶🏼
