Les bonnes îles. Les bonnes adresses.
Ton voyage prend forme.

More than 100 people have sent me the same message: where do I stay in Raja Ampat? Choose the wrong island and you spend half your trip on transfer boats going back to spots that were right next door. So I cleaned up my own travel notebook and turned it into this: four itineraries written day by day, the homestays I actually slept in, and the real receipts for each route.

Why this place

This is my own travel notebook, cleaned up. Read it that way: not a brochure, but what I wrote down island by island. Which order makes sense, where to sleep each night, what it actually cost, and what nobody tells you until you are already there.

Every contact in it is someone I met, stayed with or dived with myself.

This is v1. The guide keeps growing, and every update is sent to you free. You buy it once.

Inside The Guide

What's inside

Four complete itineraries, written day by day: 7, 10, 15 and 21 days. A chapter on choosing your island, and another on the homestays themselves, the ones I slept in and the ones I would book next, with what I paid. Then the budget, in real receipts, per route. Plus an interactive map with every spot pinned.
