As you might already know, i am not a great blogger at all. I do not publish a post in regular basis and i do not write much. Maybe, sometimes, i wrote some short passages in my notes. Something that when i read again in the future, will make no sense. Or showing how melancholic i am. Or even on how strong i am. I don’t know, it depends on the passage i read. But, this time i want to […]
I came back to Jakarta on 1st January 2017 and i set my big “deadline” would be 31st August 2017. By this time, i had failed to secure a scholarship for a Master programme in Australia and UK. And, i need to decided whether i still wanted to do that, to go back to school. So, what did happen afterwards? At a first step, I decided to visit a friend in Bandung (his name= PONS) who has lived the bittersweet […]

Jamie (my Canadian uncle) once said this, Some of the friends we made at that special retreat will inevitably fade and disappear from our lives. I’m thinking you will not. Our door is always open to you. He was totally right. No matter how special the collision (or serendipity) of strangers i met along this journey, some would stay and some would not. It was painful to think something that was so valuable for me would disappear. Friendships, family-ship, and […]

I was very grateful interacting with amazing people, including the one i would meet in Antwerp. We were working at several projects together then extended to social media interaction and get […]

It took some time to write about Rotterdam. As much as i like to write life stories, this story is a lot different. You might feel a bit disbelief or say unbelievable, because thats what i felt at first. But life goes on, no matter what happen to you. So, here it is. In previous story of Plum Village, i mentioned in found family there, including what i call, a brother. He is from Rotterdam and the first time we […]

B.E.A.C.H – Best Escape Anyone Can Have – Anonymous This is a bit funny, but i just realised that i published unfinished writing today, due to scheduled post setting. I was a bit busy in past one week and today is the first day i have time to check my blog again. The story of The Hague is the story of unexpected friendship. I want to focus on a good friend [once a stranger of course!] i have here. I met […]

This might be the most boring story i ever written here. You know that all things in life has two sides, right? Not all my travel was fun. In here, i was a bit sick and most of things i did was actually sleeping and resting. The touristy things i did was visiting the Cologne Cathedral, Christmas Market in front of it, sitting in Starbucks Hauptbahnhof, and visiting stores nearby that area. Boring? Yeah, but it was necessary. So, instead […]

Berlin story might be a little bit delicate compare to the other story i have written. The reason of that is i met two great people here, with opposite perspective and attraction. I could understand both of the them, but to write it is a different story. Writing this in Universtät Bibliothek facing a slogan saying “Die Wahrheit wird evch frei machen” – The truth will set you free – does not make it easier. I arrived in Berlin after […]

Prague, another place that were not on my initial list, but somehow just appeared because of the suggestion of a friend. A good one indeed. I arrived in Prague after 7 hours bus ride from Vienna. Passing through the beautiful landscape, cities, and villages. There were a few things i could observe around, like how different Western and Eastern Europe, especially in if i compare the condition of their villages. I passed one village which had a lot of brothels. […]
