In Indonesian, “beradadisini” means being here, now. Writing (in many ways, including in this blog) has always been my way of reminding myself to be mindfully present. To notice how time passes me by. To preserve memories and fleeting impressions. To capture sights and smells and a thousand simple pleasures. Writing the stories of my life, my thoughts, my journeys, as well as my encounters with people and experiences–has also helped me to see how I have grown as a person; to continuously be. The blog is my notes on traveling, writing, and living light; brought to you with love from the equator & the Northern hemisphere. Are you new here and do not know where to start?
