Kopi Dulu: 15000km through Indonesia

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORLD’S MOST INVISIBLE COUNTRY15,000 kilometres – by rail, road, on foot and under sail – through 50 Indonesian islands.'Kopi Dulu' (first published by Penguin Random House SEA) was listed among Jakarta Post's 'best books of 2022'.From tracking tigers (and the mythical ‘short man’) in the Sumatra jungle to the mystical Dayak tribe that lives near the geographical centre of Borneo, this book touches on some of Indonesia’s most intriguing secrets. The author meets Tana Toraja’s ‘living dead’, the Bugis people (once known as the Bogeymen) who build and sail the spectacular Sulawesi schooners and the villagers who are literally besieged by dragons in the Komodo archipelago. He surfs the legendary reefs of G-Land, Nias and Occy’s Left (and pioneers a previously unsurfed wave in the remote Alor Archipelago). He road-trips across Sulawesi and Flores and sails in the wake of Alfred Russel Wallace around Spice Islands that have remained largely unchanged for centuries.“. . . a soldier of fortune or Legionnaire of the travel writing business!”—Korean Airlinesmagazine“. . . a borderline insane modern-day explorer.”—Maximmagazine.“Rife with discovery, the kind that modern-day travel writing is starved of.
