Jakarta is about Family and Friends

Around 10.000 feet above the ground, my eyes fixed to the haze clouds I saw below us. Our plane almost landed to Soekarno Hatta International airport, and I can’t believe what I see. Grey sky. Thick clouds. I thought, it is going to rain. But no. Polluted air. Haze view. This is the town that…

I wish I knew you better

When I did some research for plan a trip to one of the concentration camp in Poland – which later, I didn’t go there on my last Europe trip – perhaps one day!, I watched some of Holocaust movies just to made me prepare about the situation in the camp. I watched The Pianist, a movie…

The Colorful Pena Palace in Sintra – A Fairy Tale Castle Came To Alive

For those who love Disney Castle, this place is really highly recommended! For those who is not or just so-so like me, this place also will leave you speechless. The Palace of Pena was really one of my highlight trip in Sintra,Portugal, a UNESCO World Heritage since 1995.   Sintra is 45 minutes away from…

I met all this angels from Rennes to Nantes

This last two days, I become an owl. The jetlag effect approaching me without sorry. Now, when people already fall asleep, I am still reading or literally my eyes wide awake. The timezone different between Jakarta and Europe makes my body confused so I just take this easy and let my body to get used…

It is never easy

That early evening, when I wanted to boarding to Jakarta, I just got a news that I actually I already felt that I would hear about that soon. My feeling already told me, something wasn’t right. But still, the news that I got that night, was shocking me. I was tremble. I couldn’t comprehended with…

Are you coming to Porto? Don’t miss this! (Part 1)

  Before I finally done my trip in Porto, Portugal, I was spending few days to research about what should I see and do in Porto. To repay all the people who already helped me during my plan for the trip (by blogging or suggest me places), I wanted to write about my experience when…

Porto dan kesanku tentangnya

Kalau kamu dengar tentang Portugal, apa yang akan kamu bayangkan? Tentang Christiano Ronaldo kah? Atau tentang sejarahnya bertautan dengan Indonesia? Buatku, Portugal indentik dengan negara panas yang penuh dengan dinding-dinding keramiknya. Waktu itu, kakakku pernah mengirimkan pesan bahwa dia sedang di Portugal, menikmati bir di outdoor cafe, saat bulan February yang notabene biasanya masih terkategori…

Quinta da Regaleira dan Sumurnya yang Penuh Misteri

Hari ini aku sudah berada di Perancis lagi, makanya ada waktu bisa untuk tulis blog lagi. Yippiee. Untungnya trip di Eropa kali ini, cukup manusiawi lama perjalananya. Maksudnya, karena aku punya kakak yang tinggal di kota dekat Paris, jadi setiap kali aku pergi ke suatu negara selama beberapa hari, aku akan kembali lagi ke rumah…

The Art of Walking

I almost forget how fun is it to walk. Ok, we normally love to walk (or perhaps, force to walk) if we are visiting the city center in Europe country because everything close to each other and normally walking distance. Something that I admire from the city in Europe. But when you are at home,…

There is no conclusion of all matters – and that’s perfectly fine

In the beginning of my trip to Europe, I just knew that a dear friend of mine was blocking me on What’s App. That was actually the only way for us to normally communicated. I was wondering, why did she do that? Then I remember the last conversation we had, I was very direct with…

Mau Traveling di Eropa? Baca Ini Dulu Ya, Biar Enggak Kaget

Hey peeps,   Udah lama banget ya aku enggak nulis blog. Kebetulan hari ini cuaca dingin (lagi), padahal sedang musim semi di Eropa, tetapi ternyata musim semi itu tidak berarti cuaca serta merta panas. Kemarin 16 derajat Celcius di luar sana, dan kami berjalan-jalan sore di taman, kota sebelah, sambil terus-terusan mengusap-ngusap lengan dan tangan,…
