Here’s a recap of our recent crochet gathering in Jakarta — a heartwarming day of sharing stories, learning new techniques, and celebrating the beauty of handmade traditions. Oma, with her years of experience, guided us through her favorite stitches and shared the meaning behind every yarn she holds.

This event was more than just a creative workshop. It was a chance to connect across generations, slow down, and create with intention.

We’re also deeply grateful to our kind sponsors who made the day even more special: @soeurs.project , @yarnislandco , @naami.scents , and @mysaspacejakarta

Thank you to everyone who came with an open heart and left with new skills and meaningful memories. Until next time, keep creating and connecting.

Jakarta is often seen in fast-forward. But slow it down, and you’ll see a different story. One made not of traffic or towers, but of people, pockets of history, and quiet resilience.

Wander through the alleys of Glodok, where incense lingers and stories of old Chinatown live on through food and tradition. Visit Kota Tua, where colonial walls have weathered time and still echo with the footsteps of generations.

Beyond the skyline, Jakarta is a mosaic. Betawi culture lives in laughter-filled kitchens and rooftop gatherings. Old ports meet coffee shops, and street food tells tales no museum could hold.

This city doesn’t try to impress. It simply lives. And if you take the time to listen, Jakarta just might surprise you.

Explore Jakarta with Carita Nara — and experience the city beyond the usual.

#VisitJakarta #CulturalTripJakarta #KotaTuaJakarta #GlodokHeritage #JakartaOldTown #ExploreJakarta #WonderfulIndonesia

Kota Tua Semarang is one of Central Java’s most iconic heritage sites—a place where colonial architecture, local culture, and quiet nostalgia blend into a storybook setting. From the 18th-century Blenduk Church to narrow alleys lined with vintage buildings, every corner reflects the city’s layered history.

But instead of walking, we chose a different way to explore it—riding a Vespa. It’s a slower, more personal way to take in the atmosphere, letting the rhythm of the city unfold one street at a time. It’s not just sightseeing; it’s experiencing the soul of Semarang in motion.

If you’re planning to visit and want to explore Kota Tua in a more memorable way, you can customise your trip with Carita Nara. We’ll help you craft a route, choose the right ride, and discover stories hidden in plain sight.

#KotaTuaSemarang #ExploreSemarang #SemarangOldTown #ThingsToDoInSemarang #HistoricalTourSemarang #CulturalTripIndonesia #HeritageCityIndonesia

Semarang is very unique because it blends silence and noise in the most surprising ways — colonial buildings standing still, while motorbikes pass by in constant motion.

I spent the day weaving through streets where Chinese temples, Javanese homes, and Dutch architecture sit shoulder to shoulder — not competing, just coexisting. Local food carts line the sidewalks, offering flavors that taste like memory. I wasn’t in a rush. And maybe that’s the secret to enjoying a place like this.

It was just a one day trip, but like many hidden corners of Indonesia, this city left a deeper mark than expected.

#OneDayTrip #Semarang #ExploreSemarang #SemarangHeitage #TravelIndonesia #WonderfulIndonesi #ExploreIndonesia #CulturalJourney #LocalExperience

Semarang doesn’t shout for attention. It draws you in quietly, through stories etched in its streets and flavors that linger long after.

Walk through Kota Lama and the past feels oddly present. Dutch colonial buildings stand still, not as relics but as storytellers. They whisper tales of trade, voyages, and encounters that shaped a city unlike any other on Java’s northern coast.

Then there’s the mix. Chinese temples sit beside Javanese warungs. Art Deco facades rise not far from bustling kampungs. In Semarang, contrast doesn’t clash. It coexists, gracefully.

And if you follow the smell of spices up the hills, you’ll find more than just good food. You’ll find views, quiet corners, and a rhythm that’s both slow and alive.

Semarang isn’t just a stop. It’s a layered journey for those who look a little closer.

Experiencing the Vesak celebration at Borobudur was a moment to remember.

Letting go of the lanterns, we made space for peace and carried home lasting memories.

We’re trying an unusual trip to Jogja: riding an ATV!!

The most shocking part? We’re riding in the area surrounding an active volcano, yes, Merapi!

It was insanely fun because the tracks are no joke, rocky roads, river crossings, muddy paths, all wrapped in epic views.

Definitely not your typical vacation ride. Would you dare to try this?

A legacy almost lost, now lovingly revived.

Batik Tulis Lasem Nyah Kiok carries the spirit of generations past—handcrafted with devotion, dyed with stories, and rooted in Lasem’s centuries-old cultural fusion.

After the passing of Liem Kiok Nio (Nyah Kiok) in 2009, the legacy of this iconic batik house began to fade. But in early 2024, her eldest son, Sulistyono, brought it back to life—committed to preserving the craft, the process, and the identity of fine Lasem batik.

Watch the full story behind Batik Nyah Kiok—where tradition is not only remembered, but reawakened.

Step Into the Heart of Batik Lasem, Where Cultures Intertwine

Tucked away in Lasem, a small town on the northern coast of Central Java, Batik Lasem tells a powerful story of cultural harmony. This unique batik tradition was introduced by early Chinese settlers over 500 years ago and grew through generations of exchange with the local Javanese community.

Batik Lasem is famous for its bold red color, known locally as abang getih pitik, which translates to “the red of chicken’s blood.” This deep red tone symbolizes strength, vitality, and courage—making it a signature element that sets Batik Lasem apart from other regional styles.

While each motif in Batik Lasem carries its own symbolism, this post focuses on the rich cultural heritage and living tradition behind the craft rather than a detailed explanation of each pattern.

Travelers can visit traditional batik houses, walk through historical kampungs, and meet local artisans who continue to preserve this centuries-old legacy. Lasem offers an immersive and meaningful experience for cultural explorers.

This hidden town is rich in Chinese-Javanese heritage. Every corner holds stories from the past that will spark your curiosity.

It’s rarely found on tourist maps—but that’s exactly why it’s worth the journey.

#Lasem #HeritageCity #ExploreLasem #WonderfulIndonesia #WhereToGoLasem

Lasem may not be the first name that comes to mind when thinking of travel destinations, but this small coastal town in Central Java carries a history that predates many better-known places.

Often referred to as the “”Little China”” of Java, Lasem stands as a unique crossroads of culture, where Javanese traditions blend seamlessly with centuries of Chinese heritage.

More than just a historical site, Lasem invites a slower, more reflective kind of travel. It’s a destination for those who appreciate heritage, value authenticity, and seek the deeper stories behind the places they explore.

Discover Lasem—not just as a destination, but as a living archive of Indonesia’s rich cultural journey.

Every year, the royal court of Yogyakarta (Keraton Jogja) holds Grebeg Syawal, a special tradition to mark the joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr. This grand celebration features a towering offering of food, known as gunungan, which symbolizes gratitude and prosperity.

As the gunungan is paraded and later shared with the public, it reflects a deep cultural value, harmony between the palace and the people.

Would you love to experience this unique tradition firsthand?
