The word travel
seems an easy word to say. Taken from its definition, it could be as simple as
to go to a place and especially one that is far away. Should I call my self a
traveller? Probably yes, cause I did go to other places. But am I a trully
traveller? Maybe not yet. But the writing right here is not gonna be about me
and my travelling, it’s about the happiness I found in discovering new places.
It’s about why you should start.
New places
make me happy. I’m a family person, most of the time, I always take a trip with
my family at least once a year. So whenever I take a trip with friends or
colleagues the experience will always be different. I can go fancy with my
family or be a true traveller with friends.
Anyway, I
can not be more grateful for what had happened this year, especially for the
chance to visit four different places in a year. From Mecca with family, Jogja
with colleagues, Malang with family, and not to be forgotten the Sydney story
with two of my uni besties.
The Sydney
story is my second most favorite from this year’s trip. It’s a five days four night trip, it’s way too
short for holiday trip, but still I’m happy also with the fact that this year’s check list was
on track. And it’s the first time for me to go on trip just the two of us.
Taking
pictures, strolling around the city, taking bus, walking down the street at
night, freezing while on the bus, and too many good memories made while I was
on Sydney. To elaborate everything in
each days would be too long on this blog. End of story, I should promise my
self to travel more, to go as far as I can go, to meet more new people, to
discover the part of the world I haven’t seen. And for those of you who’s been
busy working in office, I recommend you to take some time off, a week maybe,
plan a trip, forget the the day to day traffic, the non-stop meeting, the
deadline that’s chasing you, and the routine itself. You just have to take a
trip, cause you deserve it.
Lastly, thank you Putri Karina for everything in Sydney!
