After our orangutan trekking adventure, JJ and I were ready for some relaxing Indonesian beach time. We set off for Mahi-Mahi Surf Resort, an eco-lodge on Simeulue Island in Aceh Province, Sumatra.
(more…)Gunung Leuser National Park covers 7,927 km2 in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. This tropical rainforest is one of the last places on earth where critically endangered orangutans live in the wild. Seeing these great apes has been on my bucket list for ages, so over the Easter long weekend, JJ and I finally made orangutan trekking happen!
(more…)Sumatran safari, city break + surf retreat
JJ and I just got back from a 10 day trip to Sumatra, Indonesia. It was finally time to tick orangutan trekking off the bucket list! Here’s my plane outfit, plus what I packed in my carry-on and checked bag for this trip. I don’t normally post what I bring on shorter trips, but because I had a mix of activities planned I thought this might be handy.
