After getting a doctorate from New York University in 2014, she started teaching at Sydney's Macquarie University, returning to Jakarta occasionally. Intan's wandering experience influenced the book, for she has trotted the globe all her life. In Intan's book, the word points to women tempted to cross geographical and social boundaries. "Gentayangan" is an Indonesian term referring to the dead who, instead of proceeding to the hereafter, haunt the living. The book was launched during the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival (UWRF) in Bali during October and in Jakarta last month. "Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go wandering," is a recurring line in Intan Paramaditha's latest book, "Gentayangan: Pilih Sendiri Petualangan Sepatu Merahmu" ("The Wandering: Choose Your Own Red-Shoe Adventure").
