Originally had a blood of North Sumatera, Indonesia, but raised in Jakarta, Dea has special passion about books since she was in Elementary School. Often absences from her classes in Elementary School just to sat nicely on the second-hand bookstore in Local Market and reading some books. She loves Paulo Coelho, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Comics or any kind of books that she counts can bring a positive energy to her life. She can spend many times reading and dreaming about anything she wants, especially about another country she never visit before. Starting from pages by pages she read, she tried to write her own minds into words and now become her habit.
Beside her daily life as a normal employee and a public relations student in an established university in Jakarta, she has a big passion in writing, photography and traveling. Things that interest her is about history and culture. She loves to spend time seeing a beautiful scenery, feel her feet on the beaches, trekking the mountain, go to the country side, watching local peopleβs life and doing a trip as much as she can and make friends along the way. For her, writing can be so addictive to do and another way to keep an history of her life while sheβs gone. She decided to start this blog (over her all old post everywhere) on July 13, 2012.
Dea seems to be a special one and I must admit that I like special ones π

Hi , great to find your blog. I am Aussie, my wife is from Jakarta and we have just been back to travel In Indo for me, after a break of about twenty years. I first went to Indo in 1974 and travelled north from Bali through Java and Sumatra to Medan and across to Penang , that trip became a two year mostly overland trip from Australia to South Africa and back. I later lived and worked all over the Indonesia and met and married my beautiful wife.. I was a keen surfer in those days and was amongst the first to surf in Pulau Nias and later the Telo islands . I understand the fascination with this beautiful country and after our recent visit to Flores we are both keen on going back for a longer stay. Your blog is already helping us with plans for further travels next year, thank you and may you enjoy many more years of wandering around the globe, I heartily recommend this way of life to all young people, you will never regret it and you will become very world-wise if you travel extensively when you are young. Kindest regards, Brad.
