Togean Islands – Bajo Tribe & Local Heroes of Kabalutan, Sulawesi
The Sabang to Merauke journey continues in the breathtaking Togean Islands, Sulawesi! This time, I travel to Buka Buka Island, home to Reconnect Resort, a self-sustainable eco-resort built by Thomas Despin. He shares the challenges and rewards of running a resort on a remote island, while we explore the incredible diving around Buka Buka and meet fascinating travelers like Ryan, a digital nomad with a unique lifestyle.
Next, we journey to the Bajo Tribe village of Kabalutan, a floating village built on coral reefs. Here, we meet viral content creator Dinda Bajoe, who turned her simple village life into a career, and talk with Pak Jago, the legendary diver featured in Netflix’s Jago: A Life Underwater.
But this trip is more than just adventure—we bring special gifts!
🎒 School supplies for the local kids
🎣 Fishing gear for the community
🎁 A care package for 2,000+ villagers, thanks to Kahf
