It was what you might call a career setback. I disagreed with how customers and employees were treated, so I quit my job. What did I do next? Got on a plane to Indonesia, flew for 23 hours, had a quick meal in Bali and rented a motorbike.Within minutes I was cascading into jam-packed roundabouts and learning to drive on the wrong side of the road. The central principle of Indonesian traffic, I soon learned, is to use every inch of asphalt. If cars and motorbikes are all traveling in one direction, everybody uses the oncoming lane as well. If…

For many tourists, travel to Indonesia means one thing – a holiday in Bali, the Island of the Gods and one of Southeast Asia’s best-loved tropical islands. Around…

Below the surface, monumental forms drifted like icebergs. Two whale sharks, the largest fish on the planet, glided around me, their blue-gray skin a Morse code of chalky dots and dashes. But then my guide, Yoyok Hariawan, took my hand in the water, which instantly calmed me. As we bobbed on the surface together, he pointed out the animals’ distinctively shaped caudal fins, their unexpectedly cartoonish smiles, and their preternatural grace.…
