#IamUrbanBrave to Wander and Cross Timezones A few years ago, I told myself that I would travel and see the world. It happened and it is happening.

We had a long day during Day 2 of our #tripofwonders #wonderfulindonesia trip. Starting with a Sunrise Hike in Borobudur Temple, a tour of Ullen Sentalu Museum and (almost romantic) lunch at Beukenhof Restaurant.
