We are one of the fastest growing online travel magazine writing about Indonesia, currently focusing on unique Indonesia travel guides that would inspire people rethink about traveling in Indonesia.

Our mission is to serve the travellers and the travel industry. Although we are focusing on Indonesia, we adopt a global mindset and focus on scalability. With the depth of knowledge we have about travellers, we launched our Thailand site last month and have since attracted over 100,000 readers.
