Travelling teaches us lot!

"Hey, Mister. How are you? Can we take picture?"

Yeah, that's a common thing you find from Jakartans when they meet foreigners. Some do that, some not. When I'm with my friends at Kota Tua last night (i use last night because the date has already changed, though it happened just few hours ago hehe), so many people calling at him, asking him for something, and bla bla bla.

"Why do they call me 'mister'? Also in Bali, they used to call me 'boss'? They're not working for me, but they call me their boss", once my friend asked me. A funny question. Hahaha.

Ya, this is Indonesia, where people are mostly nice, especially for foreigners. Some of them still taking a look at them, smiling at them. Most of Indonesian are easy-smiling, most of my bule-friends says so. They are quite better sin speaking english than Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

I have just already met my friend few hours ago. He is Canadian who is having round-the-world trip for almost 5 months. Once he's at Vietnam, he find it hard to talk to locals. They are not used to speak English well, and also easy to get angry. It also happened in Thailand.

Well, for me, I find it as essence of travelling itself. Travelling teaches us how to deal with people, how to interact with the new one. The way we adapt oursleves among the new situation strengthen us during travelling. The inconviniences things we have duriing trip sometimes cannot lessen the great moments we feel. 

Travelling allows us to freely analize the trend of the country we visited. Sometimes these are lessons that you can't find from any text books. I do believe this : Sometimes it's not about the destination. It is about how we face the time amazingly.

Every traveller has their own way. When travelling, some of them prefer staying at the hostel, while others choose to doing something challenging outside the room, like bungee jumping or etc. Some are looking for culinary, others going to museums. Feel free of doing everything. Yes, that's the key of travelling, being independent.

Reasons Why You Should Date A Traveler


sunset kiss
‘Should’ is probably a strong verb to use and that’s pretty much the point of this post. And the point is to make those looking for a date see and realize that dating a traveler is the best oddball idea. Let me set the record straight though that I’m not in any way referring to myself. Beginning travelers like me, who have lots to learn about the world out there, do not count.
Anyway, here are some reasons travelers can be a good catch.
1. They will let you see the world in a different perspective.
perspective
They can show you that travel is more than just a hobby – ultimately, it’s another (and better) way of looking at life and the world. On your first date, instead of roses or chocolates, they’ll give you a unique token he’s bought from one of his travels outside the country. A ref magnet perhaps or a gong.
2. They know how to appreciate little things.
They appreciate small things like how blue is the sky, how serene does the stream runs through or even just a little bird. I really don’t have much to say about this. They are just simple people who appreciate the world we live in.
3. They know how to shut up and listen.
lips sealed
When they travel, they observe, they listen to locals and they walk away with great insight, knowledge and experience. They’re always willing to learn and they have an open mind about different things, having been exposed to different beliefs, culture and ways of living.
4. They can be totally independent.
That’s not completely a bad thing and it goes to show that they’re hardly clingy, they can give you the space you want every once in a while. Don’t you always complain about not having time for yourself? Well, a traveler can give you that – space, time and more, while he enjoys traveling at some place around the country.
5. They are adaptable.
They have traveled enough so they know for sure that things can go wrong sometimes. In such stressful situations, they hardly panic, for example, Situations like getting lost and having no room to stay at he middle of the nigh, they just go with the flow and they turn things around. they are the last ones to give up
6. They are good in finance
piggy-bank
Because their priority is traveling, they developed this financial management skills. They work their butt off to save, do sidelines and make extra income by blogging. With belts always tight and barely spending on a whim, they’re likely good in budgeting and finances. They know how to generate funds to get out there on the road.
7. They are an adventurous lot.
sky
They love the thrill, the fun, the excitement – all the intense (but positive) feelings that come with traveling. Don’t be surprised if they’ll tell you that his hobbies are not watching TV or surfing the Internet.
They would bungee jump from a 233meter tower, just for the thrill of it. They’d jump from a 50ft cliff all for the fun of it. Travelers will do anything just for that thrill and excitement
8. They Love Having Fun
Travelers, if I may say are like brothers and sisters separated from birth that when they come together they just easily get along and one thing is for sure having fun is definitely like drinking water for us giving you a natural high!
9. they are crazy, believe me.
One day, they’ll be all serious about SEO and making money with their blogs. But the next, they’ll be making you laugh with all the travel jokes they’ve learned on the road. You never know what they’d want to do next! One minute they’re just around the city, but when you turn around, they’re already flying to Siem Reap! Right, Crazy people are the best to be with! There’s no dull moment, no second where you won’t be enjoying or learning from the experiences you’re getting from them.
10. They are totally romantic
special
While many travelers seem to be single at the moment, probably because of their travel schedule, there’s nobody more perfect to be romantic with than the ones that enjoy nature’s beauty. Most women want chocolates, a movie, flowers and the total package. But the traveler, will enjoy the romantic sunset of Boracay. They’ll enjoy the soft breeze in Tagaytay, simply sitting on a bench and looking out into the beautiful Mt. Taal. They’ll enjoy just walking along the shores of a white beach, talking, laughing with you. Romance for them, is simply not just the standard sweet gestures. It’s the unforgettable blend of being with the one they love and communing with nature at the same time.
11. They are office Allergies
waiting
They will stay out there on the road exploring the world and discovering new things rather than work at the office, so they can spend some quality time. Since they always like being on the road, they will most likely spend more time with their loved ones. And if your traveler’s mate you might be getting a little more than just hugs and kisses, A free trip.
12. smart, very smart
As much as many would like to believe, being book smart only is not going to get you to the top of the world. Traveling, even without all the books, can teach you a wide variety of things – far more than the books will ever be able to teach you. Dating a traveler can ensure you that you are dating someone smart, someone you can talk to with brains and someone you can actually get into a deep and meaningful conversation with.
13. They have powerful insights.
creative
If there’s someone you want to talk to about today’s economy, how the tourism industry is going or how the ethnic tribes in Baguio have been mistaken to be unfriendly. They have more experience with different kinds of things, thus, when you talk to a traveler, you can’t help but realize…damn, your world, is definitely not that small.
14. Travelers are nerds in some point of their lives
Have you ever tried creating an itinerary? Have you ever tried constructing a budget to a place you’d never been in before? Have you ever tried staying up late at night just to find good dates for a trip at cheap promos? Travelers have. Travelers are nerds in some point of their lives. They take hours searching over the internet, reading pocketbooks of guides, scouring though guidebooks, Lonely Planet and more just to get the information about it. And the best thing about a traveler being a nerd? It makes us even sexier.
15. endless excitement
jumping-man
Travelers are exciting to be around, they are the best example for magnetism. They have stories about everything, they’ve experienced just about any situation and they are on the go, all the time. They never run out of stories to tell.
From that fun-filled weekend in Cebu, to that amazing experience in Mt. Pinatubo, the people they meet while climbing mountains, the people that inspire them – it’s a date where you’ll definitely NEVER get bored, keeps people searching for them, wanting to be with them, wanting to be near them, envious of how happy they are in their lives of how fulfilled they are

Horoscope dan Traveling – Pisces

Pisces 19 Februari – 20 Maret
Sifat dan karakter
Pisces sangat perasa, beuh! Sangat intuisif dan romantis habis… Hidup (apalagi bercinta) dengan pisces ini seperti naik roller coaster, naik turun dengan cepat dan sangat memacu adrenalin. Pisces selalu melihat bentuk fisik, mudah bosan dan cenderung untuk selalu melihat sisi lain.

Traveling
Bagi seorang Pisces, mengunjungi tempat-tempat romantis adalah sebuah keharusan. Pantai tanpa penghuni dengan pasir putih yang bersih atau gunung dengan hutan pinus rapat membentuk kanopi dengan halimun tipis bisa membuatnya menjadi penyair cinta nomer wahid.
Jangan mengajak Pisces ke tempat ramai, jika terpaksa biarkan dia “wandering around” mengikuti kata hatinya mau melangkah kemana. Pisces lebih suka traveling dengan pasangan, dia bukan solo traveler dan tidak suka dengan traveling yang terjadwal.
Pisces tidak akan pergi lagi ke tempat yang sama untuk kedua kalinya, baginya satu tempat cukup satu kali kecuali ada seseorang yang dia suka ikut serta atau tempat itu memang punya tempat spesial di hatinya.
Tempat yang bisa membuatnya diam berlama-lama adalah Sisi Barat Danau Toba, Takabonerate, Ubud dan Bandung.
Untuk urusan penginapan, Pisces tidak akan rewel dengan semua penginapan di Ubud. Kampung Sampireun juga salah satu tempat favoritnya. Kalau di luar negeri, mungkin Eagle Nest New Zealand atau Ninh Van Bay, Nha Trang-Vietnam.
Jika bepergian ke luar dari Indonesia, tempat favoritnya mungkin adalah New Zealand dengan lembah hijau yang berbatasan dengan gunung saljunya, Venesia dengan gondola dan sungai-sungai romantisnya, Yosemite dengan hutan yang romantis dan kolosal, Santorini dengan kota romantis di bukit yang menghadap ke laut, dan wilayah pegunungan Costarica dengan air terjun dan sungai eksotisnya.

Horoscope dan Traveling – Aquarius

Berikutnya adalah Aquarius. 20 Januari – 18 Februari

Sifat Dasar
Karakter dasar dari Aquarius adalah jiwa sosial yang tinggi, penuh kejutan dan selalu siap bila dimintain tolong. Sangat peduli dengan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan dan kebenaran. Selalu ingin tampil beda.

Traveling
Kalau saya seorang Aquarius, mungkin saya tidak akan pernah mau kenal yang namanya travel agent. Buat saya, mengurus perjalanan sendiri itu sangat menyenangangkan. Saya akan mencoba traveling dengan berbagai macam sarana transportasi. Mencoba tempat yang mungkin bagi banyak orang beresiko konflik dan mengancam keselamatan jiwa. Saya akan menikmati traveling ke Poso, Ambon, atau perbatasan Timor Leste.
ImageJika membutuhkan volunteer untuk relawan korban meletusnya Gunung Merapi, atau bantuan untuk mencari korban yang tersesat di gunung, saya akan mengiyakan tanpa ba bi bu.
Tempat yang cocok buat saya mungkin adalah Tanjung Puting, Pulau Komodo, Gunung Leuser dan tempat konservasi lainnya. Karena pada prinsipnya, saya ingin memberi lebih pada alam, bukan hanya sekedar traveling. Saya ingin setiap perjalanan saya makna buat alam, terutama buat kemanusaiaan.
Jika ke luar negeri, saya mungkin akan ke Berlin, Serbia, dan sebagian besar negara di Afrika.

Horoscope dan Traveling – Capricorn

Capricorn 22 Desember – 19 Januari

Sifat dan karakter.
Menurut karakternya, Capricorn adalah orang yang tekun. Berjalan pelan-pelan untuk menaiki tangga kehidupan adalah cirinya. Apabila sudah maju, maka pantang buatnya untuk berhenti, dengan kata lain dia sangat ulet dan sabar. Capricorn sangat mudah mengingat sesuatu dan tidak mudah melepas masa lalu. Itulah sebabnya dia sangat menyukai tradisi dan segala sesuatu yang jadul.

Traveling
Apabila saya menjadi seorang Capricorn, tempat favorit saya kemungkinan adalah Jogjakarta dan Bali. Kedua tempat ini menyimpan banyak sejarah, budaya, dan tradisi yang membuat saya betah berlama-lama mendengar kemegahan cerita masa lalu dan kemudian menghidupkannya dalam bayangan saya sendiri. Saya bisa berjam-jam duduk menyaksikan sendratari Ramayana di pelataran Candi Prambanan atau menyaksikan Tari Legong klasik di sebuah Banjar di Bali, disaat orang lain sudah menguap menahan kantuk. Di Jogja saya mungkin bisa membatik, pekerjaan yang membutuhkan ketekunan dan kesabaran yang luar biasa dan saya yakin bisa menyelesaikan sebuah karya utuh tanpa pupus/ bosan di tengah jalan.
Saya mungkin akan lebih memiliih perjalanan dengan kereta api karena bagi saya melihat sawah dan gunung selama perjalanan itu adalah bagian dari traveling dan sangat menyenangkan.
Untuk urusan hotel, saya mungkin memliih tepat menginap seperti Hotel Tugu di Malang, hotel Majahapit di Surabaya, dan losmen-losmen kecil di mana saja di Ubud.
Kalau ke luar negeri, mungkin saya akan memilih Italia, Inggris, dan mungkin Turki.
