Welcome to the travel homepage of my blog.

It all started back then after I graduated from high school. I was 'suddenly' having this desire, the passion; to travel the earth. So, it has become my personal commitment, to at least, travel much more often. It was rough at first, especially on how I gather my courage (I was known for being such a reserved, shy, and quite girl), how I manage my expenses so I can travel more, and how I get my parents permission to travel to some place (this is probably the hardest one!). Here are a page dedicated for archiving my travel experiences.
