Catatan lapangan,
diucapkan keras.

Di antara berjalan dan menulis, ada cara lain saya mencatat perjalanan ini: berbicara. Buku harian audio dari jalanan — pikiran spontan tentang apa yang baru saja saya lihat, rasakan, atau pahami, direkam di mana pun saya berada.

Episode disampaikan dalam bahasa Inggris.

In this episode, I share the vision behind our upcoming travels and the excitement of finally turning big ideas into real action. Join me as we prepare for our very first destination: the Toraja people in Indonesia.

Ep Stuck in One Place — Where Did the Traveling Me Go?
What happens when your travels just... stop? In this episode, I get honest about something that's been messing with my head lately: staying in one place for way too long while I'm supposed to be traveling. I'm still in Ambon — over ten days now, maybe close to two weeks — and it's completely thrown off my rhythm. Usually I move fast, a day or two in a place and then on to the next. But right now, I'm stuck waiting on a ferry I have zero control over, trying to time things perfectly so I meet a friend in Baubau and then Makassar in mid-September. Without the movement, the trip starts to feel like something else entirely — my days turn into eat, study, go back to my room, repeat. And somewhere in that routine, I started asking myself: where did the traveling version of me even go?

🚶 Ep Buying the Person, Not the Food — My Golden Rule

The whole system bugs out. In this episode: street food psychology, the “desert oasis effect,” and how survival smashes our principles to pieces.

The festival's last day brought a surprise dance on stage with the Timorese, a real gun at a police booth, a reunion with a friend from days before, and a crowd so thick a five-minute walk took thirty. Three days that taught me what real, everyday kindness looks like.
