Who’s Behind Backindo?

We’re Pavla and Dini—two moms, travelers, and storytellers with a deep love for Indonesia.

Pavla, a Czech native, has called Central Java home since 2017. Living among locals, she’s embraced the culture and uncovered hidden gems far beyond the usual tourist routes.

Dini, an Indonesian explorer, is always on the hunt for authentic experiences, choosing deep connections over crowded attractions.

Together, we share our unique perspectives and insider knowledge to help you discover the real Indonesia—one hidden gem at a time.
