Short Trip or Long Trip?

Hey, Explorers! A while ago, we visited Misool, one of the islands part of the “Four Kings” – Raja Ampat. Yes, Raja Ampat consists of four islands, Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati, and Misool. We first visited Raja Ampat in 2015 with the group. At that time, not all islands were ready for visitors and we only explored a small […]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Plus 10th Anniversary Surprise!

Hey, Explorers! I apologize for the late updates! We are back from Ambon and Banda Neira! There was a bit challenge during this trip because our flight from Ambon to Banda Neira got rescheduled to days later than our original date. Because of that, instead of spending time on an hour-long flight, we had to […]

1 Traveler 1 Coral

Since mid of last month, I have been implementing the [1 Traveler 1 Coral ] program in Eazycation. Meaning to say, each of your trip participation automatically counts toward planting one coral in Karimunjawa Islands. No additional cost is added to participants but rather a portion of the profit goes to there. Karimunjawa Islands is a […]

Sailing Pahawang

Hey, Explorers! Happy month of August! This time, let me share about a destination our group has been before – many years back. So long that I couldn’t recall which year it was. Haha… All these years, when we think of having a LOB leisure trip in Indonesia, the destination that always comes out first has […]

Hey Ho! We are Back!

Hey, Explorers! I know it’s been three months since my last updates. I have been doing well, and I hope you have been well. Year-end and early of the year are usually busy or slow for me. I think it was the earlier one for me. In December, two groups visited Raja Ampat, which was exciting. Although […]

Unlock New Destination – Fakfak in West Papua

Hey, Explorers! Apologize for not sending any updates last month. It’s been a little bit haywire with the unexpected plan to visit Fakfak, the oldest regency in the West Papua province. The local tourism board invited two friends and me to share our knowledge and experiences in Digital Tourism with the locals. The purpose is to give […]

Virtual Explorers Meet & Greet – You are invited!

Hey, Explorers! So, I finally decided to do the “Virtual Explorers Meet & Greet” this coming Friday, September 30th. This virtual meet and greet will happen on Google Meet. Free admission. During the session, we will share a few unusual destinations like Korowai and Arfak in Papua and the Colossal Dance cultural festival in Nias. Also, probably Derawan, and Raja […]

We Are Going to Raja Ampat!

Hey, Explorers! Two annual events related to travel that lasted for four days were just over last weekend here in Jakarta. One is the Deep and Extreme Indonesia 2022 focused on underwater and marine tourism, and the other one is Indonesia Outdoor Festival focused on outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, cycling, kayaking, and many more. […]

Mt. Papandayan or Mt. Bromo, Anyone?

Hi, Explorers! A few weeks ago, I happened to go trekking at one place called Kawah Ratu (direct translation: Queen Crater). It is located in Bogor – about 2.5 hours from Jakarta; it is still within the Halimun Salak National Park. The highlight of the place is the beautiful turquoise color river (or stream?) found near the […]

Our Next Trips Schedule is Out!

Hi, Explorers! While I can’t wait to see you around here in Indonesia soon, I am happy to see many of you have also been traveling around the globe or even just to somewhere not far from where you are living (thanks to social media in this case so that we can keep in touch […]
