Dayak Iban names often appear in the midst of cultures because Iban tattoos are not only unique, but offer a sacred manufacturing process. This culture is unfortunately increasingly eroded by the stigma of Indonesian people who once thought that tattoos were identical to criminal behavior. Now that milaneal has taken over social life, the tradition of drawing authentic Indonesian bodies has begun to rise again.
Beyond the beauty of the tattoo, the Iban tribe is a communal community that lives by traversing the forest and nature around them. Iban tribes live together in “longhouses” that function as “the heart” of their culture and social system. From this Long House, Iban Dayaks continue to pass on their culture to the next generation, cultural heritage that is evident in their attitude towards natural forests.

How do I become a Local Guides to promote Indonesian tourism (Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories : Local Guides X Indonesian Ministry Of Tourism)
The name of the program is “SUSUR NUSANTARA” has a special agenda to revitalize the existence of tourist spots in Indonesia that are less exposed on social media. The West Side’s fame on social media is far less than the East side’s fame, where hashtags with locations in Bali, NTB, Sulawesi and Papua are always crowded with posts by local and international netizens.
I along with the team explored 8 destinations that are rarely exposed in Indonesia. I was officially invited to collaborate because I am a co-founder of Indonesia’s largest media on Instagram, @ExploreIndonesia, and also I am an alumni of the 2017 Local Guides Summit who are very active in helping local tourism in my residential areas, Sidoarjo and Surabaya.
Not only that, my job there is to photograph the beauty of the natural, cultural and regional heritage there. But it also helps to update the location with updated points of tourist attractions on Google Maps with the Local Guides program and Street View Trusted Photographer so that it will get maximum results.
My goal for sharing this story is to show my experience when traveling to unique places in Indonesia. And also helps provide insight to other global Local Guides friends. So, I will write my stories through the title “Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories”.
Hopefully, one day, officially, @ExploreIndonesia and the Google Local Guides program also Google Maps can collaborate in Indonesia.
