Hello, guys! Previously, I shared with you my Day 1 Flores overland trip, where we explored Ende. Now, let me take you to Bajawa! My Flores overland trip route:Ende > Bajawa > Ruteng > Labuan Bajo + Komodo National Park I was in Flores for 7D6N with my mother and sister. Before the trip, we had low expectations of the food, considering Flores was a remote island. We thought since it wasn’t as popular or developed as Bali, the food would be just okay. But during the trip, we were spoiled with delicious food! I’m not being biased here just because I’m an Indonesian, okay? Hehe… And Bajawa has a…

Flores Overland Trip: What to Do in Ende
Hi, guys! Last week, I returned from my Flores overland trip, Indonesia—it was memorable! Now, let me take you to Ende, my first stop of the journey ✨✨✨ Before that, did you know that Komodo Island is near Labuan Bajo, Flores? If you plan to see Komodo dragons, you might as well explore other cities in Flores rather than just staying in Labuan Bajo. Maximize your flight tickets, baby! My Flores overland trip route:Ende > Bajawa > Ruteng > Labuan Bajo + Komodo National Park There are two ways to reach Ende from Kuala Lumpur: The first option seems like the most efficient and cost-saving. However, I feel there’s nothing…

A Relaxing Walk in Zhaoxing Dong Village, Guizhou
Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to Zhaoxing Dong Village, the last traditional village I visitted when I was in Guizhou, China. If you follow my blog, we’ve explored Wujiang Village and Miao Village. Both villages are developed and lively, with beautiful, Instagrammable views. In Zhaoxing Dong Village, you’ll feel a different atmosphere—a more authentic, village vibe. A quiet life and relaxing walks in the park, just being present… Not many group tours visit this village because it’s far (around 2-3 hours from Miao Village) and there’s not much to do. However, I feel this village has its charm ✨📸🤳 I don’t have many things to say about…

Chasing Beaches and Waterfalls in Sumba, Indonesia
Hi, guys! This week, let me show you the beautiful beaches and waterfalls in Sumba, Indonesia 😍 📸 ✨ In this blog post, we will visit three Sumba beaches: Mandorak Beach, Watubela Beach, Puru Kambera Beach, and Walakiri Beach (bonus: Waikuri Lagoon). Meanwhile, the stunning Sumba waterfalls we’ll explore are Weekacura Waterfall, Lapopu Waterfall, and Tanggedu Waterfall. Actually, I was supposed to visit Waimarang Waterfall too, but I skipped it because the pathway was tough. At some point, I would have to become ‘Jane’ as I need to use a tree root as a rope to go down! 😂 If you love nature, you can enjoy the view in peace…

Baliem Valley Festival Budget Tour: Visitting Obia Village on Day 4
Hi, guys! This is the final saga of my Baliem Valley Festival budget tour travel diary. In this post, I will show you the beauty of Obia Village in Wamena, Papua, Indonesia. Yesterday, my friend asked me if the tribes were exploited for the festival. The answer is no. The Baliem Valley Festival was held to preserve the Papua culture and show it to the world. That’s why they wore traditional accessories and koteka during the festival, danced, and performed mock wars. Many, many years ago, there were real wars between the tribes. However, that’s no longer the case. Also, they wear normal clothes like us in their daily lives.…

Croatia Island Hopping: Korcula and Mljet National Park
Hi, everyone! Where do you want to go next? What about island hopping in Croatia? This week, I’ll take you to Korcula and Mljet National Park! 🌿✨🌊 Honestly, I don’t have many things to say about my Croatia island hopping trip because… the towns are very small and I was there for just one night in each town. However, when you read this blog post, I hope to give you a virtual tour experience in Korcula and Mljet National Park 😊 Ah, actually, I spent two nights in Korcula! That was because Mljet National Park was small and only two restaurants were there. Plus, the sea was a bit rough…

Krka National Park and Trogir Day Trip from Split, Croatia
Hi, guys! This week, let me take you to the beautiful Krka National Park and Trogir day trip from Split, Croatia ✨✨✨ If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, visiting Split will be worth it because there are buses and local tour operators that will take you on day trips around Croatia. So, you wouldn’t fly from far, far away just to see the filming location but it’s also easy to arrange day trips from the city 😉 Split itself isn’t that big, especially if you stay near what used to be the Diocletian Palace. For the Krka National Park and Trogir day trip from Split, actually I booked…
