Greetings from Indonesia!

I live in the South part of Jakarta the Capital City of Indonesia. Jakarta is one of the major city in Java Island among other big cities like Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya.

Indonesia, which is the largest archipelago in the world has more than 17.500 islands with few major islands like Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes), Maluku and Papua.
Indonesia has a population of more than 240.000.000 inhabitants with 1128 ethnics live in 33 provinces.

There are many beautiful places to visit like Lake Toba in Sumatra, Tanah Toraja in Sulawesi, or see the "one horn" Javanese Rhino (rhinoceros sandaicus) in Ujung Kulon National Park. Visit the Borobudur Temple one of the Unesco WHS in Yogyakarta, or see the famous Komodo (varanus komodoensis) well-known as the largest lizard in the world. Or even go and climb one of the seven summit mountains in the world, Jayakesuma peak (Carstenzs Pyramide) 4884 meters above sea level in the snowy mountains of Jayawijaya,Papua. A journey to the hinterlands of Kalimantan Island and of course you must see the exotic Bali Island.

I collect postcards and real posted covers with nice stamps on it and cancelled with clear postmarks.

Besides postcards and covers i also collect stamps worldwide, especially mint stamps in complete sets.
My favorite themes of stamps are Birds, Butterflies, Bridges, Trains, Wildlife Animals, Insects and Culture.

You can see my collection of postcards, covers, maximum cards, stamps, banknotes and everything about bird stamps at,

I like postcrossing because I enjoy the feeling of being in touch with peoples around the world.
Thanks for the great idea of Postcrossing !

I welcome every postcard, but I would very much enjoy postcards with these following themes,

- Birds
- Butterflies
- World Heritage Sites/UNESCO
- Bridges
- Trains
- Bicycles
- Maps
- Architecture
- Lighthouses

Please send me a postcard with stamps on it, not a blank postcard in an envelope.
Write me something about your country, your city, or even about yourself and maybe one or two words in your native language.

Have a nice day !
