About @theo1006
82 years old • Male • Retired
I moved to TP from VT, where my specialization was Indonesia because I lived and worked in Indonesia for 26 years. I have written several Indonesia guide pages. Lately have started writing blogs on how tourism in Indonesia has changed in 50 years.

Merapi Volcano
My first ascent of Merapi volcano was in 1971, my last in 2008 (at age 66). I follow the news about eruptions in Indonesian.

Indonesia
I am Dutch, but I have lived 26 of my now 77 years in Indonesia. Presently with my wife I settled in Spain. In retirement we re-visited Bali (which I have known since 1969 when Bali was still untouched by mass tourism) and explored Aceh, Sumbawa, Flores, Timor (including Timor-Leste) and West-Kalimantan. Our interests are history, culture and unspoiled nature. I am open to any questions, if your travelling style is off-the-beaten path.

Java
I am Dutch, but I have lived 26 of my now 75 years in Java. Presently with my wife I settled in Spain. As we lived and worked there, we know many places in Java that your typical mass tourist passes by. Our interests are history, culture and unspoiled nature. I am open to any questions, if your travelling style is off-the-beaten path.
