Sleeping among orangutans in Borneo: Tanjung Puting National Park
During a month, I’ve (Eli) explored different sides of Indonesia: Hindu temples and volcanos in Java, rice fields and buddhist temples in Bali, dreamy beaches in Gili islands and Lombok…
But, without a doubt, the most unique experience was sleeping on a fisherman boat in the deep jungle of Borneo.
Pack your curiosity (and maybe a lot of bug spray), because we’re about to dive into the lush, wild, and fascinating world of Borneo’s Tanjung Puting National Park — home to some of the last truly wild orangutans on Earth!
The Bubble Theory
In the most visited regions, mass tourism is sometimes perceived negatively by the local population. Locals often complain about tourists: "They wouldn’t do this at home"!
Without reaching the extreme case of party tourism in seaside resorts, most travelers notice an alteration of their behavior and perception. And for longer stays, they even come back transformed, different.
How can such a phenomenon be explained? Find out more about what I call the "bubble theory".
How to avoid — or reduce — jet lag
Your eyes open in an unfamiliar place... all of a sudden, you remember, you’re in New Zealand! But it's 4am, and you can't go back to sleep.
Sounds familiar? Since we know this too well, we have gathered some tips on how to avoid jet lag, or at least reduce it:
What to do before travelling? What to do on the plane? What to do during your trip? What to do when you come back?
Travel Bug: Virus or passion?
You catch it one day, without warning. Restless legs, a lack of something, too long without flying, without new horizons, without jet lag…
Until the next departure, you collect objects related to travel, almost as an addiction. Your loved ones even encourage you with a world map to scratch with the destinations you visit, or a world clock.
A world clock!! You can have breakfast at Sydney time and dinner at LA time. Awesome…
