ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hello everyone! I'm Bertrand, and I've been living in Indonesia 🇮🇩 for 12 years, exploring almost every corner of this incredible country. From the pristine waters of eastern Indonesia to the deep rainforests of Sumatra, I've experienced it all. Imagine hiking an active volcano in Java or Maluku, then ending your journey diving in the breathtaking waters of Raja Ampat—that's the kind of adventure Indonesia offers! As a seasoned traveler with extensive experience across Southeast Asia and Central Asia, I also bring a deep knowledge of my home country, France, where I can design unique, off-the-beaten-path itineraries. I'm excited to share these unforgettable journeys with you!
