Cartagena

Cartagena was magical, there were so many awesome things happening when we were there around Christmas. I thought the city would be...

Rio Claro

I noticed that itinerary of what they called “the road less taken” or “off the beaten path” are à la mode lately. I personally don’t have any preference in visiting either common places or the off the beaten path ones as long as it intrigues my travel interest (things that intrigue my interest: na...

Retinal Migraine

Tuesday is my most crucial day at work. It’s the day when I transform myself from a cute administrative professional into a (still cute) digital project monger and spend hours looking for project tenders to bid for the company.

I like coffee like I like myself: Sweet, hot, and Indonesian.

Brought up in Indonesia, the 4th biggest coffee producer in the world, coffee has become a natural part of my daily life.

This serious self-designation shouldn’t be taken lightly and therefore it was crucial for us to visit a coffee plantation while we were in Colombia. What?

We started our trip in Colombia by landing in Bogota and spend 5 days in the city. Packed with minimum logistic and maximum worry of safety, we arrived late at night at El Dorado airport.

Bogota, busting the city’s myths in 5 day

Bogota (and Colombia in general) has been labeled with so many negative reps, this stigma has repelled travelers from visiting and missing the chance of experiencing the true charm of the city. I must admit, I had a lot of concerns too before I actually spent 5 days flashpacking in this cold-weather...

Medellin region

Day 9. Bus to Medellin
We moved on to the next city, Medellin by taking a 6 hours bus ride through the zigzaging road along the mountain. This bus trip definitely was not for the weak bellies like me. I could taste the empanadas and papaya I had for bre...
