Beautiful Indonesia
Half a year spent in beautiful Indonesia as a teacher of English, new member of a host family and, of course, traveler.
Highlights of the journey:
- Jakarta (chaos, mess but so much life)
- Yogyakarta (home for 6 months, muslim culture, sweet and spicy food, coffee with charcoal and so many temples)
- Karimunjawa Islands (Hidden paradise on Earth, daily snorkeling and the most delicious grilled food in my life)
- Lombok (took a 3 day boat trip, snorkeled with manta rays, hiked on Padar Island (Breathtaking), saw komodo dragons, sunbathed on a pink sand beach)
- Bali (Rice fields, monkey forrest, laughing yoga, taro cards, raw food, smoothie bawls, mango juices, pretty poison in Canggu and so many joss shots)
- Gili Islands (more joss shots, amazing beaches, first diving experience...at least that's what I remember:)
- Watu Karung (dangerous but beautiful place to surf, pizza)
- Pacitan ( safe place to learn surfing)
- Merapi Mountain ( awesome birthday hike..almost died once though)
- Bromo Mountain (even 16 hours in small indonesian bus were worth it)
- Ijen Mountain (acid lake, blue fire, otherwordly beauty)
I want to say big thank you to AISEC who made this experience real, my muslim host fam and Al Azhar Muslim school for such a warm welcome! Terima kasih!
And, of course, thanks to all my new friends who made this trip AWESOME! ;)
