Back in early November of 2019, Emily, my mother-in-law, and I visited my family in Indonesia.
For those that do not know yet, I was born and raised in Indonesia. I moved to the United States when I was 12 and all of my family (parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, everybody) is in Indonesia.
Emily and I try to go back to Indonesia once a year to visit with my family. Usually, we’d include some adventures along the way (i.e. Tumpak Sewu, Mt. Bromo, Bali, etc.), but this time, we were just focused on hanging out with my family in Jakarta during the entire 3 weeks there. We did end up doing some local weekend adventures around West Java however and it was too much fun.

In the middle of a cold spring night in the desert, we found ourselves looking for a place to camp in Alabama Hills. We had no idea what we were surrounded by when we parked at night. When we woke up right before sunrise, just about to make our drive out to Death Valley, we were surprised by crazy landscapes all around us. We couldn’t help but stay awhile. What a pleasant surprise.
