Belen's Travel Diary: 27 Years Later

A Revival Story

This blog began in 1999 as a travel diary for my golden retriever Belen and me. For years, it documented our adventures across Indonesia and occasional overseas trips.

The Original Spirit (1999-2013):

Genuine pet-friendly travel stories, budget tips, and joyful discoveries.

Transition Period (2014-2015):

After Belen passed, the blog shifted to general travel, then went dormant.

2026 Revival:

Rather than delete this memory-filled space, I'm reviving it with a new focus: documenting the evolution of luxury travel, exclusive hospitality, and bespoke experiences—from both Indonesian and international perspectives.

What This Space Offers Now:

- Archived pet travel memories (1999-2013)

- New content on luxury travel evolution

- Observations on ASEAN hospitality development

- Honest reflections on travel's transformation

Why Keep the Original Name?

"BelenDogLover" stays as tribute to the blog's origin and my travel companion.
