Stories of Language, Culture & Connection

Selamat Datang Di Blog Saya!

 Hi there! I’m Restiany, and I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’ve just landed in Indonesia, have been living here for a while, or are supporting a loved one through their expat journey, this space is for you. 

 Through this blog, I share stories, tips, cultural insights, and Bahasa Indonesia expressions that can make your life in Indonesia easier and more meaningful. From navigating local markets and understanding cultural nuances to tackling daily conversations with confidence — I’m here to walk with you. 

 What you’ll find here is real, practical, and written with heart. These are the things I’ve learned (and taught!) over the years — from expat living rooms to corporate boardrooms, from joyful language lessons to unforgettable teaching moments.
