Sumara Warsito

24 Dec Sumara Warsito

I’m Sumara from Kintamani, Bali. Kintamani is very well known for the Arabica Coffee that is grown in the Western part of Kintamani. There are a lot of cool things that exist in Kintamani, like the Indigenous Village (Bali Mula), Kintamani Orange, the largest lake in Bali called Danau Batur, and of course the Sunrise Hike in Mount Batur which has always been a tourist favorite.

What is your favorite food?

Sate (Skewer) is still my favorite dish, especially Sate Kambing.

What is your favorite Balinese holiday?

Nyepi is my favorite Balinese holiday because on this day we as Balinese gather with our family and reflect on ourselves too

The best piece of advice you want to give to someone traveling to Bali?

I would suggest to whoever wants to travel to Bali to be more present, open minded, respect the culture, travel with responsibility, and of course try the local cuisine 😀

What is your favorite word in Balinese, that has no direct translation to English?

“Kenyemin gén” (this phrase in Balinese means “Just smile at it” – no matter if that is good or not).
