Windermere, Lake District
I just came back from a weekend getaway to the Lake District. I’d been planning to go there for a long time, but never really got time to do it until my old friends told me they were coming there. A few days before, I was still hesitating. As much as I wanted to go…

Ljubljana
It’s been 4 months (four!) since I went to Ljubljana, and I must admit that I’m really bad at keeping track of my travel journal. Oh well, better late than never. So after six-hours trip from Salzburg, I arrived at Ljubljana and Maša picked me up at the train station. When she asked, ‘Are you tired?’ I…

Some Bits of June
It’s eleven days into July already, but there are some traces of June that are left in my phone. I’ve been too lazy to bring my camera with me for the past few weeks, so I can’t be more grateful for phone camera. I try not to get attached with my phone, but there are…

Favorite Bits of Bled
A few months ago, when talking about Slovenia, Maša told me about Bled. I googled it and knew right away that I had to go there. All the photos looked dreamy and magical, and the cheap tickets made it easier for me to decide my Easter break plan. I arrived in Ljubljana on Friday night,…

The Second Hellos
About one and a half years ago, Marion came to Indonesia and she stayed at my place for a few days. I was supposed to talk to her in German and she was supposed to talk to me in Indonesian, but a few sentences after ‘Ich heiße Dixie‘ and ‘Nama saya Marion‘, we gave up and talked…

Isle of Wight
The thing about living close to the Isle of Wight is, I never actually planned to go there as I thought I could hop on the ferry whenever I wanted and be there in less than an hour. It’s that close. One day I bumped into Lukas at the campus and told him about the plan to…

The Other Side of Southampton
I had a crappy week. So crappy that I was on the verge of tears for a few days. The weather didn’t help as well. It’s been raining everyday and I didn’t even bother to bring my umbrella with me, as it wouldn’t be much use. The other day, I was on my way to…

Edinburgh
I wrote about Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Castle before, and now I finally managed to find some time to write about my whole experience in that short trip. On my third day in Southampton, I was queuing to enroll (5 hours of standing, no less) when I started chatting with two people in front of…

Edinburgh Castle
On my third day in Edinburgh, I went to the castle despite the terrible weather. I should’ve done that earlier since it was weekend and the line was long. But I had no choice except standing in the drizzle and covering my camera with a plastic bag, hoping it would survive (this beloved camera has always…

Arthur’s Seat
I just came back from a trip to Edinburgh, and I want to start the post with my favorite place there, Arthur’s Seat. I dreaded the weather all the way there, afraid it would be raining so much I wouldn’t be able to hike. So I decided that whenever it wasn’t raining, I would go…
