Hey, yo! My name is Matius Teguh Nugroho, a full time employee and a part time travel blogger. You can call me Nugi or Matt like my friends do. I'm originally from Yogyakarta but I've been living in Bandung for more than years. So, yeah, you can say that I know this city well.

I'm always excited to meet new people, share new stories, learn new cultures. That's why I love traveling.

My main interest is urban exploring, including: city view, architecture, public places, public transportation (especially rail transit system), hotel review, culinary, lifestyle, and local culture. But I won't decline a nice opportunity to climb the mountain or sun bathing at a beach. I climbed Mount Papandayan, Mount Prau, Mount Cikuray, and Mount Merbabu. I love taking pictures with my DSLR camera and then uploading them to my instagram and travel blog. And since I have a travel blog, yes, you may expect that I love writing so much!

I'm a Christian. I drink, but I don't smoke, and I don't really like people smoking around me. Grew up in a modest Javanese family who value gentleness.

Unfortunately I don't have a proper room for guests to stay, so if you want to stay with me, expect sleeping in a small rented room. You foreigners might be not familiar with the room I have. But, if you just want to meet up or simply visiting my place, that would be a nice opportunity for me. I'll be your accompany in exploring the city of Parijs van Java. I need to continue practicing my English to enrich my vocabularies and developing my English skill. I have a motorcycle to help you explore the city.

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling is not a matter of money. It's a matter of willingness.
It's not a matter of nationality, but a matter of interest. Don't judge someone's nationality just because he / she travels abroad.
