Postcard #1: Vatican

By
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! :)

All Around Europe : Trains in Germany

By
Back to All Around Europe series! For today's post, I would like to share the information about the train in Germany as train is one of the main public transportation in Germany and it is always essential for us, travelers to know the transportation systems in our destination country. Driven from my experiences, I got confused about the types of trains in Germany because there are many types of train in Germany and I did not know what are the differences between each of them. Therefore, I hope this post could help you to get to know the types of trains in Germany! The Hohenzollen bridge, Cologne, Germany. ICE (Inter-City Express) The fastest train in town - with top speed up to 300 km/h!  You could choose this train for a long journey travelling because it is very comfortable (especially 1. class) and the train only stops in the main train station. With a great service, no wonder if you have to pay more for ICE tickets compared with other train types. Howev...

All Around Europe : Local Airports Part I

By
This post is dedicated to all European budget airlines lovers! Airport - is the important place. This is where our travelling starts and ended. If we could not know where is the airport and how to get to the airport, than our travelling will be a mess. Since I travel a lot with European budget airline,  I have to invest more time to look for the information regarding the airports used in budget airports, especially the location and how to get there (most important!).  Most of the budget airline (esp. Ryan Air) are using local airports which is located far (away) from the city. Beside the location, these local airports also do not have varieties of public transportation access. Therefore, I decided to compile the information regarding these-out-of-nowhere local airports in Europe. I hope it could help all European budget airlines lovers! :) After did some listing, I realised there will be too much information here - that might make you explode. Therefore, I decided to d...

Hostel Review : Dioskouros Athena

By
Ini nih, hostel yang pengen banget saya review sejak bertahun-tahun yang lalu. Tapi, apa daya... keinginan hanyalah keinginan dan AKHIRNYA, setelah 4 tahun berlalu akhirnya saya bisa menulis review hostel ini. Dioskouros Hostel  Pittakou 6, Athena 10558, Yunani Penampakan depan Hostel Dioskouros. Photo credit to the owner. Saya menemukan hostel ini dibahas di beberapa blog travelers lainnya ketika mereka berkunjung ke Athena. Dengan dibekali review yang cukup positif dan hasil penemuan saya di google yang menyebutkan 1)  lokasi yang cukup dekat dengan pusat kota, 2) terletak di wilayah yang bisa dibilang aman untuk turis asing dan 3) harganya sesuai dengan budget kantong, akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk book hostel ini selama kunjungan saya ke Athena. Pas hari-H, ternyata kualitas hostel ini sesuai dengan ekspetasi dan review positif yang ditulis para blogger. Tempatnya tidak jauh dengan pusat kota Syntagma dan Plaka (5 menit jalan kaki) dan dekat dengan stas...
