We are Different

you make money about writing
i make money for traveling

you write about traveling
i travel for writing

you draw beautiful dreams for sale
i pay my dream to materialize real scrap

you make money and be happy
i make money from my happiness

you need one step to money
i need two, because before money there's my passion

How Bad is the Second Mile?

When I decided it's time to make my dream into something that actually happens,
I prepared myself for the followings.
  • Work out ways to increase current income.
  • Reduce favorite cafes from the list.
  • Sacrifice sleeping-in times to avoid taking a taxi.
  • Work out my body to increase current stamina.
I thought that was pretty much already.
I didn't prepare for the second mile.

It never ever occurred to me that I would have to deal with a gym center that service's sucks.
Every morning when I get up and remember that it's my day for the gym,
just the thought of it makes me feel sick.
What an irony, I often think.
People go to a gym to lower their blood pressure.
In my case, my blood pressure just bursts out every time I go to this gym.

Last night when I watched Nat Geo Adventure, I heard something like this:
"If you want something so bad, you would do whatever it takes."

I asked myself,
"How bad do I actually want this?"

Travel Your Dream!

regardless the power of your dream
without working for it
a dream stays forever a dream

too often, it doesn't happen
in all a day's work
but takes a life's journey

you get your dream happen
only if you use that power
and travel your dream


The Baby Steps

In building this website, I've been inspired by two, three actually, major reasons.

First, it's what you surely know, my passion in traveling, photography, and writing.

Second? Hmmm... I'll announce that one day.

Third? It's Alexis Grant's newsletter "The Baby Step That Can't Wait", whom I knew through Travellerspoint.

So what are those baby steps I've made today?
I've put a little something into this website. I've posted some of my travel photos from my home country: Indonesia and from other countries in Asia: Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, China...

and I dream to post more from other countries
in the near future.

In the Beginning

You find nothing here?
Neither do I.

But I dream to fill this space up,
for me and for you.

Although you are apart from me,
I can bring you travel to the places I've been.
