We’re Pavla and Dini—two moms, travelers, and storytellers with a deep love for Indonesia.

Dini, an Indonesian explorer, is always on the hunt for authentic experiences, choosing deep connections over crowded attractions.
Together, we share our unique perspectives and insider knowledge to help you discover the real Indonesia—one hidden gem at a time.
