Redefining Communal Living in East Java

Let me paint you a picture:

It’s early morning at GunYun House. The smell of Indonesian coffee wafts through the communal kitchen as a mix of sleepy-eyed travelers gradually emerges from their comfortable bunks. Someone’s making toast, another’s preparing local fruits, and before you know it, you’re sharing travel stories over an impromptu international breakfast. This isn’t just communal living – it’s a daily celebration of global connection.
