"When I think about travel, the first place that comes to mind is Indonesia. The consistency of the waves, the tropical climate, a culture different from ours, beautiful landscapes and a really low cost of living… There are so many reasons that make Indonesia a paradise for me. Pacitan on the island of Java is a real swell magnet and the waves are insane for bodyboarding. The locals are welcoming and I almost feel at home there. It is my favourite place to rest after six months of coaching at the Pride Training Club Carcavelos!"
