About Me

I spent most of my times riding throughout Indonesia. It's been four years now I'm maintaining the path whether explore new island or just go further.
But I have tendency to go back to some place simply because I miss it, no matter how far and hard to get there.
And being part of the locals and living the local's way is my thing.

So, I'm sorry that I'm unable to host at this moment. It just hard for me to stay at home for a long time!

My interest quite vary and wide; I do archery for professional but need to off this year because of my injured shoulder.
Besides motorbike I like to do fishing, trekking, camping, sometimes surfing, gardening, cooking (from survival to fancy foods), mechanical stuffs (esp motorbike machinery), I also crazy for coffee, red wine, and (all kind of) cheese.

I also initiated a group of bikers called Ride For Share; riding to remote areas (that can't be accessed by car) with a mission to help out the locals. First time was delivering school needs for the children in the western tip of Java. Last time we deliver needed goods after Tsunami Dec 2018 in Banten.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music..... From Frank Sinatra to Metallica. (so many possibility of musics between them and yes I'm that random to hear almost everything kind of music).

Movie.... Documentary, thriller, really into psychological thriller, crime, comedy, sci-fi, sometimes drama, animation of course.
Memento, Donnie Darko, Mulholland Drive, The Prestige, Jagal: The Act of Killing, Death at Funeral, and Midnight in Paris are still my favorites.
Adoring Wesley Anderson movies, love Hiyao Miyazaki animes and often cry over Pixar movies.

Books; currently enjoying Thomas Bernhard books.

TV Series.... Much. Just too much. B.O.B, Breaking Bad, Ricky and Morty, Narcos, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Sherlock, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Riding from the western tip of Java to Bali then Lombok, continue to Sumbawa and Flores, and decided ship cross to Sumba as the finish point (not really finish if you talking about how I get home. Yes! Riding back through these islands.)

- Roadtrip France - Switzerland - Italy.

- Catch a 4 meters salt crocodile with fishing net when fishing with the local fisherman in a very small boat with only max 4 ppl capacity.

- Saw the Javanese Rhinos!

And best of all, solo riding island to island. I guess it just as basic as breathing to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to share my trips to the East of Indonesia in case you're preparing to or may want to visit these exotic islands.
Will teach anything I can do, and I would like to learn anything new, interesting and fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

This time I'll take enough Indonesian spices and herbs to cook for a month. So if there is any chance I stay at your place in my first month, you may want to try my Indonesian food!
Also maybe taste the most expensive coffee in the world that I bring from my country.
