Indonesia Travel Podcast with Bayu Pratama
by Bayu Pratama
Indonesia is an archipelago of more than thirteen thousand islands, with a damp tropical climate and inland mountains that alter the heat. This podcast follows Bayu Pratama as he settles in one place long enough to learn its routines, then moves somewhere connected to it.The host's route moves from Jakarta's crowded coast to the cooler highlands of West Java, then across the Selat Sunda to southern Sumatra and the island's northeastern shore. He also spends time in Bandung and Surabaya, cities whose daily rhythms rarely make travel headlines. One settled place leads to the next.As the tropical year turns between wet and dry, he goes back to places from earlier episodes to see what changed.

The show is a slow accumulation of knowing Indonesia properly.Bayu Pratama lives in Indonesia and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlin
