Travels of Livia and I around South East Asia,and what accidently included China and Hong Kong as well (we were due to fly to Bangkok during the December riots, thus the airport was closed and got diverted to Hong Kong...) NB: The title is a mix of our surnames

By the time I arrived in Yogyakarta (Jogja) is was getting pretty tired of traveling.  I was tired of the repetitive nature of south east asia, tired of packing every day, tired of sharing the same old travel stories, tired of packing every couple days, tired of showering out of buckets, tired…

2009 with Ina

Undoubtedely the most authentic and traditional javanese city in Indonesia. Jogjakarta is an amazing touristical destination with Borobudur and Prambanan as its most representative sites. If you are thinking what places of Indonesia worth to visit..... just do not miss Bali and Jogjakarta!!

My ever faithful friend of travel Nedino, a little dwarf that is always in my bag..

Long jounrey to Yoygakarta. Went round Kraton and Palace, Big Market, Kota Gede (Silver place).  Then went to Prambanan and Borobudur.  Spent a day at the cinema.

Just some of my experiences (and maybe some tips)

i've finally managed to escape the oh-so-fascinating world of hedge fund finance, and am now decadently indulging my long-suppressed wanderlust with 15 months on the road and around the world... *note: apart from the odd review (generally of something not found in your standard guide book), this is really more just a map of my travels than a proper blog, but if you want more information on anywhere i`ve been or what i`ve been up to, send me a message and i`ll see if i can rustle something up.

Love food ... and to take pictures of them!

Finally, visiting the land where I was born.... Finding the roots in Pekalongan and getting to know the people & a way of living. Discovering treasures I never thought I would find. Now I can say; Though I've had a Western upbringing, I'll always be Indonesian.

My first professional volleyball gig overseas... way overseas... to Indonesia. A couple of months after the tsunami, I accepted the offer of a team, so I spent 3 months playing for the Jakarta Electric volleyball team, what an experience! Learn so much about their culture and got to vacation in Bali and other islands... what a treat after so much work!

  June 21   You see Western wanderers on this road, but not many. Catherine, another Canadian we hooked up with, broke her ankle two days ago. Hit by a motorcycle. I didn't get to know her well.  She may have been Canadian but we didn't seem to have much in common. & this summ…

Lieve allemaal, Selamat MalamNa de visum problematiek in Maleisië, vertrokken we zaterdagochtend naar Indonesië. Malaysia airlines speelde wat met onze vluchten, zodat we eerst een aantal uur in Jakarta mochten doorbrengen op Koninginnedag. Het einde van de middag bracht ons toch bij ons reisdoel…

Today we did a “Jamu” tour. Jamu is a traditional type of medicine used by Indonesian people to cure a variety off ailments, as well as promoting general wellbeing. We visited a small house and made our own jamu which was supposed to “Increase body slim” It had a heap of turmeric in it a…

a crazy yet tiring trip to java with some friends by driving my own car and done within 2 days..
