Indonesia

I arrived in Indonesia for a one month motorcycle road-trip across the archipelago but ended up getting hooked. I learned the language. Co-starred in a film. Competed on a nationally televised game show. Started doing modeling work. Even fell in love. (With a local Javanese lady, not the country. Okay, the country too…but you get my point.) ;)

Yes, silly me. It was 2013 and after five years of traveling the globe, Indonesia seemed perfect and I thought that it would become my new home. Unfortunately fate had different plans for me, as you’ll see below. It’s amazing how quickly you can go from celebrity to pariah with just one tweet…

Welcome to Indonesian life!
