Traveler's Passport

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...

After all these days and YEARS, hello again blogger and readers!  Millions of things happened to me in the past few years.  New things. New job. New life. And recently, new place to live. (Yeah, I moved to Bali recently)  These hinder me to go back to my laptop, open my blog, and write my stories again.  But, today -- I'll try to sharpen my writing skill again and continue writing those stories kept in draft for a LONG TIME and finished it, one-by-one.  And, man... those drafts, those stories was already 4-5 years ago!  Time flies so fast and I hope my brain could still remember what happened back then. Ha.  As I checked there is new template published, I also decide to make things look newer here.  Hopefully with the change of style, it could give me new motivation to continue this travel blog project.  Wish me luck with the self-motivation!  Btw, happy long weekend, fellas! 

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...

It is time to add another post for All Around Europe series . For today, I would like to review several grocery stores in Europe. The reviews will be based on my own Shopping O'meter scale and everything written here is based on my own experiences and opinions. :) #1 Shopping O'meter scale :  The place where everything could be found, touched, felt, seen,  and of course bought - whenever you need it, or not. :)  Comments :  Since Kaufland is only 5 minutes away from my office, I often do my grocery shopping here.  The shopping area is big.  The price is relatively low compared with others. The quality equals to what you paid. A suggested place to kill your boring time.  #2 Shopping O'meter scale :  Emergency grocery store for those who forget that shops are closed at 6 PM in Europe.  Comments : I often do my grocery shopping here because this is the last grocery store that still open until 10 ...
