FIRST: AIESEC, Ukraine, and Europe.

I'm Indonesian girl. Currently 20 years old (2016).

Going to tell you about my first crazy fool trip from 24 July 2015 - 12 September 2015 to Ukraine, Poland (kind of), Hungary, Austria, Czech, and Germany.

I was in to an AIESEC project in Lviv, Ukraine called 'Colours of Lviv 2', with my super cool team leader, mama Nastia! So actually the project started from early July, but I got a lot problems with my VISA permit and university, and parents' permission as well, so I was late for two weeks (and I regret this!)

And yes, I applied for two kind of VISA, Ukraine and Schengen. My self, yes, with this tiny body, and help from kang gojek and Kiky (I really thank you for everything). The main problem was remedial (university), permission, sick head major of univ, recommendation letter, and Ramadan and Eid Holiday. yeah. but thank god I got the VISA so quickly, 2 days for Schengen (before eid), and also for Ukraine (after Eid). And since I booked the ticket to Poland and from Poland, because it was last minutes, so I need the cheapest way to reach Ukraine, and this was the cheapest. I got cheap flight ticket from STA travel with ISIC (International Student Card) so it was like, I travelled with a very normal price! btw, I was flying with Qatar Airways.

I planned to travel alone after my project end, but plan changed after Ukraine and I found a crazy girl and now she is my travelmate, she is Lavonne, Malaysian. My schedule was Czech and Germany, hers was Austria and Czech. Since Lviv and Budapest is quite reachable, and you know... Budapest... yeah. So, ok, we didn't think too long.

For money, how much we spent? a lot. We didn't go with backpack (we hope we did), but with almost 50 kg luggage. It was so handy, and confusing, and quite the reason why we cost moreeee (really, beside I did shop too much as well). FYI I'm less than 50 psst. crazy, uh?

Disini pure gue super nekat, super gila, struggle-nya amit-amit, tapi ya gitu, super worthy juga sih. Dan berawal dari sini juga pandangan gue makin luas, semuanya beda. Juga dari sini gue jadi kecanduan traveling dan ngerti kalo gue mau, gue pasti bisa.

This first trip was my very unforgettable trip, ever. I got a lot of experiences and lessons here. I will write (InshaAllah) everything (with some sensors haha).
So, stay tuned.

Travelling for me.

I'm addicted to travelling since 2015 (yes, now is 2016). I have no idea at WHY DIDN'T I TRAVEL BEFORE?! uhm, I did. with my family. but yes, I can't count those. because travelling alone is totally something. it's not just discovering new places, it's also discovering you! yes, you, ourselves.
I can't tell you how it feels to travel, because a lot of peeps did tell me about this feeling and try to describe it, and maybe you can imagine how my poker face be like, because you won't understand at least you try! believe me (no, don't).
and since my first time experiencing, travelled (not so alone), I can say that I'm totally IN to the feeling called Eleutheromania, Livsnjutare, Saudade, Yoko meshi, Resfeber. The exhausted feeling of traveling, and freedom, and being in new places, meeting new people, and etc. (source: http://www.geckosadventures.com/)
And with this I have a new whole perspective in my life, my eyes. like a brighter life came after this. and I'm feeling so blessed because of it.
I am concerning on the embodiment of world peace from cultural point of view. because for me, it's all about us, the people who live in this world that can change the world become a better place. Ok this is serious, haha. this is my travelling mission, spreading the goods, understanding cultures, spreading opinion, hear others perspective, and having a discussion of it. So in love with this activity!

Isn't it good to be a traveller? :)
