Hop back on your bike and cycle back to Kalipok where you can witness village life and meet local artisans producing shadow puppets. The practice of this traditional art form, know as Wayang, has been carefully preserved and is passed down through generations of families.

Europe Specialist

After 10 years as a flight attendant, much of my travel was solo, which showed me how valuable shared moments truly are. Now, whether skiing the slopes of Zermatt or Dolomites, wandering hidden hilltop villages in France, or exploring Croatia’s crystal-clear waters and medieval towns. Travel, for me, is about connection, curiosity, and embracing the unexpected. Each journey teaches me about cultures, nature, and myself, inspiring me to create adventures that make the most of our precious time—thrilling, memorable, and deeply meaningful when shared.
