7 Reasons Why I Love Traveling Solo
The view from Arthur’s Seat, one of my favorite places in Edinburgh. The summer of 2012 will always be one of my most favorite times, as it was the first time I traveled solo. It clearly left a mark on me, as it got me addicted. Most of my favorite moments happened when I traveled alone,…

Making Memories
I’m a big fan of memories. If you know me, you’ll know that I’m the sort of person who tends to dwell in the memories of the past, looking at old pictures and reading old diaries. Through the years, my way of keeping memories has evolved into writing things and posting photos in this blog.…

7 Ubud Favorites
People say you’d never get bored of Ubud. They’re right. This was my second time in Ubud this year, after going here with my friends last summer. This time, I stayed longer, and good thing that I was, as it was raining every day around mid-day, so we effectively only had around 6 hours each…

Campuhan Ridge Walk
I’ve been to Bali a few times, and have explored many places on the island, from the north to the south, from the west to the east. From all the places I’ve visited in Bali, Ubud is still one of my favorites. The town has undergone many changes throughout the years, and yet it still…

Stray Dogs in Bali
As someone who has a soft spot for dogs, seeing the conditions of stray dogs in Bali really breaks my heart. Stray dogs have become a long-standing problem in Bali. The lack of awareness or fund to sterilize and give vaccinations, even for pet dogs, have worsened the situations. Following the rabies outbreak in 2008,…

The Lodge Maribaya
By now you might have established how much I loathe Jakarta. Some people were born to live in buzzing cities, but I’ve never really adjusted here, no matter how much I’ve tried. If you asked me what my achievements in life are, I’d put surviving in Jakarta as one of them. It’s a constant hurdle,…

Bali Trip | Pemuteran
Pemuteran. I don’t quite know why it took me so long to write this. Maybe it had something to do with the number of photos I had to work on now that I’m doing photography full-time, that in my spare time the least I wanted to do was working on other photos. Or maybe it…

Postcards from Bandung
Last Saturday I packed my bag and went to Bandung with my sister and her boyfriend. I’ve always had a soft spot for this city, so while I still prefer a quiet little town over a busy city, Bandung is a compromise I’d happily accept. As familiar as it could be, it’s constantly evolving. Every…

Bali Trip | Snorkeling at Menjangan Island
When we were planning our trip, one of the first things we put on the list was snorkeling at Menjangan Island. I’d heard about the island and its reputation before, but seeing how far it was from my usual destinations in Bali, it always put me off. This time, it was different. I was getting…
