One thing about being a solo traveler is I am able to plan my itinerary the way I want. This is what I had done during my winter trip in Europe and Oman. I didn’t join any tour group so it was hassle free. I didn’t experience travel-in-rush like, for example, travel to ten Europe countries within only twelve days. I had visited the fascinating Netherlands, had enjoyed nice walks in Paris, and…

After had been in the Netherlands for several days, I moved to my next destination: Paris, France. I had planned to celebrate New Year 2026 in the city of fashion, Paris. Bus ride from Amsterdam to Paris I went by BlaBlaCar Bus from Amsterdam to Paris. The journey was started in the morning. As an Asian who came from a tropical Asian country, walking in a cold dark winter morning was felt…

In July 2024 I told my mother that I want to enjoy Chinese New Year in Singapore. Mother said, “It’s all up to you. You can go to Singapore now, no need to wait until next year”. But I was actively contributing to a women’s community at that time during April – August 2024 so I had no time for traveling. This post is photo dump of how I enjoyed leisure time during Chinese New Year holidays in…

During December 12 – 20, 2024 I was traveling to three countries: Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.

This is a late post of my short solo trip to Singapore in November 2024. I hadn’t gone to anywhere since pandemic in 2020 so I was extremely in the mood for traveling to abroad. Picture 1. My passport photo in year 2015 vs 2024 I chose Singapore just because: It is not too far from Jakarta I only had Saturday and Sunday for leisure time before go back to work on Monday. Night flight to…

These are my uber favourite Japanese breads. Melon pan and wassant (i like chocolate wassant than the plain one). I think.. Melon pan’s texture is more likely a cake (like pound cake) rather than a bread. It has hard texture outside but soft inside. The taste is sweet (not tooooo sweet 😁👍👍👍) 😍 melon pan is a must try Japanese bread Wassant is layered bread. I love its layers, soft texture,…

29 November kemarin ada seorang teman yang mendadak sms ke saya (yup via sms, not WhatsApp chat 🙂 ) Isi sms-nya saya screenshot di bawah ini :

Teman saya ini perempuan, usianya setahun lebih muda dari saya, and…. she’s a single mother of one daughter.

Buku The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People karya Stephen R. Covey sejatinya adalah buku terjemahan dari Bahasa Inggris ke Bahasa Indonesia. Resiko membaca buku terjemahan adalah bisa membuat pembaca Indonesia agak kesulitan menafsirkan isi buku karena pola kalimatnya yang mungkin terasa agak rumit serta beberapa kosakata dan istilah yang mungkin kurang akrab digunakan dalam buku berbahasa…

Libur Lebaran kemarin saya sempatkan diri untuk membaca tuntas sebuah buku karya Henry Manampiring yang berjudul The Alpha Girl’s Guide. Sebenarnya that was not the very first time I read the book.

Saya membaca cepat di toko buku tanpa ada kemantapan hati untuk membeli because I thought I could…
