The uniquely named Café Huskies is located in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the world’s northernmost town. It’s just like any other coffee shop, where patrons come to enjoy poppy-seed cake slices with chai lattes, while reading a book or sitting down at a nook, chatting with friends, or typing away on their laptops. But this cozy café also offers something extra. You’ll always find here a couple of friendly huskies lounging around. Yep, that’s what the name is for!

The Café

This dog café is located on the remote Norwegian archipelago, surrounded by icy vistas and the cold blue waters of the Arctic Ocean. Nicola Bunyan, Martin Fiala, Kristina Labunskaite, and Iris Dahle Bjørkmann are the four Norwegian transplants, who worked at a hotel in Longyearbyen. They planned to open this business together to create a homey environment in this café, for locals and visitors coming into the area hoping to see northern lights and polar bears. Now, while there’s no guarantee to catch a glimpse of polar bears, the visitors in the café surely can cuddle more friendly furry animals, the huskies.

The Dogs

Café Huskies is centered on the idea of a dog café, which hosts a rotating crew of local pups and dogs. They mainly belong to the café staff, their friends, friends of friends, some former colleagues, and other residents. That means that the community is totally game when it comes to leaving their pet dogs at the café for a day or two, to bring joy to the visitors. Making the name a success, the huskies create a cozy living room vibe in the café. After being dropped off, the pups just roam free, hang out, lounge in several dog couches, beds, and the floor, and enjoy their meals at mealtimes. Of course, these huskies are also in hot demand from visitors for quick cute Instagram photos!

Indonesia is a hugely popular travel destination, and you probably don’t need us to tell you why. This country is known for its stunning beaches, incredible scenery, and some of the best food you’ve ever eaten. While you could spend your Indonesian adventure hopping from island to island and checking all of these out for yourself, why don’t you try going volcano hopping around Indonesia instead? You know you want to.

Start With Mount Bromo

Although Indonesia is home to over 150 volcanoes, there are certain craters that really stand out from the crowd – and Mount Bromo is one of them. Due to the extremely fertile soil around the volcano, the surrounding area is luscious and green, but a hike up the peak soon allows you to see a changing environment. In fact, it may seem as though you’ve landed on an alien planet. The hike will take you around 1-2 hours, but it’s best to hike before the sun rises so that you can check out the incredible sunrise from the top.

Check Out Mount Ijen

While Mount Bromo is perfect for a morning hike, Mount Ijen is perfect for a night-time adventure. That’s because this volcano is home to a steaming sulfur lake that’s perfectly blue, and you can even check out the blue flames when the sun starts to set. The lake at the top is well worth the 1-2 hour climb and the fact that it’s best to wear a gas mask.

Then, Choose Your Next Volcano

How you can go volcano hopping around Indonesia is really down to your itinerary and the length of your trip. If you have a few weeks to spare, then you could hike some of the main volcanoes in the country, including Mount Tambora, Mount Merapi, Mount Agung, and more.

So, is it time to embark on your volcano adventure in Indonesia? It’s super easy to plan your trip.
