Togean Islands - Bajo Tribe & Local Heroes of Kabalutan, Sulawesi

The Sabang to Merauke journey continues in the breathtaking Togean Islands, Sulawesi! This time, I travel to Buka Buka Island, home to Reconnect Resort, a self-sustainable eco-resort built by Thomas Despin. He shares the challenges and rewards of running a resort on a remote island, while we explore the incredible diving around Buka Buka and meet fascinating travelers like Ryan, a digital nomad with a unique lifestyle. Next, we journey to the Bajo Tribe village of Kabalutan, a floating village built on coral reefs. Here, we meet viral content creator Dinda Bajoe, who turned her simple village life into a career, and talk with Pak Jago, the legendary diver featured in Netflix’s Jago: A Life Underwater. But this trip is more than just adventure—we bring special gifts! 🎒 School supplies for the local kids 🎣 Fishing gear for the community 🎁 A care package for 2,000+ villagers, thanks to Kahf This episode is packed with smiling faces, laughter, and unforgettable moments in Kabalutan, Togean Islands, Sulawesi.
