Photo taken at the airport before my first flight ever, I felt more excited than nervous.
Finally landing in Indonesia after back-to-back flights that lasted over 24 hours, this was my first glimpse of the country.
Took this while riding in the car to my partner’s house; the traffic is on a whole different level than in the U.S.
I saw this sign while visiting the beach. I thought it was cool how it pointed in the direction of other countries.
This was taken on one of the bridges in Padang. We took many photos around the city that day.
I took this photo at Lamun Ombak, which is Padang’s most popular restaurant. You are given many varieties of food that can range from sweet to spicy.
This was taken while we visited the zoo in Bukittinggi, surprisingly, this was also my first time visiting a zoo. I saw many animals while there, but the ones I was most surprised to see were deer.
Another photo taken on our mini trip to Bukittinggi, it was taken near the zoo over a bridge. I felt it brought out a lot of the colors of the city.
Story of all the images:
These photos show my recent trip I took to Indonesia last month, which was my first time out of the country and introduced to me to many new experiences. I was able to meet many new people who have now accepted me into their family, and I was able to taste so many different kinds of food. I have had Indonesian food many times before, but of course, the flavors of it being fresh from there were on a whole different level. I hope to go back again, but I also hope to share the experiences and different moments I encountered through some of these photos.
