In Brief

Rahmi Shofia, known as Mimi Campervan, left her office job and started traveling across Indonesia in a self-converted camper van in late 2022. In two years, she visited about 35 locations in the eastern part of the country.

Rahmi Shofia, known as Mimi Campervan, decided to change her life after years of office work since 2010. Tired of the routine, especially during the pandemic, she chose to embark on a journey at around age 35.

She began her travels on Bali using a motorcycle, then converted a Luxio van into a camper. In late 2022, Rahmi started a full-fledged journey across Indonesia.

Over two years, she visited about 35 places in eastern Indonesia, including Bali, Flores, and East Timor.
