Trinity

is Indonesia’s leading travel writer. In 2005, she started a travel blog at naked-traveler.com and in less than two years the blog was already nominated as Finalist in Indonesia’s Best Blog Award at Pesta Blogger. This led her to switch her corporate career to become full-time traveler and freelance travel writer.

Her debut book “The Naked Traveler” was a compilation of thoughtful but hilarious short stories from her adventure around the world. The book inspired many Indonesians, especially the youth, to travel – something that was rarely done at that time. Up to now, “The Naked Traveler” has been published in its third sequel and all are Indonesia’s best-selling travel book to date.

Together with Erastiany and illustrator Sheila Rooswitha, they created Indonesia’s first graphic travelogue “Duo Hippo Dinamis: Tersesat di Byzantium” (The Dynamic Hippos: Lost in Byzantium) about traveling misadventure of two fat girls in Turkey. She also contributed to anthology “The Journeys” along with 11 other writers.

Between dealing in her writing deadline, she still found time to become Editor in Chief of Venture travel magazine, regular contributor of Yahoo! Travel, contributor for various magazines, radio personality of Indika FM, social media entrepreneur, and speaker in creative writing/blogging/tourism events. In 2010, Trinity won “Indonesia Travel & Tourism Awards” as Indonesia Leading Travel Writer and dubbed as “Heroine for Indonesian tourism” by The Jakarta Post.

Trinity has Bachelor Degree in Communications from Universitas Diponegoro, Semarang, Indonesia, and awarded Asian Development Bank-Japan Scholarship to take up Master in Management in Asian Institute of Management, Manila, Philippines.

She has traveled to almost all provinces in Indonesia as well as 46 countries and counting. In any case, she thinks Indonesia is yet the best country ever.
