Hi there, I’m a local who calls Yogyakarta, Indonesia home. This city isn't just a place on a map for me; it's where I grew up, and every single corner holds a memory that makes me constantly miss being here. If you’re planning a trip to Indonesia, let me be your personal guide! There are so many charming and must-visit places in Yogyakarta or Jogja, as we lovingly call it that you absolutely have to see.

I truly believe Indonesia is a slice of paradise! Being nestled right in the 'Ring of Fire' has gifted this country with so many stunning natural landscapes that you simply must explore. I've already explored quite a few of them, and my ultimate goal is to trek through all of Indonesia’s breathtaking wilderness. If hiking is your passion, I would first recommend the mountains of Java. I promise you'll be mesmerized by their incredible beauty.

I have loved drawing since I was a little kid. I don't believe any good drawing comes from talent, it's all about years and years of practice until you get there. I've never held a solo exhibition in the real world, though I hope to do so someday in a city I dream of. For now, please enjoy my mini art exhibition, it's not much, I know. I haven't been drawing too frequently myself lately, but here is the archive of my work over the years. I also post them on my Instagram accounts @rycca.art and @ericka.area. Feel free to connect with me there! Enjoy my virtual exhibition, which I've titled 'Timeline of Life'.
