On this day, I remember our Indonesia adventures 3 years ago, which are both happy and sad memories.


Long distance relationships come with unique challenges. Doubts. Heart Broken. Failing Communication. They are just there to make us strong. Three years ago, we tried our best to make up for the years we were apart. We decided to meet in INDONESIA to make our long distance relationship a fulfilling and memorable one.

Indonesia is gifted with beautiful sceneries. The long and risky driving to Mt. Batur was the most challenging in our trip. I have to close my eyes because the roads climb up to a ridge and when it descends back into a valley made me feel dizzy. I felt better after I saw the awesome lake at the base of the volcano.



Since this is a volcanic area, they have public hot spring. We never missed eating with their local porridge and curry chicken.

I met this old woman still using this old boat to move around the lake and even using this to catch fish for food.

Because I look like an Indonesian, it wasn't hard for me to meet, greet and make new friends. We visited one famous Batur natural hot spring in Bali. We were very delighted with their natural setting.

Our adventure never stops in the hot spring. It continues until we reached to our last destination, Ubud, Bali. Thanks, google map to lead us to the place. It is pretty challenging if you don't know the language while avoiding corrupt police.




Who could ever forget our to our risky trekking to Mt. Rinjani.

Sooner or later, we realized whatever how challenging our journey is we still end up arriving at our destination. What a relieve and fulfilling trip!

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey

Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are the most beautiful mosque I've ever seen in my life. Looking at this makes me feel better after having a feeling of nausea of the 10-hour-trip. I felt relieved when we arrived safely in Istanbul, Turkey. I've realized that this gonna be the biggest trip ever. Ending the last leg of the Euro trip with a bang!!! Hagia Sophia Blue Mosque

Copenhagen: The Model of Happiness and Unity

June 26-27, 2012 Horrifying Check-up from Customs Reaching Copenhagen is not easy journey as what we usually had. We were in the middle of the road like for 10 hours. With in those hours, we were checked by the two group of customs from Germany and Denmark.  It was horrifying the fact that they have to check our passport one by one.  Both of these customs had different goals in mind. Like the Germans, they have to check for illegal immigrants. One of us was found that there was something wrong with his passport. He was asked to get off and not to continue the trip. Not only that, after we crossed the sea for 45 minutes in a Roll on Roll off ship, we were being checked by the Danish customs. It was quite horrifying because they were checking if your passport was real or not. Aside from that, since this Eurolines bus was from Amsterdam, they were also checking for stash or drugs.  Guess what! Four of them were asked to get off for full body scan ...
