Dear Valuable Customers, Friends, Families, Brothers and Sisters
First, I would like to greet you and welcome you to our
ECOTOURISM HOMEPAGE
Also, I wish you health, happiness, and peace in your life. I’m
happy when you are happy because this makes me happy too. I think
that I was born to make people happy and cheerful. To see people
smiling and happy gives me great satisfaction That’s why I love
working in the tourism industry, which I have been doing since 1991.
GUIDING IS MY BREAD AND BUTTER.
I come originally from Banjarmasin, South Borneo but grown up in Kumai, Central Borneo, Indonesia – but I left
my hometown when I was thirteen (13) years old. I left my Home Sweet
Home and went to Java. I lived in Java for several years, then in
Bali for two years. Finally I went to Lombok Island for the first
time in 1993, fell in love with the place, and decided to make it my
home. Lombok Island is now the place where I live and am building my
career. STRANDED ON THE BEAUTIFUL
ISLAND OF LOMBOK IS A GOOD PLACE
TO BE.
Life is unpredictable! God is Great! In October 2002 I was given the
opportunity to visit Europe: My first long journey by air away from
my own country. Exciting! I visited many places in Europe which have
left me with many new experiences and very sweet memories. Again, in
January 2004, I was given a second opportunity to visit Europe, but
nothing can equal that first experience. However, the second time
gives you the chance to see and do things that there was not the
time to do before. Thank you! Thank you to dear Mrs. Barczik and her
family for giving a gift that not even in my wildest dreams I could
ever imagine happening to me. May God bless you and yours and grant
you a long life filled with happiness and peace.
I now work mostly behind the scenes as I am getting older (but not
too old). Operating my Licensed Tours and Travel Company and
developing my website (www.korindo-network.com, www.bagus-travel.com,
www.gili-lombok.com and www.indonesia-expedition.com) takes up a great deal of my time.
Now that I cannot spend so much time ‘on the ground’ I have formed a
team from my many Indonesian friends in the many provinces we visit.
(I have many foreign friends also.) They have traveled with me to
the different tourist destinations I have chosen, and I have trained
them to be knowledgeable, reliable, responsible, and honest guides.
I married a lovely Lombok girl in 2004 and we expect our first baby
towards the end of March 2008 (she
was born 3rd of April 2008, she is now 3,8 years old). This means I now have
responsibilities to others which will keep me most of the time at my
Lombok home. Sometimes I am a little homesick for my traveler’s life
but ‘Cést la vie’ – that’s life! Anyway, Lombok is a close neighbor
of the island of Bali – just a 20 minute flight and 4-5 hours by
slow inter-island ferry.
I write all this about me (please take a look at the pictures of me,
my daughter and my wife above) so that you can get to know something about me and my
Company –
KORINDO NETWORK LINTAS RAYA, PT.
I want you also to know something about our destinations, goals,
hopes, and dreams. Do always keep in touch with me so that you are
up-to-date with what we are doing now, and will do in the future. My
little diary will help us get to know each other and I hope we keep
in contact for a long time. Maybe one day you will see a tour that
is of particular interest to you and we can meet face-to-face.
Greetings and best wishes to you in all the seven (7) continents.
I do hope you will enjoy surfing our website
Yours sincerely,
Gilang .R. Albanjari and Groups
