I love going to places that only locals go to, eating local foods that are not standardized to foreigners' tastebuds and participating in their traditional rituals. As a proud Indonesian, I would love to showcase our natural and cultural heritage. Seeing travellers enjoying their trips in Indonesia makes me really happy! Consider me your local friend :)
How did you get involved in travel?
"Cultural differences have been my #1 interest and I guess that's why I've always been compelled to live in different places for several months so that I can really immerse myself in the local cultures, making new friends along the way, and leave my heart in each place. One thing I notice when I travel is that, when people asked me where I was from, they didn't know where Indonesia was. All they knew was Bali. That's why I really want to share how beautiful Indonesia is and that this archipelagic country has everything, be it for adventure, wildlife, cultural excursions, or even for a week of relaxing in a secluded island!"

Our local guides on the trip ( Wayan , kutuk, adit, etc) were all incredible and shared their vast breath of knowledge about the country in their own unique ways. One of my favorite parts about the trio was visiting the Uluwatu temple. This temple had one of the most gorgeous views at sunset and flooded with naughty monkeys which made the trip fun. Ending it with a fire dance and dinner at rock bar was incredible.
