One of the Best Moments in Hamish Daud's Life, Being a Forest Child for 5 Years

Kapanlagi.com - Hamish Daud is known as someone who loves nature, especially the sea. Not since he became the host of the program My Trip My Adventure, but it has been felt by Raisa's husband for a long time. One of the things that makes him so in love with nature is his experience of living as a forest child.

Yes, maybe many of you don't believe it, but this father of one child used to be a forest child for about 5 years in West Sumatra. He told this himself when he was a guest star on the Asian Boss YouTube channel not long ago.

"I'm half Australian, half Indonesian. After being born in Australia, I lived in Bali for a few years with my parents until they separated. Then I moved to Jakarta for a few years. Then I moved to Sumba," Hamish recalled.

"At that time, there were no stores, no supermarkets there. So when I was hungry, I had to go find food myself. So I had to really live with the earth and the sea for about 5 years until my mother found out that I wasn't going to school, but instead living as a forest child," he added.

Although it may sound like a very difficult life, Hamish enjoys it. He even remembers the crazy things he did as a 'forest child' in Sumba.

"Honestly, it's one of the best moments of my life. I rode a horse, slept in the forest for 3 days, went fishing, cooked barbecue on the beach, slept alone on the beach, made friends with village children, went on adventures together," said the host of My Trip My Adventure.

2. Doesn't Feel Special

As a maritime country, people in Indonesia have been living off the sea since ancient times. Hamish, as someone living in the present, really wants to experience it firsthand.

"I learned more in those 5 years than all the lessons I ever received in any institution. It doesn't make me feel special, because that's how native Indonesians have been living for thousands of years. I just try to connect people at that frequency and make them understand how important the sea is," he concluded.
