A guide to great bars in Jakarta

Hi, I’m Laurie! I’m originally from the UK, though living overseas for the last five years. Currently I’m based in Jakarta, Indonesia. I am a self-described fast travel addict, and in the last few years I’ve been prioritising visiting as many counties as possible alongside my 9-5 office based job. So far I’m up to 89 countries visited, 60 of those in the last three years, and I’m still counting! This has meant I’ve spent a lot of time planning and designing jam-packed itineraries, and squeezing in as much as possible to weekend trips, public holidays, and multiple country vacation trips! I’ve gathered a lot of tips, recommendations, and google maps pins along the way, that can help other avid travellers save time, see the highlights, and get the best out of their trips. I’ve gotten particularly good at bringing together info on harder-to-visit places like Timor Leste, Tuvalu, Tonga, and more, and my guides tend to (but not always) focus on these kinds of places. That being said, I do just love sharing great places to see/eat/drink( so you’ll find the occasional restaurant/bar and sights guides in some bigger cities too!
