Her story

She reads Indonesia
like a work of art.

She is not a travel agent. She is an art conservator-historian, and a passionate connoisseur of Indonesia. For 15 years she has come to know the archipelago not through catalogues, but through its people, places, traditions and culture. She creates every Art Bali Travel journey herself — and personally guides her Guests through Indonesia.

  • Art historian and conservator of works of artShe understands what she sees — reading temples, reliefs, masks and dance like an open book.
  • A life written anewMore than once she has started everything from the beginning — from brain surgery to the loss of her daughter. It was Indonesia that taught her gratitude, humility and harmony.
  • More than 24 journeys across the archipelagoShe knows the local culture, religion and customs — and personally knows the people she invites you to meet: guides, artisans, families.
  • She leads every journey personallyFounder of Art Bali Travel and SPA&ART Bali. She does not tick off attractions — she invites you into a world that has become part of her own story.
“Travel is not about covering kilometres — it is about changing the way you see the world.”

Why Art Bali Travel

Thousands of islands. Hundreds of cultures. Different faiths. Countless human stories.
One Indonesia — an entirely different world.

01

Knowledge and experience

Every journey is led personally by an art historian — sharing the history, religion and culture of Indonesia you will not find in ordinary guidebooks.

02

Small, intimate groups

10–12 people instead of a crowd. Time for conversation, for silence, for a true encounter with places and people.

03

We support local communities

We work with Indonesian guides, drivers, artisans and families — every journey genuinely supports the people of the archipelago.

04

A bridge between Poland and Indonesia

For years we have organised events and workshops about Indonesia in Poland. We work with the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Warsaw and with partners across the islands.

05

Original journeys with heart

Not only the most beautiful places — traditions, ceremonies, art and people that turn a trip into an experience, not sightseeing.

06

Transparent terms

The full price shown for every journey, a 20% deposit, a clear scope. No asterisks, no fine print, no artificial inflation.
