The Struggles to Go to Europe Part #2

Image
Berhubung persiapannya masih 50% padahal itu udah awal bulan Juni dan posisi kami waktu itu udah dapet Letter of Acceptance dari KBRI di Sofia bahwa kami bakal magang mulai bulan Agustus, tiket pesawat belum dapet, apa lagi visa belum approved sama sekali. Kebayang gak betapa hecticnya waktu itu? Padahal akhir Juli kita seharusnya udah berangkat sesuai rencana. Waktu itu bulan Juni bulan puasa, jadi gak banyak yang bisa kita lakuin, paling cuma pastiin pertengahan puasa udah beli tiket dan akhirnya sekitar pertengahan bulan Juni itu, kita dapet juga tike pesawat murah. Muraaaahhh? yaaaaaaps, untuk pergi ke Erope itu tebilang murah gengs! Jadi waktu itu kami dapet tiket total seharga 8,9 jutaan untuk PP Indonesia - Bulgaria. FYI aja yaa gengs, tiket langsung Indonesia-Bulgaria itu gak ada. Dengan harga tiket PP semurah itu, kami harus berada di perjalanan selama sekitar 3 hari. WHAT? 3 HARI? are you crazy? 🤣 yes, we were crazy but that was fun! Terus lo pasti pada penasaran, 3

Selain harus bermimpi tinggi, kita juga harus kejar mimpi itu dong, setuju gak? orang bilang "you are defined by the stories you tell yourself". Jadi, gw selalu mencoba camkan dalam benak bahwa gw suatu hari pasti bakal ke Europe ntah gimanapun caranya. Melalui orang-orang keren yang gw ceritain di postingan sebelumnya, gw menjadi semakin termotivasi bahwa gw pasti bakal ke Europe.  Waktu itu gw lagi semester 5 di masa perkuliahan, kebetulan waktu itu salah dua dari kating yang cukup deket sama gw yaitu Kak Vivi dan Kak Evi yang ngelakuin magang di Filipina dan India, tepatnya di KBRI Manila dan KBRI New Delhi. Cerita magang mereka bikin gw semangat banget nih buat ngelakuin magang juga, selain keluar negeri + edukasi, magang juga bakal nambah pengalaman gw banget dalam dunia perdiplomasian, tepatlah ya sama jurusan gw.  Sejak saat itu, gw semangat banget buat ngelakuin magang di salah satu KBRI tapi gw belum yakin mau dimana. Dalam benak gw yang penting gw dapet

Lemme throw back to 2015. One of the reasons I chose Bulgaria as a country to do Internship in 2017. Exactly in the summer of 2015, but Indonesia has summer all the time right?  Haha well okay,  I will still say "summer long holiday". You got it?  In sub-tropical countries, they have summer holiday which begins usually around June-August. Yepp,  in July 2015, a friend of mine from high school, Titi suddenly offered me to be a host family for a volunteer of AIESEC. Well, my house location is very close to the city center haha That time, all on my mind was "will she/he be willing to stay in my little simple house? ". So I told Titi about the real condition of my house and my parents were excited too to welcome a new member family (as other Indonesians, we were so excited to welcome bule_indonesian word for foreigner_ in our house). Few days later, Titi came home with her family and The Bule. FYI, the student exchange was staying at Titi's house before, 

Do you believe in your dream?

Assalamualaikum, Hello, Bonjour, Hola. After years of deciding to create a new blog, here it is the day, yay! My previous blog was full of (kind of) useless contents, I also forget the email and password because I created in around 10 years ago and the last time updated a posting like 5 years ago 🤣 So for this blog, I hope the contents will be better, more useful, more motivating and give more energy for those who read, including you who read it at the moment. The more I grow up, the more desire on me to travel is increasing. When I was in high school, going abroad is looked so much far away. I never thought that I would get the chance to go abroad in my earlier 20's. But, guess what? For the very first time in the middle of 2017, I finally held my dream in my hand, I went abroad for the very first time of my life. Even until today, I still feel like it was just yesterday. Yeah, in the summer 2017, I found my way to go abroad by doing internship. Before that, I just wi
