The Leeds Castle
This castle is dubbed as the Loveliest Castle in the world. However, don’t get it wrong as it is NOT located in Leeds. This castle is located at Maidstone of Kent County.

Besides entering the castle, you could visit the nearest falconry, get lost with your friends at the maze and find your exit through the beautiful underworld grotto.

Places around Bogor
Adrenaline junkie, come to Bogor!
Where you go adventurous just in your backyard!
This city itself has been known famous among conservationist, biologist and people working in forestry and agriculture sectors because many international or national organisation and institution in Bogor.
Bogor Botanical Garden and Bogor Palace might be the ultimate reason why people will go to Bogor. Second, it would be hiking Mount Gede Pangrango in Cisarua. Third, visiting Cibodas Botanical Garden at the slope of Mount Gede Pangrago, which worldwide famous with its lichens collection. However, there is other option than that if you want to go wandering around Bogor. Combining bicycling and culinary experience might be your next option.
Sounds like great combination, right? Besides what is the best thing to switch off from normal routine? For me it should be doing something new! That is why mountain biking in Gunung Mas, Puncak would be one of my new micro-adventure this year.
[Review] Vila La Lita, Gunung Bunder – Bogor
Pada saat Travel Blogger Indonesia akhirnya mengadakan gathering pertamanya saya langsung mengatakan YA! Setelah menempuh perjalanan yang cukup panjang berawal dari Stasiun Bogor akhirnya kami tiba juga di sebuah rumah bertingkat dua dengan dominasi ukiran kayu dan susunan batu serta batu bata.

Tidak jarang dalam satu ruangan, terdapat barang seni atau souvenir yang konsepnya bertolakbelakang namun dengan anehnya tetap enak dipandang mata.Continue reading “[Review] Vila La Lita, Gunung Bunder – Bogor”

Mengapa bepergian ke alam padahal sudah bekerja di alam?
Pertanyaan tersebut sering diajukan orang-orang ketika saya sedang liburan. Saya harus jujur dengan berprofesi sebagai konsultan lingkungan memungkinkan untuk bepergian ke berbagai tempat yang mungkin berlum pernah dikunjungi orang lain dan membuat iri. Walaupun demikian, di balik gemerlap semuanya itu saya selalu merindukan waktu bersantai di tempat wisata seperti kebanyakan orang normal. Kembali berhubungan dengan alam adalah salah satu opsi pertama saya dalam melakukan perjalanan diri sendiri. Gunung, air terjun, dan pantai selalu menjadi minat saya untuk melakukan detoks akan pikiran yang kusut dan membersihkan jiwa. Alternatif lainnya adalah dengan mengunjungi taman nasional yang memenuhi minat saya terhadap alam dan sains. Continue reading “Kalimantan: Berjalan Bersama Orangutan di Tanjung Puting”

Why travel to nature when already work with nature?
That’s the question that people always asked when I have holiday. I have to be honest living as a environmental consultant as I always traveling to a place that maybe people never heard and make people envy.
