The Struggles to go to Europe Part #1

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.
