Selalu menyenangkan menjelajahi negara baru. Ada banyak hal yang berbeda, hal yang kita anggap sepele atau biasa saja di Indonesia, justru menjadi sesuatu yang unik ketika mengetahui bahwa hal itu asing di negeri orang. Di Montreal kita bisa menjumpai hockey, salju, pameran seni di jalan, bahkan toko ganja. Sebaliknya, hal apa yang ada di Indonesia […]
About early 2021 I finally got issued a visa to Canada. However as everybody knows, we were going through the second year of the pandemic, and the cases were still high and international borders were restricted.

What is better than hot babes on a hot Bali beach? A fresh and cold coconut water, of course!
Bali is an island for beach lovers. With so many stunning beaches all around the island, you could even spend your entire holiday visiting different beaches.

But when I canceled my homey apartment rental in Jakarta, sold all my furnitures […]
If I have to say what one thing I like the most in Kuala Lumpur, it is about its parks! Especially because I was coming from Jakarta–before I got to KL–where parks are rarity. Indeed, for the last few years there have been new parks built in Jakarta. Since they are relatively new, you can’t […]
Setiap kali membuat paspor baru atau memperpanjang paspor yang sudah habis masa berlakunya, selalu saja muncul pertanyaan bagaimana prosedur pembuatan paspor di Indonesia? Dalam selang waktu lima tahun sejak aku terakhir kali membuat paspor, sudah banyak hal yang berubah.
