As an ordinary person, I do love to do something I like in life ! I think, it is necessary to do things that you love very much… and live with no regrets of having chances to pursue what you are wanting !

When I was a little girl, I used to dream my self being an astronout, travelling to the moon, reaching the stars and the sun. For that purpose, I have read a lot of books of planets, stars, and any books telling stories about galactical matters.. as well as watched galactical movies… StarWars (ehm.. I do love the uniform of storm troopers…), StarTrek (..with the weird Captain Spock!), and many other movies on inter galactical journeys !

Once, at my time in junior and senior high, I realized that being an astronout was not my best shot !… I changed my interest of being a basketball players ! I joined the basket ball club in my school, and started practicing each and everyday ! Nice One ! Unfortunately, as I had a motor accident that hurted my knees, I had to stop playing basket ball…. HiKs !

When I was a student in the university, I started to realize that there is a side of me that is deeply interested in academic life.. ! I had a chance of working as a research assistant in the Center for Economics Studies, Gadjah Mada University. I was then recruited as a research assistant for Sustainable Indonesia Growth Alliance, a collaboration project between USAID and Faculty of Economics, Gadjah Mada University. I started to meet overseas visiting professors and students… and it opened my perspectives, my eyes ! I started to learn to understand other cultures, other people’ habits… it is interesting !  Right!

Then I promised to my self, that I will try to go to other places, to many other places, to somewhere that I can learn to understand the diversities of human being, the diversities of cultures… so that I will be able to see the GREATNESS of ALLAH SWT in creating people and beautiful places. Here, I am trying to share my happiness and enjoyable trips around the globe, learning to pay respect to other people, places, and cultures !

Just pick one of the subpages next to this writing, and enjoy the sightseeing reports !
