Indonesia is a quite unique place on the map. It is literally the land of islands, and the diversity of flora and fauna, people and languages, history and culture are outstanding (either in a good or bad way). So the question arises: can you, and do you want to visit all the 17508 islands? Naaahh…..

Bucket list experience in Gorontalo
For some reason, I’m not good at social life (at least since last year). I don’t connect easily with others, and it’s like my biorhythm is out of sync with the masses. I spend my days alone but also feel mostly lonely around people. I’m not necessarily happy about this and still trying to figure…
The ultimate coffee trip to Toraja Part 3.
A long way leads to heaven but it’s all worth it in the end. The final destination | Rante Pao Ladies and gents, Toraja itself. The home of world-class coffee and the fanciest storage room for rice I’ve ever seen. Arriving somewhere without doing research, looking at things with naivety and creating your own stories,…
The ultimate coffee trip to Toraja Part 2.
South Sulawesi was love at first sight as soon as I saw it from the air on the landing plane. After touchdown and hitting the road, this love only deepened every day. I had a short time but a very serious mission to visit the origin of my favourite coffee. And although the driving was…
The ultimate coffee trip to Toraja Part 1.
My very first visit to Bali (2017) left some imprints that simply stick with me no matter what. One of the most significant ones is that I spent my first few days in Ubud, and the first coffee shop I visited was Anomali Coffee. I remember trying all the different single-origin coffees from Aceh to…
Raja Ampat, the lost paradise Part 3.
Here comes the big fish.. Day 6. The main attraction of the archipelago is undoubtedly the Pam (Fam) Islands and Piaynemo within them (literally the first result on Google). Of course, that was the bait for me too, and all I knew about Raja Ampat. The route of our day trip was: Kri – Piaynemo…
Raja Ampat, the lost paradise Part 2.
And the story goes on.. Day 3. The day when I experienced the real Raja Ampat magic. Specifically, how this place turns the most annoying day into the most magnificent. According to the plan, I just had to wait for my transfer to take me from Saonek to Kri. They said around 11 am, so…
Raja Ampat, the lost paradise Part 1.
Raja Ampat has been on my bucket list since I first arrived in Indonesia. For some reason, I always imagined it as a honeymoon destination that I would like to visit with a special one. Well, I am my special one. I don’t know what this year has in store and where I’ll be in…
Coffee and Komodo dragons of Labuan Bajo
This won’t make me popular but screw it, I’m saying it out loud: I really like 2020. I know the rest of the world is drowning in the misery of Covid, but thanks to my life decisions, I am in a place where we are least affected. All this drama doesn’t really influence my personal…
Airlie Beach to Gold Coast | Queensland
After the 3 weeks of volunteering on Quoin Island, the time has come to return to the civilisation; honestly, this scared the sh*t out of me, and when I arrived in Airlie Beach all my concerns made sense immediately. The background song I started my Queensland trip with: Travelling around Australia is cool (if we…
