Teluk Semut, gerbang masuk ke Pulau Sempu. Hanya selemparan batu dari Pantai Sendang Biru, namun perlu perjuangan ekstra dari sini untuk mencapai Segara Anakan. – View on Path.

Segara Anakan at Pulau Sempu. A hidden white sandy beach surrounded by rocky hills, its lake is watered by the breaking waves coming through a hole on the rocks #island #beach #travel #indonesia

About Wealth

I’m coming from a middle class family. My father was not a rich man. When he died, he left nothing for us, only his wisdoms. One thing he taught us is to act accordingly to our surroundings, whether in wealth or poverty. Fancy holiday in Bali or keeping it low in Semeru. Five-stars hotel or thin mattress on the floor. My father was million miles from million dollars, but I can never spend his wealth of wisdoms. – Read on Path.

Taking a rest at the shelter before continue trekking #trekking #travel #indonesia

It’s autumn in the summer. #mountain #travel #indonesia

Mystical mist coming down Ranu Kumbolo mid morning. #travel #mountain #indonesia

I could sit here all day, listening to the sound of the wind whispering songs to the grasses. #mountain #travel #indonesia

After hiking Tanjakan Cinta, we can see Mt. Kepolo. Peeking at the back of it is Mahameru summit of Mt. Semeru.

After hiking the steep track, the view is definitely worthwhile, looking at the vast expanse of Ranu Kumbolo, Mt. Semeru. #travel #trekking #indonesia

Love Hike a.k.a Tanjakan Cinta, a steep track off Ranu Kumbolo. It is believed that anyone who can hike the track without stopping or looking back will have an eternal love #trekking #travel #indonesia

Main camping ground at western shore of Ranu Kumbolo, Mt. Semeru. #camping #travel #indonesia

This is a sight painted by God, and human can only preserve. #travel #indonesia

Pine trees on the side of Ranu Kumbolo lake, turn golden by the morning sun. #travel #indonesia

Bromo valley, a sight to behold when we arrived at the truck stop. Ranupani is still an hour away by foot.

The road between Ngadas village and the last village of Ranupani. The road is not all the way smooth, some are still in renovation. We have to trek 1 hour before we can continue by ojek to Ranupani.

A village amongst the clouds. Ngadas Village, the one and only Tengger tribe village in Malang regency. The other eleven tribe villages are spread out in Probolinggo and Pasuruan. Still holding on to their tradition and beliefs, Tengger tribe still accepts modernizations, unlike the other indigenous tribe, Baduy #travel #indonesia

What I really mean to say is that I hope you aren’t held back because of a number. And that you don’t rush into things because it feels like time is slipping by. I hope you do what’s right for you. Hold on. Slow down. And breathe in. Your age is your age. But more importantly, your life is your life. Don’t change your journey so that it matches someone else’s. We need to walk different paths so the whole world can be explored. Revel in the differences. And enjoy where you are.

Every so often, life takes you by the heart and pulls you so low that you feel your soul itself is 6 feet under. Truth is, a test of life couldn’t present itself more clearly. Tests are not there to make us feel weak, contrary to popular feeling. They show us our weaknesses, true, but they do so as a way to give us the opportunity to capitalize on our strengths and grow to the next level of our personal journey. So, the lower life pulls you, know that it’s because God knows you have what it takes to climb that much higher to get back on top.

Juni tahun lalu posting foto yang hampir sama dalam flight Jakarta - Surabaya. Kala itu tujuannya Probolinggo/Lumajang dan merupakan perjalanan dinas pertama untuk kantor.
Sekarang tujuan akhir Bojonegoro dan kemungkinan merupakan perjalanan terakhir saya untuk kantor yang ini. Can’t wait to see where life takes me next! – View on Path.
