I grew up in the crazy capital for 22 years, until I decided to move to this beautiful island for a better living. I'm a chill, slow-mo person. And I like to dance. I prefer going out to the beach, the mountain, where we can build a tent, set a fire, play guitar and dance, talk about life experience, and sleep below the galaxy.

I love adventure, it somehow makes me being more creative on how I see the world to memorise it on a photograph and film. Yes I'm a Photographer, also a film maker. I started traveling in 2014 and pretty much grew up in internet social networking era where I became a kinda travel influencer (they call it) named the "Backpacker Tampan".

In 2016, I started to active making pictures and videos of my journey and share it to the world through Instagram and YouTube. You can find me here: http://www.instagram.com/backpackertampan http://www.youtube.com/backpackertampan

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Caving in a river cave and was accidentally 'separated' in 500 m deep. Was swimming and enjoying the true 'loneliness'

- Was lost in a day somewhere in Nepal's mountain jungle when I was trekking alone to Poon Hill to see the Himalaya. Was struggling very hard to find the way & freaking bloody in all over my body because of dangerous leeches. And ended up with finding & staying in a small farm house with beautiful Nepali family.

- Running out of money and got 0.1 USD left in the middle of my journey in India. So I did somekind of instant-job that unexpetedly turned into a unique-business that inspire lots of people. I would tell the story once we met.

- Surviving with 5 $ a week in Bali.

- Published a book

- Working with the Tourism Board of Indonesia to travel around amazing places and make picture and video to show to the world how beautiful Indonesia is.
