i love how transformative Indonesia is as a country. from one city to the next, the people and the culture and the landscape can differ so drastically, it’s almost like traversing between entirely different countries altogether. it’s a land that pulls on your heartstrings, makes you feel alive; an esoteric universe with such an easy assurance that people come here hoping to be turned into something new.
i’ve continued to loved Indonesia since i first explored its lands in 2017, and going through my photos again for this journal has only further exacerbated this weird nagging impulse to return – this time perhaps to some city or island new. I mean, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Bali make for impressive mains… but i can’t help wondering if the nooks and crannies of this nation of 17,000 islands might just have something else pretty stellar hidden away from the masses too.
but lest I digress, here’s a snippet of my short but remarkably beautiful time in Indonesia, a chaotic little wonder world filled to the brim with forty kinds of flavours and then some.
BANDUNG
YOGYAKARTA
BALI

Thank you Kitti! There’re so many facets to Indonesia that you can go through a whole gamut in one trip. Missing the country SO MUCH.

Hey! I spent 2 months in Indonesia just before the pandemic started and your photo’s really want to make me go back! If you’re looking for a more remote place but not too remote, Flores island is a good option! 🙂
