Our Story

Akulibur was founded in 2021 by Muhammad Irvan Hermawan, during a time of uncertainty when the pandemic reshaped how people thought about travel. What began as one person's determination to share the beauty of Indonesia grew into a dedicated travel media portal.

Built with totalitas dan independen — total commitment and independence — Akulibur reflects a genuine love for exploration. Every article is written firsthand by Irvan, drawing from personal experience across Java, Banten, Bali, and beyond.

Waterfalls — cascades tucked into lush landscapes

Regions covered include Jawa Timur, Jawa Tengah, Jawa Barat, Jakarta, Banten, Bali, Jambi, Nusa Tenggara Barat, and Yogyakarta.

Beyond the personal travel narratives, Akulibur serves as a growing digital resource for anyone planning a journey across the Indonesian archipelago. From hidden beaches and mountain trails to cultural festivals and culinary highlights, the portal curates practical insights alongside inspiring stories. The editorial approach prioritizes authenticity over sponsored content, ensuring that every recommendation reflects genuine firsthand experience rather than promotional influence. As the platform continues to evolve, readers can expect deeper coverage of lesser-known regions, practical travel tips, and a community-minded space where curiosity about Indonesia is welcomed and nurtured. Whether you are a seasoned explorer or a first-time visitor, Akulibur invites you to see the country through the eyes of someone who truly lives and breathes its wonders.

Beyond the Blog

Akulibur is also the starting point for a broader vision. A sister project, Liburanaja, was conceived as a marketplace connecting travelers with local tourism service providers across Indonesia.

While Akulibur remains focused on inspiring and informing through content, the Liburanaja initiative reflects the same mission: making Indonesian travel more accessible and rewarding for everyone.
