Things to do in Surabaya with Kids
Don’t believe it when they tell you there’s nothing to do in Surabaya. There’s at least four, yes, FOUR things to do in Surabaya with the kids other than the malls. I know, it doesn’t sound like much but at least despite our 2 week-long trip we managed to entertain the boys and I didn’t … Continue reading
Surabaya: Getting there, Staying there
Getting There I can’t complain of my first experience flying alone with the two kids. Although it was a very short flight I was a little bit concerned on how they, or rather I, would deal with it. We flew Garuda Indonesia since we’ve had several bad experiences with Air Asia Indonesia. The service … Continue reading
Batu Secret Zoo
If you are in Surabaya for a few days, the Batu Secret Zoo is a must see! Although it’s a good two to three-hour drive from Surabaya you won’t regret making the trip. For only 120,000 rupiah per adult for the zoo and the museum (kids get in free), it’s a steal! This zoo has … Continue reading

The DC area offers great activities for everyone and for every budget. Whether you are an adrenaline-junkie and love … Continue reading
A Belle and a Belly in Bali
Soon after we moved to Jakarta, when my sister was in town (the belle) and I was still very pregnant (the belly) , we decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Big Durian, and embark on a trip to the well-renowned beach resort of Bali. After doing some research, we … Continue reading
A big belly, an 18 month old and a visit to Yogya
We had the opportunity to visit Yogyakarta (Yogya) for a week last summer. We were there taking an intensive one week-long language class and I must say I enjoyed touring the city as much as I enjoyed learning bits and pieces of Bahasa Indonesia and Indonesian Culture. I was about 5 months pregnant at the … Continue reading
