For those who have missed me.. Hello from 2016! Its been a while since I have updated my blog. I finally have the chance to properly sit down and take care of this baby. I will review several of my travel summary 2016 to begin with.
I have been so busy crossing my ultimate bucket list ever- achieveing a Master Degree in Design at University of Leeds. Thank you for Indonesia Education Endownment Fund (LPDP) and the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, for the support and the awards. Dreams do come true when you put efforts into it. One year of living in the United Kingdom has been rewarding enough and one of the stage in my life that I thought I could never step on. I felt blessed of every moment and opportunity to get higher education with so many new experiences during my time here. I couldn’t be even prouder as an Indonesian nationality among the the international global students here.
And so.. I think this is the time to ‘refurnish’ my blog and get ready for the new stage in 2017. Yes, yes, I promise to write more and share my travel tips, stories and knowledge that hopefully able to encourage you to do solo travel.
For this post I only want to say hi for my loyal reader and give a bit highlight of my journey in 2016. Time flies so fast and I couldn’t believe that I have change so much this past year. My goal is still the same: to encourage women, especially the Indonesian, to be brave and do solo travelling. More and more, share my experiences and tips that I had along my journey. May the precious memories best keep save on this blog.
So here are the highlight photos along the journey for the past year. Can you guess where have I been?
And for those who miss my face, you can see that I am alive indeed 🙂
Fiuh… it will be a long list with so many breathtaking views isn’t it? Even though I have been away in many European countries, but I will write more about travelling around in Indonesia and tempt you to visit that places.
All in all, I have met so many wonderful hosts, new travel buddies, and good people that helped me along the way. This blog is one way to cherish that friendships too. I got to know many cool solo female travellers that would like to share her stories. So yes, there will be more ‘Superwomen’ to be featured on the year of 2017.
Oh ya, I changed the design of my blog too! 🙂
How do you like it? Give me some comments please..

[…] Time moves so fast I barely even catch my breath when I looked at my travel photos on my camera. 2016 was another blasting turning point in my life again. I know that I didn’t update my life journey in this blog anymore, so I thought that I should […]
[…] In the beginning of 2016, for the first time in my life, traveling was not as fun as I would imagine for the first time in my life,. I realise that I was moving too fast, travelled too soon and did not close the chapter properly. I couldn’t breathe in the atmosphere, did not dig into the culture, and I did not connect with any locals. I was disappointed to myself. […]
