Rangko Cave in Labuan Bajo was the first place I went to as soon as I settled myself in a hostel. I arrived at Labuan Bajo a day before the 3-day tour and I had the whole afternoon free with no agenda. A fellow hosteller told me to explore Rangko

Padar Island – An Incredible Island in Indonesia
Padar Island is one of the more than 17,000 islands in Indonesia. I’d say that it’s one of those views that you have to see, to believe it! Describing it as incredible is somewhat short of an adjective to fully express the feeling the first time I saw it. Man,

Pura Lempuyang – Temple With A View Of Mt Agung

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple in Bedugul – The Floating Temple
Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Temple in Bedugul, in the highlands of Bali, gains its monicker as the “Floating Temple” as it is on the edge of Lake Beratan. However, the temple is not literally floating on the lake. It depends on where you stand, the temple, at a far distance,
Broken Beach in Nusa Penida – Is it Really Broken?
The Broken Beach in Nusa Penida is one of the most-visited tourist attractions on the small island, next to Bali. But is it really broken? When I saw it personally, I couldn’t figure out why they call it as such. Nothing there is broken. If you know why let me
Jatiluwih Rice Terraces is Really Beautiful
Jatiluwih Rice Terraces is really beautiful. I mean, it won’t be called Jatiluwih if it’s not really stunning, right? I was told that “jati” means real, and “luwih” translates as beautiful or good. You see, Jatiluwih Rice Terraces is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You might wonder why but when
Kelingking Beach in Nusa Penida is Your Ultimate Hiking Trail Down to the White Beach
Yes, Kelingking Beach in Nusa Penida is your ultimate hiking trail down to the white beach. That is, I assume, if you are into a treacherous hike and reward yourself by frolicking in the white sandy beach and the turquoise salty water. Perhaps, you’ve seen this beach on many tourism
This Temple in Chinatown Jakarta is the Oldest in the City
This temple in Chinatown Jakarta is worth exploring. The locals call it Glodok which is also the name of the district where it belongs to. The compound has three (according to my count) under the same name – and you can see all of them in one visit. There’s no
Museum Prasasti is Not Your Ordinary Museum in Jakarta
Museum Prasasti in Jakarta is, perhaps, the weirdest museums I’ve been to in my entire life! It’s a necropolis! it’s a former cemetery built by the Dutch in 1795 for the aristocrats of their own kind. It is the oldest public cemetery in Jakarta and, perhaps, one of the oldest
Wayang Museum – A Culture of Puppetry on Display
Wayang Museum is one of the unique museums I’ve been to in my entire travels. It’s not your ordinary museum where European paintings and statues are on display. You won’t even see a single local/Indonesian painting in here. This museum dedicates itself to showing the art of Javan wayang puppetry.
The National Museum in Jakarta Has More Than A Hundred Thousand Relics

Jakarta National Monument and the City Views from the Tower
Visiting Jakarta National Monument is where you should start to get to know Indonesia’s capital city. You’re not only visiting the monument but also seeing Jakarta’s skyline from the tower deck. Yes, the tower is The National Monument! It’s a symbol of the country’s struggle for independence. For the locals,
Diamond Beach on Nusa Penida Island is Dangerously Beautiful
The Diamond Beach on Nusa Penida Island is dangerously beautiful (or beautifully dangerous?). It was the first beach we visited on the island and we couldn’t help but fall in love with it. It was love at first sight, I’d say. From the top, the views are truly mesmerizing. And
Tukad Cepung Waterfall in Bali – The Most Dramatic of All
Tukad Cepung Waterfall in Bali is the most dramatic of all waterfalls I’ve been to. It’s quite a ride from Canggu to the waterfall on a narrow, zigzaggy road. But, when you arrive, it’s all worth whatever trouble you have on the way. Promise! How much? You need to pay
