The Road to Luwuk - 1000km Solo Road Trip (Sulawesi, Indonesia)

In this episode of the Sabang to Merauke series, I go on another 1000km solo road trip from Kendari in Southeast Sulawesi to Luwuk in Central Sulawesi, marking my 15th province in Indonesia. On Day 1, I face a mix of adventure and challenges, starting with getting lost on bumpy dirt roads en route to Morowali, where I meet some of my subscribers. After a long ride, I arrive at Maleo Hotel in Bahodopi, an industrial city in Sulawesi, where I spend the night with factory workers. Day 2 on the road takes me to Kolonodale in the scorching 33-degree heat. On the road, the locals welcome me wherever I go, and I show you some of the benefits you can get when filling up with the MyPertamina app. Trying to catch some cool drone clips ends with a small crash and I end the day resting at Daffa Homey House, a cozy stop before venturing out to find ferry schedules and enjoy my favourite Indonesian food in a small local restaurant. On Day 3, I catch a ferry from Kolonodale to Siliti, where the locals entertain me at the port, and I return the favour by pretending to be port staff. Thanks to the ferry captain, I enjoy the luxury of staying in his cabin. But disembarking proves tough as seasickness hits hard. I then brave heavy rain to reach Luwuk before dark, rewarded with breathtaking views of the city once I arrive. Stay tuned for the next episode, where I set out to explore the beautiful Banggai Islands. ► MERCHANDISE Did you like my t-shirt and also want to support my journey? • Tokopedia: https://www.tokopedia.com/invictusbasic/etalase/invictus-x-kristian-hansen • Shopee: https://shopee.co.id/invictusbasic?shopCollection=247323479#product_list ► FOLLOW MY JOURNEY • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekristianhansen/ • Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/TheKristianHansen/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/kristianhansen • Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekristianhansen • Website/Blog: https://www.thekristianhansen.com/ ► HOW TO SUPPORT • Support as a Youtube member: https://rebrand.ly/90ar3p5 • Support the trip (from Indonesia): http://rb.gy/wz3dyz • Support the trip (Worldwide): https://paypal.me/KBHansen • The music from this video: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/2xtknu ► LIKED MY MUSIC?
