I'm open for new family travelers to come to join and would be happy to share the journey experience with you. Let's check out the trip details and can't wait to meet you as trip mates.

Located along the west coast of central Sumatra, the Bukit Barisan plateau to the east, and a number of islands off the coast. Why West Sumatra? West Sumatra is one of the most beautiful areas of Indonesia. It is mountainous and divided by three valleys. There are lovely lakes and spectacular volcanoes. Minangkabau land has the most friendly population group in Indonesia. They love to talk with visitors and will tell us about their unique society.
