Sombori Island - Untouched Paradise (Sulawesi, Indonesia)

In this episode, I travel to the untouched paradise of Sombori Island in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. To learn about it's hidden gems, unique bajo culture, cuisine and local stories.

I'ts been more than 900 days since I started my Sabang to Merauke journey, across the Indonesian archipelago and I've finally made it to my 15th province, central sulawesi.

The journey starts from Buton island, where I first travel back to Kendari, the capital of South East Sulawesi. From there I meet up with my friends from Bank Indonesia, who have come to pick me up in the boat.
We first travel to Labengki Island located near Sombori island, where the Bank Indonesia team stays at Nirvana Resort.
At Mbo Kita village in Sombori, we exchange their old bills into the new rupiah bills and I get to share my experiences across indonesia with the locals.
I spend a couple of nights at Sombori Resort, from where we go out on various tours, like watching the sunrise from Kayangan 2 and go night fishing.

I visit the local bajo family at the famous 'Rumah Nenek', where Pak Sharif shares me his unique story from the time he caught a whaleshark in his net by an accident.
I visit the famous Air Kiri beach with the children of Mbo Kita village, we try local Indonesian cuisine and so much more!

In the end of the video, I make a short stop at Labengki Island in South East Sulawesi, where I stay at the incredible Labengki beach huts, from where I visit the famous, Blue Lagoon.

I am now on a mission to spread the spirit of Saling Jaga se-Indonesia🇮🇩.
