Om Swastiastu, tiang Mika. As a blend of Indo-French heritage, I was fortunate to grow up immersed in the vibrant culture of Bali. While my roots anchor me to the traditions and untold stories of this island, my dual background has sharpened my perspective, allowing me to view Bali both as a local and an outsider. In this series, I don't just guide you through Bali; I share the Bali that has shaped me, offering insights only a native with a touch of foreign curiosity can provide.

Embark on a captivating journey through time, diving deep into the vibrant history of Indonesia. From the mighty Hindu-Buddhist empires that once ruled the lands to the gripping tales of European colonization, and finally, the resilient spirit of independence, Indonesia's story is a blend of cultures, conflicts, and celebrations. With each historical layer, uncover the richness that shaped this archipelago into the diverse nation it stands as today. Selamat menonton!
