We were truly amazed by Indonesian ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity and felt blessed when interacting with people, whose fascinating customs and lifestyles were our major attraction.
The country has welcomed us with largely volcanic nature of the islands, cloud-swept mountains, blindingly bright beaches and vivid blue seas, the backdrop for Southeast Asia’s biggest wilderness areas and wildlife sanctuaries.
Moreover, it provided us with an endless resource for adventurous trekking, hiking and temple hopping adventures.
Here is a gallery of photos we have taken when traveling around, from Jakarta towards Bali. We hope we have captured the best of what Indonesia has to offer…
What’s your favorite postcard?

Hi there “E-Trampers”! I also fell in love with the islands of Indonesia. I couldn’t possibly pick just one photo of our month there as my favorite. We both really loved Flores; there’s just something so special about that island. The people were welcoming, the natural sites were beautiful, and I loved the little churches everywhere.
Safe, Happy Travels! :-)
Hi Kristin!
I’m so glad to hear that. Indonesia was wonderful and, indeed and we were so surprised how hospitable people were to us :).
Loving the new slider for all your postcards too! Fantastic images – love the one above of the flower in front of the temple :)
Thanks Sarah. I’ve seen the new slider on your blog as well ;-) ;-)
Great photos. Loved the cliff by the ocean. It reminded me of Ireland.
Ireland? Never been there, but it must be beautiful :).
Great photos, love the freedom shot!
Thanks! That’s actually my favourite one :D!
Hi Agness, yet another great collection of postcards, although I never get any in the post anymore! :-)
I’ve heard so many good things about Indonesia it does not surprise me that you enjoyed it so much.
I particularly like the postcards with baby monkeys on plus the picture of the 2 dragons beside the water.
Indonesia was amazing and I loved ever second there!!!! I hope there postcards reflect that! Thanks!
I like all your photos, but my favorite is the one of the food filled in the leaves, with the caption Bali :)
I took it, thanks xx
Dear Agness, thanks so much for capturing my country so beautifully.
I wish you’ll come back to explore other cities and islands :D
You have no idea how happy I am to hear that! I fell in love with Indonesia at first sight and I’m planning on going back there in the near future :-).
I love them all but my fav is the one’s of the monkey holding the baby. It’s awesome when you get to capture a priceless moment like that.
I love this one as well! So adorable, huh :)?
Great photos! If it’s possible, you have made me even more excited about my travels…only 7 weeks to go!
Awwwwwwww so excited for you! I’m sure you’ll love being there. 8 weeks left for me till I head back home!! :D
Great pics, you captured Indonesia so beautifully – the people, the spirituality, the food. It’s a great country, and I can’t wait to head back and explore more of it one day!
Many thanks!! It’s because it’s such a beautiful country!
I love the photos titled ‘Freedom.’ They’re all very beautiful! :)
Thank you Karisa.
Amazing pics :) Though, I’ve been to Indonwsia last summer I already feel like I wanna go back there once again. Tyhe country is huge and the friendluness of people, nature and cultural traditions make you want to explore the most of it.
So true. I can absolutely relate to it. My favorite place in Asia!
Love the cliff picture! Also the one where the mama monkey is hugging the baby monkey. So sweet. I hope you got to surf in Bali. I want to go there this year. :)
The monkey pictures are so adorable, but these monkeys were real evils, trust me! So cheeky!
Agness! These photos are all incredible, but I especially love the ones with the monkeys. Why do monkeys just make everything better?? Killer photo skills here – loving all the shots. Thanks for sharing!!
Monkeys rock, but the ones I captured in the pictures were so evil and cheeky!!
I actually have heard of evil/cheeky monkeys before. My boyfriend got slapped by a monkey when he was in Nepal!
WOW! Be careful next time!
I love the monkey in Ubud, that was one of my favourite places in Bali :-)
I loved it too!
Great temple shots, and I also love the fish market pics!
Thanks sweetie!
Indonesia looks so colorful! And the food and water so beautiful! You’re really triggering my travel lust right now :)
It was bright and colorful all the time!
They’re lovely and colorful pictures! The street scenes are vibrant!
Thanks! I’m learning from the best, Anu :).
Your pictures are so beautiful. I love the one guys face at the fish market! I always thought Indonesia would be super touristy but your pictures look like you guys were off the beaten path a bit. Seems awesome!!!
Hi! Although Indonesia is a very touristy country, we were off the beaten path a lot, indeed (as always).
Lovely photos guys! It’s hard to choose because they are all awesome but particularly like the black and white one of Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. One day I’ll get to Indonesia! :)
Thank you Franca!! :-) Yes, one day you will get there !
