This was my second time at Casa Nemo, and I can’t wait to get back there again soon. Smooth arrangement of reservations and transportation. The location and concept is fantastic, with a restaurant up top, bungalows perched on the hill, going down to a beach bar and beautiful beach with coral for instant snorkelling right off shore. And yet as great as all that is the best part is the wonderful group of people that work there. Keep up the excellent work team Casa Nemo. #wecreate

The beach with the best view on the island of Weh - Sabang !!!!! It's a shame the access from the main road is still a rock that can still be passed by cars and motorbikes but it's not flat and comfortable and small it can't be for 2 vehicles to enter at the same time. Entrance when I came here was free, and apparently it was not paid for. This beach is not sandy, it is highly recommended to visit in the morning, because it is very nice to see the sunrise.. #wecreate #sabang

Hearing the name Sabang, who doesn't know? This place, which is located at the western tip of Indonesia, is familiar to us from the songs of Sabang to Merauke. However, actually Sabang is not the name of an island, but a city located on the island of Weh. Yes, Sabang is located on Pulau Weh. An island known for its strategic location and natural scenery. Pulau Weh is a volcanically formed island. No wonder even on the edge of the sea, you can still find typical volcanic stones that are easy to find. This also affects the fertility of the soil. Some of the green forest cover that is still intact can be found in the western part of the island. When driving to an iconic destination on Pulau Weh, namely KM 0 – a symbol of the outermost boundary of the Republic of Indonesia, visitors can encounter tropical forests. Often on the road, a group of long-tailed monkeys are on the road to relax. #beaches

#nationalday Every year, on August 17th, the spirit of independence surges in the hearts of every Indonesian citizen. The historic moments of the proclamation of Indonesian independence are commemorated by all Indonesian people, from Sabang to Merauke. The celebration of the Republic of Indonesia's Independence Day is not just a ceremonial event and speeches. This event is a symbol of respect for the struggle of the heroes who died fighting for independence. The red and white flag-raising ceremony is the peak of the moment, reminding us all of the price that must be paid to achieve independence. Various levels of society participate in this ceremony. The uniqueness of the August 17th celebration also lies in the diversity of places where it is held. Not only in ordinary ceremonial fields, but also in unique places such as mountains, beaches, rivers, and even under the sea. The natural beauty of Indonesia is a stunning backdrop, emphasizing that independence is the right of every citizen, wherever they are. In schools, offices, or even homes, independence ceremonies are a place to foster a sense of love for the homeland. Not infrequently, people deliberately seek out a new atmosphere, inviting everyone to reflect on the meaning of independence in other environments. Activities such as mountain climbing, diving under the sea, or holding a ceremony in the middle of a mangrove forest, provide a different experience to this celebration. The commemoration of August 17 is a momentum to remember the long struggle of the Indonesian people in seizing independence from the grip of the colonizers. However, more than that, this celebration is a creative and unique expression of the Indonesian people. All of this does not reduce the meaning of the celebration of Independence Day, which frees them all to freely express themselves, on the anniversary of this country's independence.#nationalday #indonesia 📍Address:

The first moment captured on this trip is one that embodies the essence of tranquility and connection with nature. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange, pink, and gold, I found myself at the edge of the world, or at least, it felt that way. This sunset was more than just a beautiful view—it was a reminder of the simple yet profound pleasures that travel offers. Standing there, with the waves gently lapping at the shore and the cool breeze brushing against my face, time seemed to slow down. The world felt incredibly vast, yet intimately close, as if the universe was whispering secrets through the rustling leaves and the distant call of a seabird. This was a moment to breathe deeply, to let go of the rush of everyday life, and to simply be present. There's something magical about the way the sky transitions from day to night. It's a daily occurrence, yet when you're far from home, experiencing it in a new place, it feels almost like the first time. The colors are more vibrant, the air more alive, and the peace that settles over you more profound. Travel isn't always about the grand adventures or the adrenaline rush of exploring the unknown; sometimes, it's about these quiet moments that stay with you long after the trip is over. This sunset will forever be etched in my memory as a reminder of the beauty that exists in the world, and the importance of pausing to appreciate it. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or someone who dreams of exploring new places, moments like these are what make the journey worthwhile.
