It's an amazing place, vibe, and people. Staying in Mr. Wira's house with his family, the staff, and the volunteers made me feel at home like no other place. The staff is amazing; I'm grateful to have met G, April, Ekmal, Zack, Frisya and Dandi. Beautiful people that are creating a wonderful experience for volunteers and locals, giving the opportunity to really understand and live Tenggerese, Javanese and Indonesian culture. I have memories and experiences that will be with me my whole life. Hopefully some day I'll be able to get back to this amazing place. Miss you all already. Matur nuwun.

Visiting Kandagan and was such a beautiful experience. The waterfalls and surrounding nature were absolutely breathtaking it felt like stepping into a hidden paradise. What made the trip even more special was the incredible hospitality of the people in the village. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, making me feel at home right away. The schedule was also very nice and flexible, which gave me time to really take everything in and enjoy the moments without feeling rushed. It's a wonderful feeling to be welcomed so openly, and it truly made this experience unforgettable.

I really loved my stay with G atthethethe the the eco village village villagevillagevillage village village! Everyone was super welcoming, and I felt like my time and effort were genuinely appreciated. I got to learn more about the local culture, meet interesting people, and experience the project first-hand, which was such a special opportunity. Each day we did something different, but it was always fun and i constantly learned something new. The team is really open if you want to share ideas or even start your own little project. I'd definitely recommend it to other travelers looking for a meaningful and unforgettable experience in Java.
