Selama ini, tulisan perjalanan di media kebanyakan isinya tentang yang indah-indah saja. Seperti brosur yang menggunakan kalimat yang berbunga-bunga dan foto-foto hasil rekayasa digital agar pembaca tergerak untuk mengunjungi suatu tempat. Padahal traveling tidak selalu enak dan nyaman. Suatu tempat tidak selalu indah dan bagus. Kenangan perjalanan yang paling Trinity ingat pun bukanlah tentang keindahan arsitektur suatu bangunan atau putihnya pasir pantai, tapi pesawat yang delay atau orang lokal yang tidak ramah. Pengalaman (yang sering tidak terduga) saat melakukan perjalanan adalah jauh lebih berwarna. Seperti kata it’s not the destination, but the journey. Like climbing to the top of the hill to gaze down on the view I love to get a different picture, a different perspective, looking at the world through someone else’s eyes always adds another flavour to our travels. I fell in love with Indonesia on my first trip through South-East Asia way back in 1972 and now I can get a glimpse of the world through Trinity’s Indonesian eyes. I may have been to many of these places before, but The Naked Traveler takes me there by a whole new route. — Tony Wheeler, pendiri Lonely Planet, penerbitan buku perjalanan terbesar di dunia Seorang penulis – seperti juga seorang jurufoto – haruslah terlebih dulu seorang pengamat yang baik. Seorang yang memiliki kamera, bisa saja menjepret seribu foto ketika baru tiba di sebuah tempat yang baru dikunjunginya. Tetapi, mungkin hanya ada satu-dua foto saja yang benar-benar unik dan menarik. Seorang pengelana harus mampu menyeleksi semua pengalaman baru yang diserapnya, dan kemudian menuliskannya secara menarik. Perucha berhasil sekaligus menjadi pengamat dan penulis yang baik. Saya menikmati tulisan-tulisannya tentang kunjungan ke berbagai tempat. — Bondan Winarno, penulis, wartawan, dan pendiri komunitas wisata boga Jalansutra

Trinity
Author · 12 books

is Indonesia’s leading travel writer. In 2005, she started a travel blog at naked-traveler.com and in less than two years the blog was already nominated as Finalist in Indonesia’s Best Blog Award at Pesta Blogger. This led her to switch her corporate career to become full-time traveler and freelance travel writer. Her debut book “The Naked Traveler” was a compilation of thoughtful but hilarious short stories from her adventure around the world. The book inspired many Indonesians, especially the youth, to travel – something that was rarely done at that time. Up to now, “The Naked Traveler” has been published in its third sequel and all are Indonesia’s best-selling travel book to date. Together with Erastiany and illustrator Sheila Rooswitha, they created Indonesia’s first graphic travelogue “Duo Hippo Dinamis: Tersesat di Byzantium” (The Dynamic Hippos: Lost in Byzantium) about traveling misadventure of two fat girls in Turkey. She also contributed to anthology “The Journeys” along with 11 other writers. Between dealing in her writing deadline, she still found time to become Editor in Chief of Venture travel magazine, regular contributor of Yahoo! Travel, contributor for various magazines, radio personality of Indika FM, social media entrepreneur, and speaker in creative writing/blogging/tourism events. In 2010, Trinity won “Indonesia Travel & Tourism Awards” as Indonesia Leading Travel Writer and dubbed as “Heroine for Indonesian tourism” by The Jakarta Post. Trinity has Bachelor Degree in Communications from Universitas Diponegoro, Semarang, Indonesia, and awarded Asian Development Bank-Japan Scholarship to take up Master in Management in Asian Institute of Management, Manila, Philippines. She has traveled to almost all provinces in Indonesia as well as 46 countries and counting. In any case, she thinks Indonesia is yet the best country ever.
