  Descripción

  We are a young creative couple living in the cultural center of Java with our 3 year old son. We run an eco tour business, an upcycle crochet project and a homestay in the center of Yogyakarta. And we love to meet like minded people to help us in our mission.
  
  Our mission is to create awareness around plastic waste and all environmental related problems in Indonesia.
  We try to channel these values into our three main projects:
  
  1) Eco Tours: we offer adventurous off the beaten path trips and experiences around Java and Bali. Our tours are unique in a way that we reduce garbage effectively while traveling with groups ( a big effort in a country like Indonesia!) and we also show people places where no tourists have been before. As much as possible we work together with NGO's and local initiatives. It's all about the experience and getting to know the country you are visiting. Not only going home with photos and memories but also an understanding about the local culture and people.
  
  We currently offer our tours mainly to people from Belgium. We are expanding our market and seeking help in marketing our business in other foreign markets like France, Netherlands, Germany, Spain,...
  
  
  2) Upcycling of plastic waste: we buy, sort and process plastic waste to make upcycled products from scratch. It is all manually crocheted into key chains, toilet bags, purses and more.
  
  If you are creative and into these kind of handicrafts you are welcome to help and join us in the full process.
  
  
  3) Homestay: since 2024 we opened a homestay in the second floor of our house. Our homestay is designed in a minimalistic and modern way with a touch of natural materials like wood and plants. We manage the guests their garbage effectively and work together with a scrap collector around the corner that sells the usable materials for his own income. Plastic bottles, glass, cardboard, paper etc are all valuable materials that can be reused/sold.
  
  Our homestay needs constant marketing on social media and therefore you can help with things like creating content, making and writing posts. Managing our Instagram, Facebook, website etc. It would be very useful if you have a decent camera and drone to make better videos and photos of our place.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  In our place you are in the middle of the cultural center of Java, Yogyakarta. In the past we were active workawayers ourselves and we hope to bring that spirit back by becoming a host many years later. In our place we welcome all kinds of people interested in creativity, handicrafts, social media, marketing and etc. There is always something to do in our home!
  
  If you are looking for cultural exchange with locals and learn everything about Indonesia you are in the right place. We live in a local residential area close to the center that has many opportunities to learn about the life and people in Indonesia. You will not only learn from us but also learn from the neighbours and the area we live in. There are many friendly local children and people to interact with during your stay with us.
