Postcard #1: Vatican

The one and only post office in Vatican
Postcards and travelling are so closely related.

I learned it for the first time when my friend told me that she has sent many postcards to Indonesia while she was staying in Germany. I laughed at her at first but the more I travel, I realized that even though postcards do not too popular in Indonesia, but it IS in other countries. And, postcards are the CHEAPEST authentic souvenirs you could buy wherever you are travelling!

From this, I get an idea to write about my postcards in Traveler's Passport. It might look so boring, but I hope through this post I could spread the "postcards fever" to all travelers around the world!

So, here is my first postcard in Europe - the one originated from Vatican. I sent it on July 2nd, 2012 from post office in Vatican.

The price for each postcard is around 50 cent - 1 Euro and the stamps costed around 1.60 Euro.



Since it was the first time, I sent three postcards to Indonesia and took picture from each of them! :)

Hostel Review : Camping Village Jolly

In June, I am planning to write a lot about my journey to Italy which was . . . exactly a year ago. So, as a starting post, I would like to share a hostel review of Camping Village Jolly . :)  Camping Village Jolly is a backpacker "home" for those travelling to Venice. It is located in the mainland and it takes around 15 minutes long journey from the nearest bus stop to Venice.  Camping Jolly to Venice on google maps The nearest bus stop is 15 minutes away from the Village, but if you are too tired to walk, Camping Village Jolly provides shuttle bus service. You have to check the shuttle schedule once you land your feet in Camping Village Jolly and book it right away - because it is limited! Also, you have to spend your Euro if you want to use the shuttle bus service. I forgot how much it is, but it should cost less than 5 Euros. :)  Note from me: if you take the night shuttle service, the bus stops in Tronchento and you could not go there without using...

3 Langkah Hemat Jalan-Jalan di Stockholm

Ini dia, kota TERBAIK dan juga TERMAHAL yang pernah saya kunjungi di Eropa. Stockholm - ibukota dari Swedia dan juga sering disebut sebagai ibukota dari negara Scandinavia. Negara Scandinavia merupakan gabungan dari 4 negara yang terletak di Eropa bagian utara, yaitu Denmark, Finlandia, Norwegia dan Swedia. Ke-empat negara Scandinavia ini merupakan negara yang kaya raya dan juga memiliki biaya hidup yang lebih tinggi apabila dibandingkan dengan negara Eropa lainnya. Hal inilah yang membuat sebagian orang enggan untuk mengunjungi negara ini - kebanyakan mereka berpikir kalau berlibur di negara Scandinavia akan menghabiskan tabungan mereka dalam sekejap.

Berikut 3 langkah hemat untuk jalan-jalan di ibukota Scandinavia - yang terkenal mahal - ini. 1. Menginap di HOSTEL yang dekat dengan pusat kota  Seb...
