"THERE'S ALWAYS A HIGHER SKY & DEEPER SEA OUT THERE" Seph_Aryo's Profile

My name is Hosea Aryo Bimo W.N. You can called me Bimo for short.

I'm a IT staff who happened to study majoring in Archaeology and Psychology, an Amateur Archaeologist & Psychologist. I also a Theater Activist, Movie & Theater Reviewer, Writer, Poet, Game Tester, Mountaineer, Traveler, Tarot Reader, Dancer, Historical Re-enactor, and Photographer. I enjoy good food, good drink, relaxed atmosphere, and spent most of my time traveling toward historical and cultural places.

there is a strange connection between me and historical & cultural places since most of the time i end up in that kind of places during my journey. There is many untold stories i can share from my journey, many strange experience that i think i should safe it later to share

sadly, most of my data regarding my past journey were scattered everywhere specially since most of the time i use non digital equipment to documented it.

Ratu Boko Palace, Yogyakarta, January 2000

My interest in traveling first came when i still a little child. My father always took me everywhere from town to town and country to country due his business trip. It was strengthened when my family knew that i had a big interest in Archaeology, History, and Nature since i spend much time watching all things about that. Documentary Movie were a-must for me and spark an urge to travel everywhere [which i started when i was 6 years old]

The calling were quite right when i became an Archaeology Student. Since i have already became a Mountaineer [learning much from my father and grandfather] i spent my time as an Archaeology Student on a journey. Jogjakarta - Solo - Semarang were my frequent route, backpacking along the way.

Although now i became a Psychology Student [due my habit as an observer], and have already got a settle job as an IT Staff, those calling were far from over and my dream to walk the earth and beyond were far from over.

Member of Theater Teladan SMA 3 Jakarta, in 2005

As i said before, i keep myself busy with many things and activities because there is so many things i want to do and explore. i said to myself that i still inexperienced and i want to learn from anything. So, to learn is adventure.

confuse? i though so

blatantly speaking, i just a person who have so many interest, in almost all of things [except papaya of course since i hate those fruit from the bottom of my heart].

I found the world, the nature, the universe and any being inside it was too wonderful to ignore and try my best to understand it.

My Edited Picture

Documentation i believe were a tool for we as a traveler to tell our story, our journey and i happen to like it quite much.

but one thing that became my problem lately, that is reorganizing all my data regarding my journey and make it as a soft copy.

to tell the truth, i took many picture along my journey, ranging from just a walk away on the neighborhood to what i called "Combat Drop" [that is mountaineering or Expedition] with every tools i have and some of it need to be reorganized since it don't have a digital properties.

Did I told you that i was a Historical Re-enactor? My interest in Archaeology & History sometimes taken the best of me in my journey. And i also joint a Re-enactor Organization in my place called IDR [stand for INDONESIA REENACTOR] for actualization. We did some re-enactment together, we did discussion, and some short indie movie. But most of all, we have fun.
