Java is famous for its many natural sights such as volcanos and waterfalls but it is also the most populous island of the country and with that the historic and cultural center of Indonesia. This Java documentary aims to show the diversity of this island covering the historic and religious background, explaining the cultural roots as well as the culinary variety one can find here besides the natural and man made sights.

This Java Travel Documentary is the first part of a Documentary Series called „Indonesia is not only Bali“. While many visitors mainly focus on Bali alone, Indonesia with its more than 17,000 islands offers a wealth of incredible destinations each with its unique charm and attractions.
Therefore my plan was to visit a number of different destinations to showcase the diversity of the country to the best of my ability. I’ll be starting my trip off with the largest island, called Java where I’ll be exploring the cities of Jakarta and Yogyakarta to understand the historical and religious background before meeting my friends from Portugal and heading into the nature to see volcanoes, waterfalls and some of the largest jungle temples in the world.
In order to show you the whole diversity of Indonesia we tried to cover the majority of sights in this Java Documentary from the west over the center to the east as well as the volcanos and waterfalls in the center of Java.
You can use this Java Documentary to plan your own trip to Java, on my website you’ll find all essential information needed.

That intro is awesome!! Looking forward to this series. It's definitely more than just Bali. 🇮🇩
It was beautiful
hello steve how is going? good vid. same like mine 🙂
i love your voice when will you visit Pakistan <3
In the age of creators travelling to create viral content, your travel documentary is truly noble and top-notch quality.
Absolutely nice! 😉
Das ist einfach so sooo gut geworden! 🥰🥰🥰
awesome video!
You are very extraordinary when you describe Indonesia. This video summarizes most of Indonesia. Both geographically, culturally, history, and socio-economically, tourist destinations, religions, etc. This video can provide information and general knowledge about Indonesia. Thank you for visiting and introducing Indonesia to the world. Great job, and thank you. ❤🤍
The details, the details, the details ❤
It's been a hot minute but I'm super excited to share this adventure with you. A lot of you have asked why there was so little content in the past few months, the answer is simply that I wasn't really able to go on longer adventures like that for a while due to the effect of the pandemic. Adding to that is the fact that I shifted my focus to creating in-depth long format documentaries which take a lot of time and effort to produce. For instance: this video was filmed in Indonesia over the course of 3 weeks, while the production & editing incl. sound design, motion design and color grading took about 6 weeks. After traveling for altogether 6 months in Asia & South America I currently have quite the backlog of content I'm working on right now. So please be patient as I'm publishing new content bit by bit, it just takes a bit longer to produce but in the end I want to provide educational yet entertaining travel documentaries that represent a destination and the travel experience as best as possible. Thanks for following along and all your motivating & uplifting messages and comments.
When is the next video coming excited!!
so glad you are back ! love your work !!!
Interesting vid. I always enjoy your videos

You missed the world's biggest supervolcano lake: Toba Lake, North Sumatra. (Demographic: 95% Christians, 5% others)
Really nice video ❤
This is a fantastic video. Indonesia 🇮🇩 is in my bucket list. Hope to go there soon. At the moment we're travelling in the major cities in Australia.
