Beside the worldwide famous skyline and the Peak, there's a fabulous food scene to discover, a creative local street art, many gorgeous markets, and -believe it or not- stunning outdoors! One way or another, this city will surprise you...
We stayed almost a year in Indonesia, expats, based in Jakarta. Unfortunately we had to eat, therefore, we had to work -and couldn't spend all our time traveling. But, still, we took the time to explore the islands and discover heavenly places. Let me think back to these amazing memories...
"If you're not where your want to be, if you don't have what you want to have, if you're not where you think you should be at this particular point, it has nothing to do with the system but it has everything to do with the fact that you're not making the sacrifices.

With a beautiful mountains, a magnificent coast fringed with golden sand beaches, picturesque fishing villages and mining town, the Coromandel Peninsula is fabulous. And not only it's rich with a gorgeous nature, this region is off the beaten path -which means you might find yourself alone on the road with the most scenic views for yourself.
