What makes a building interesting is not only because how they look, but also it's rich history, how they are built, how they still stand until now and what philosophical meaning behind their design. Let me tell you, exploring architectural heritage is like a travel back in time to find that there are more to a place than meets the eye. Myself, as an architect, would love to accompany you through this journey so I can show you that traveling can also be a learning experience! We will start from exploring historical urban architecture in big city then continue to the philosophical traditional architecture in secluded village in the mountain! If you are interested or want to know more, please feel free to reach out 😊

About me Hi there! I'm Jeff, an architectural designer, traveling enthusiast and aspiring digital nomad. I love architectural traveling and exploring interesting buildings, sites and cities around the world and dive down to their rich history. I need open minded trip mates who are spontaneous, curious and adventurous. I'm a professional walker, these legs just can't stop walking exploring things my eyes want to see. If you are like me, then we are going to get along just fine!

About the accommodation It will be a shared room each unless you prefer private room, maybe we can rearrange the booking to suit you better (might need extra fee). Room arrangement will be decided based on Trip Mates preferences. If you are interested, we can try to find homestay in a traditional village to try what it's like to live a day far from the big city and its noise. About the trip I'm looking for 4 to 5 travel buddies (guys/girls) between 20 to 40 years old who like to walk to join me on the trip. There will be a lot of walking and I'm sure many of you are into that!

Jakarta

Day 1-2

I will be meeting you in Jakarta or Jakarta Airport, then we will spend the first day exploring the city and it's rich history of colonial architecture. Jakarta was a capital of Dutch Colony back before the 20th century. The city is full of historical building with unique colonial architectural style such us Old Batavia, National Museum, Jakarta Cathedral and many more.

Bogor City

Day 2-3

Just like Jakarta, Bogor has a lot of historical building and sites from the colonial era. One of the most popular is Bogor Botanical Gardens, an 87 hectares (210 acres) botanical garden build in 1817 and contains 13,983 different kinds of trees and plants of various origin. Not only you can learn architecture here, you can also learn about botany. And there are also other interesting places in bogor to visit!

Kasepuhan Ciptagelar

Day 3-4

Ciptagelar is a traditional village of indigenous people of ciptagelar. The place have sundanese traditional architecture, traditional farming and traditional culture that are interesting to explore and learn from. The place is very secluded from metropolitan area so the atmosphere will give you a whole new experience. We can find homestay here to experience what it's like to sleep in a very small and seclude village far from everywhere.

Pelabuhanratu

Day 4-5

Pelabuhan Ratu is a fishing town in the south shore of Java island. Its facing directly towards Indian Ocean and have a long line of beautiful beach. This will be the last journey for us before we end the trip and spend the day mostly just relaxing by the sea. Or you can walk some more exploring the town, be my guest!
