Traveler's Notes : Important Websites!

By
Go Online -  is the best way (for me) to gather information about travel destination, transportation system, train schedule, and many - many - many more! There are many useful websites, blogs and forum that provide various information about travelling and the most important, their own travelling experiences. I always find it interesting to read others travelling stories and wonder what my story will be if I travel to that place.


Among millions travelling websites, blogs and forums, here is my - must-visit - websites whenever I am looking for some inspirations to decide my next travel destination in Europe. Hope it is useful! :)

Search Engine
  • Google! - it answers EVERYTHING! 
  • Budget Places - for cheap hotels, hostels, apartment, bed and breakfast 
  • Hostel World - another place to visit to look for cheap hotels, hostels, apartments, B&B
  • Airbnb - if you want to meedle with locals or want to rent your room, apartment, etc
Travel Guides
Others

Guess that's all - for now. More will be added in the future! :)

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...

Mulai dari pertengahan bulan Mei ini, saya akan bercerita tentang perjalanan saya ke Yunani. Perjalanan saya ke Yunani relatif singkat, hanya 4 hari 3 malam namun, saya mendapatkan banyak sekali pengalaman yang menarik, menyenangkan, dan juga menyeramkan. Banyak pelajaran yang bisa saya petik dari perjalanan saya ini, salah satunya adalah bagaimana menghadapi perbedaan bahasa atau bahasa kerennya, "language barriers" .  Perbedaan bahasa kerap kali menjadi salah satu alasan utama mengapa para wisatawan tidak mau mengunjungi negara asing. Mereka selalu berpikiran kalau mereka tidak mengerti bahasa lokal, mereka tidak akan bisa berkomunikasi dengan warga sekitar, tidak bisa menemukan tempat yang dituju (baca: nyasar), dan yang paling ditakuti, tidak bisa membedakan mana orang baik dan orang jahat (baca: pencopet, penipu, dkk). Well, mungkin memang banyak hal yang bisa membahayakan keselamatan diri karena perbedaan bahasa, tapi jangan biarkan ketakutan kalian menghalangi k...

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 a...
