Super excited for my upcoming trip to Java, Komodo, Rinca, and Bali. I’ll be flying in and out of Surabaya city, in East Java, then heading off to see Komodo dragons, the world’s largest lizard, and if I’m really, really lucky I’ll get to see a blooming corpse flower in the jungles of Meru Betiri National Park. Not to mention staying in some incredible hotels like the Tugu Malang and Tugu Bali, as well as doing a sail with PeramaTours on my way to see the dragons. To top it off, I’ll hike up — then down — Ijen Crater, famous for its active sulfur mines and incredible Blue Fire.
I hope you’ll join me for these adventures! Bookmark this blog for photos and stories from the road on this amazing visit to Indonesia!
