WELLIESCAPE: Visit West Sumatra

Sometimes we need fresh air and challenging-activities to survive from boring routines, don’t you agree?

So, this time I chose West Sumatra as my very first nature-road-trip to explore.

And yeps, so many people asked me why I chose West Sumatra as my holiday destination.

And I said, well,as I heard from people, it has beautiful nature sight and clean blue sea.

And yah, so I’m so curious about it.

After landed at Minangkabau’s Airport, you can see mountains surround you. Fyi, even there’re a lots of mountains doesn’t mean the weather’s cool like you imagine.

First impression of West Sumatra: it’s a beautiful place to escape from hectic –loud city.

Along the way, you can see mountain on the left side and sea on the right side at once.
