(Courtesy of Youtube) I am Ika Permatasari-Olsen, a woman from Surabaya who has lived a nomadic life on a yacht for five years. Since deciding to stay on the ship, many have questioned my choice to stay on the ship with my husband. My husband and I, Oeyvind Olsen, who are Norwegian citizens, have been spending our daily time sailing European waters since 2018. We decided to go on an adventure by boat, even though we often get lots of 'sneaky' comments from people around us. I feel happy and comfortable living my sailing life on a ship. Actually, on the first day of sailing and the ship was immediately hit by a storm, I wanted to go straight home. But, over time I discovered sailing on a sunny day, the experience turned out to be more enjoyable and addictive until now. At first I commuted from Surabaya to Europe almost every month because of work demands. When not holding the steering wheel, I work remotely for a software company owned by Singapore, which has a branch in Surabay

  The world's largest archipelago nation is known as Indonesia. In actuality, Indonesia is made up of more than 17,000 islands, both large and tiny, spanning 5000 km from Merauke in West Papua on the east to Sabang Island in the northernmost part of Sumatra Island on the west. When you superimposed over Europe and the United States of America, you will see that it extends from Ireland to Iran and from California to Bermuda over Europe. It goes without saying that Indonesia is also referred to as an equatorial emerald necklace.Marine transportation is the best way of enjoying its beauty as well as its vastness.    You'd love it crusing in Radja Ampat, West Papua. The greatest way to see Indonesia's natural beauty, according to maritime lovers, is to leisurely sail between the scattered islands in boats, yachts, or ships that were built with living quarters on board. Imagine living on a "floating hotel" that has toilets, bedrooms, and three meals per day.  (Cour

  Balaputradewa Museum in Palembang, South Sumtra. About 35 percent of the 8.9 million hectares of land area in South Sumatra is lowland or wetlands. Both peat swamps, rivers and mangroves. In the wetland landscape live hundreds of species of freshwater fish. For dozens of centuries, various types of fish have been the main food of the community. However, changes in the wetland landscape have made most types of freshwater fish extinct or rare. What efforts should be made? "Apart from saving or maintaining the remaining wetlands, it is also necessary to create a fish museum," said Dr. Yenrizal, FISIP environmental communication expert, UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. "It is hoped that the presence of the fish museum can become a source of knowledge, so that it will help motivate the community to continue to protect or protect the wetlands in South Sumatra," he said recently.
