Indonesia is proud to boast that it is the world’s largest archipelago, containing more than 17 000 islands stretched across 5000 km of oceans, seas and islands, nestled along the Equator between Asia and the Australian continent, and not forgetting between the Pacific and Indian oceans.

Make a difference in the places you travel
When you travel to far out places you often receive generous and gracious hospitality from local people, even when they don't have much themselves.
We believe, we have a moral obligation to give something back to the people who live in the communities that we visit. It is simply the right thing to do to help people who struggle with basic needs for food, water, housing, health and safety.
