Anak Rantau / Exploring Child

"Merantau" is not merely traveling. In Minangkabau society, "merantau" is very much of imbued into their blood. Boys who have come of age are expected to leave the family house and "merantau" - go elsewhere; explore the world; learn new things; gain experiences, and hopefully wealth too.

These are some of the images captured while "merantau" in the Land of Minangkabau in Indonesia.
