The day this picture was taken I had a little but of an epiphany... Kupang is actually beautiful! Once the weather cleared and I got out of the city I realized how stunning this place is and how I have been grumpy and taking it for granted. It only took me 3 weeks of being in Kupang to figure it out so I have decided to make a TWO MINUTE TRAVEL GUIDE for Kupang, so travellers can enjoy and appreciate this remote and worthwhile part of Indo.
Kupang is the capital of Nusa Tenggara Timur, come here to escape the tourists (NOT the hey mistas), visit traditional rural Indo, and island hop to nearby Komodo, Alor and Flores.
The two minute video is meant to be a practical video guide on where to sleep, where to eat and what to do while you are visiting. I have spent less than a month total in Kupang and don't pretend to know all the best stops but these are my favorite so far. While I usually look through guide books I prefer to rely on the advice of fellow travelers - not to mention that the Lonely Planet has it all wrong when it comes to Kupang! So, if you or anyone you know is travelling to Indonesia and especially Timur please send them this video!
