Kalibaru, Indonesia
Banyuwangi is the most eastern regency of East Java. Jember is the closest neighbour on the west side whilst Bali is only apart by the Bali Strait. The native people of Banyuwangi are the Osing. They have their own community and speak in their own dialect, a combination language between Javanese and Balinese.

Chasing the Blue Flame
Before dawn, a silent procession ascends into Ijen's highlands, where electric blue fire dances in the dark. As daylight breaks, the turquoise lake and sulfur miners' silhouettes reveal a journey of contrasts—light, fire, silence, and strength.
To the Edge of Time The Sukamade Turtle Journey
Hidden beyond jungle trails and river crossings lies a forgotten coastline-Sukamade, where nature writes quietly in the sand. Each night, under a canopy of stars, sea turtles return to lay their eggs in the place they were born. It is a ritual older than memory, untouched by haste. The road to Sukamade isn’t easy. It’s a passage through wild rainforests and hushed landscapes, where human presence fades into observation. But those who make the journey are granted a rare privilege: to witness life’s most delicate moment-birth, in the rawest sense. This is not just a visit. It’s an invitation to slow down, to respect, and to reconnect.
A Sacred Ascent into the Wild
Mount Raung, one of Java's most formidable volcanoes, is surrounded by thick forests and a massive caldera. Reaching its summit requires endurance and respect. The journey through mossy trails and silent ridges leads to the peak at 3,344 meters, offering clarity and a deep connection with nature.
