An INFP-T who has too many interests and a craving for human connection but is a bit awkward in a social environment. :p I’d like to have more solo traveling journey and meet more people from all around the world ✌🏻 I have a Resting Bitch Face, which makes me look so tired or in a severely bad mood when in fact I’m just thinking about what should I eat for dinner. 😜 If I have to choose, I’d rather be behind the camera (ig: @rosalina1312) than in front of it. But this might change when I know how to pose beautifully :p

I spent two months in Indonesia and just loved it. I really liked Jogyakarta. I highly recommend the Dieng Plateau although it is quite arduous to get to, via local transport. Borobudur is nice. Mount Bromo is amazing. The Ijen Plateau is amazing. I took local buses to most places. The boat trips to what was Flores were incredible. The Gili islands are beautiful. I loved Flores.

Solo travel experience

My best travel experience was visiting Sumatra - exploring the jungle in North Sumatra, cruising around Pulau Weh in the north on a scooter, and falling in love with the vibes in lake Toba - the most stunning place I’ve ever been. All that solo.

Solo travel experience

I was in Bali, Gili Trawangan and Lombok. Spent a week based out of Ubud (rented motorbikes and drove all around the southern part of the island and ubud area), 3 days north in Lovina, and 3 days in the south of Lombok. If I had more time I wish I could have gone to the island of Flores to dive and see the Komodo dragons in Komodo National Park! You can do a 4 day cruise there or a cheap flight. Also have a friend who went to Sumatra and did a trek in the jungle to see wild orangutans. Sounded amazing! If you’re an adventurer and love trekking and challenges, definitely do the Mt. Rinjani trek in Lombok! Never had any safety worries.
