Stories from the road, and trips planned around you
I'm Anastasia Louhenapessy — also known as Anas Baronda, Ambonese for "traveler." I share my journeys across Indonesia's islands, and help fellow travelers plan trips that actually feel like theirs.

Custom trip planning
Tell me your dates, budget, and pace. I'll put together an itinerary, local recommendations, and logistics so you can just show up and go.

Planning a trip around Indonesia?
I've spent years figuring out the parts that don't make it into the guidebooks — ferry schedules that actually run, guides worth booking, and routes that don't burn your whole trip in transit.
Whether you want a full custom itinerary or just a second opinion on your plan, I can help.
