I am so glad that you found this website.

​

This platform is a result of my own desire as an expat in Jakarta. When I moved here with my family, I wished an easy overview existed of places to go and where to find certain things. Moving to a new city is a big adventure, but can also feel lonely. If only someone could guide you.

​

And that is what the idea is of this website: guiding you to the best places in Jakarta. Not as a tourist, but as someone living in the city. In fact, I am still discovering gems in Jakarta every day. Rather than doing this search by myself, why not share it with others?

​

I hope that it makes your move a little easier. And fun. We should absolutely not forget about the fun.

​

Enjoy!

Disclaimer

Of course, “the best” place in town is very subjective because it is personal. That is exactly what this website is about: personal recommendations about places in Jakarta that are being liked by myself and other expats in the community. This platform is not meant to be all-inclusive, and negative reviews cannot be found either. I only write about places to recommend. And I try to focus as much as possible on authentic gems outside the large malls and hotels.
