27/07/16 Today was the day where I'd be sitting on a train for 14 hours. Not even overnight. Oskar drove us to the station, seriously, I'll say again 'Ostic is the best hostel ever'. He had booked the train ticket for me, so all I had to do was scan my paper confirmation and retrieve … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta to Ijen

Indonesia – Arriving in Yogyakarta & drag queens

Sure, the street art was nice but it was drawn by a European! … Continue reading Indonesia – Arriving in Yogyakarta & drag queens
