📚Solo Indo: Part 1 of 3. “I bought a 230cc trail-bike in Bali with plans to ride it as far east in Indonesia as I could go” -Tom de Souza @storiesfromthescenicroute 📝 Tom DeSouza is quite simply a core surfer doing core things. He stands up to the knocks of life and has a healthy thirst for adventure. He’s one of those rare people who actually follows through on the wild ideas most of us only talk about. Tom has already packed a lifetime’s worth of experiences into just a few decades—battling meth addiction and time in juvenile detention as a teen, before completely turning his life around. Since then, he’s built an impressive career as an award-winning journalist, contributed to the West Australian, worked with BBC Indonesia, and had his photography showcased on ABC TV and in major ad campaigns. 🏍️ Tom recently travelled through Indonesia solo on a motorbike. We got him some essential gear build to stand up to the test. This is a look at how the adventure came about, and his biggest challenges along the way. All photos by Tom de Souza #CREATURESOFLEISURE
