Dear Readers,

February is synonymous with Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re in love or not, you can’t deny signs of affection instilled stronger everywhere you go. Celebrations of love aren’t determined by grand gestures only. After all, the small things in life matter too and they’re what we secretly yearn for.

This Valentine's issue, Indonesia Expat is exploring compelling stories around love that are given and received. From wedding traditions, modern dating, meeting “the one” online, places to spend Valentine’s Day in Bali, philosophical and modern insights on love, Bali’s best cocktail hubs, to activities not only reserved for the day of affection, you’re bound to be benefitted from or informed with these topics.

Don’t forget, we’re working on more digital content with our YouTube channel, Indonesia Expat. This includes our new series entitled “Welcome to Indonesia: The Series”, where we cover insights into food, leisure, community, travel, tips, guides, and plenty more. Stay tuned by subscribing to our channel!
