singapore Not going to lie, but I was happy to leave Indonesia for Singapore. I had been anticipating coming here the whole trip so far and was just so excited to finally be there. Indonesia is a beautiful country, don’t get me wrong, but I think after a month I needed a bit of a metropolis. I am a big city girl at heart and I think I just needed…
yogyakarta, java, indonesia After our stay in Malang and our excursion to Mount Bromo, we made a long train journey to Yogyakarta. Being one of th biggest cities in Java, We were never really bored with Yogyakarta. Maybe because our homestay had a swimming pool for us to cool off, or because there were a lot of restaurants in the area of our homestay, but we always found something to do.…
mount bromo, java, indonesia November 5, 2015 at 12:30am. We get into a tiny teal green Toyota-branded jeep, driven by a very nice man named Hary, for what will be a 3 hours journey up the side of a mountain at night. Hary looks us over as we settle ourselves in, glancing at my friend John’s pantless legs, telling us “Bromo is cold” so matter-of-factly that we somehow don’t believe him. I…
ubud, bali, indonesia After Kuta and a day of temples, we finally made it to our next stay in Ubud. We stayed at Jangkrik Homestay run by a lovely family with two very adorable dogs. We stayed for about a week, which I think was just a bit too long in terms of finding new things to do in Ubud, but it was very relaxing. On our first full day,…
kuta, bali, indonesia After 20+ hours of air travel and layovers, I finally made it to Bali with my dear friend John. It was around 4pm on a Friday afternoon when we arrived and we were absolutely exhausted. Yet somehow the both of us managed to functionally stay awake until evening time (like about 9pm) so that we’d be able to sleep through the night. Our first day we didn’t do…
the cyclades, greece If you ever decide to go visit Greece, I definitely suggest hitting up at least one or two of the Greek islands. There are a ton of islands, but on my trip I only visited five of them in the Cyclades. They are such great way to get away from the loud, busy streets of Athens. You can spend all day lying on the beautiful, windy beaches then…
athens, greece I loved and hated Athens. I know that sounds a little extreme, but it’s true. The moment I got out of the metro station onto Monastiraki Square and walked the few paces to my hostel, I was a bit disgusted by all the random tag graffiti all over the city’s building walls. I suppose it was a sign of the times, but it was very off putting at first.…
istanbul, turkey I know I wanted to blog while I was traveling. Honestly, I had fully intended on doing so, but I just got so caught up with simply enjoying my trip that I just forgot. For the majority of my trip I had very poor WiFi service, if any at all, and I kind of liked that. I liked that I didn’t have the distraction of constantly being online…
istanbul, turkey After traveling for about 12+ hours straight with a stopover in Munich, I finally made it to Istanbul, Turkey. It didn’t hit me how completely and utterly terrified I am to be here all by myself until I left the sanctuary of the airport. They drive from the airport to my hotel was fine. The travel rep that picked me up was nice and the drive was smooth.…
