This research answers the needs to explore the lifestyle cosmopolitanism of the Indonesian millennials with a focus on the creative class. Using the interpretative phenomenology analysis, this study relies on Thompson and Tambyah (1999) and Brown and Baogang (2012) to explore Indonesia cosmopolitans’ lifestyle in their consumption, behavior, and their forming identity discourse in the various environmental contexts, such as night market, school, and working place in Taiwan. This paper identifies five characteristics that are unique to the millennial Indonesian creative class such as (1) consumption and international travel as the manifestation of lifestyle cosmopolitanism (2) cosmopolitan as a unique motive (3) an imagine and fake cosmopolitan identity (4) collectivism resulting a cautious cosmopolitan and sense of one community identity and (5) an ambivalence identity. Academically, the result of this study can contribute to expand the cosmopolitanism literature. Practically, this study contribute to the suggestions for foreigner-friendly policies in Taiwan in the context of government, school, and company.
