Be BRAVE!! then Travel around Indonesia




Worrying takes people nowhere. That quote encourages some people to chase their dream to travel around the world. They need their braveness as it is a must for travelers. Well, are you brave enough to be a traveler?

I bet, many people dream about traveling abroad, like Euro trip or Indochina trip. Unfortunately, money becomes the major problem to do those trips. Thank God, we have an alternative for that (and actually this alternative is much better than Euro trip, Indochina trip, or others) as we live in the richest and the most beautiful country in the world, INDONESIA!

If you want to see beautiful beach with white sand and turquoise sea, you don’t need to go to Hawaii or Maldives. We have Padang Bai beach and Dreamland beach in Bali; Lengkuas island and Tanjung Tinggi beach in Belitong; Gili Nanggu, Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and many others in Lombok. If you think trips to those places are still expensive for you, NO PROBLEM! You can enjoy the magnificent Karimun Jawa islands in north Jepara or Thousand Island in the Bay of Jakarta. With only 300.000-500.000 rupiahs, we can do sunbathing, run around the beach, or just lay on the beautiful white sands. Well, those places are only a few out of all beautiful places in Indonesia. It would take a lot of space if you write them all. Can you imagine? Amazing, right!?!




For you who love diving, Indonesia has sooooooooo many diving spots more than other
countries, such as Raja Ampat, Komodo Island, Bunaken, Sabang, and many more. Even, diving spots in Indonesia are claimed as the richest sea ecosystem by most of world divers.
If you prefer spending your holiday on the high land, Indonesia also is the right place for you. You can do hiking on Mt. Bromo, Mt. Rinjani, and many other places. You can also do rafting at Citarik river and Serayu river as well as paragliding on Puncak Cipanas, or Langkisau in West Sumatera.

See? Sooooo many beautiful places in Indonesia that I haven’t mentioned YET. Probably hundreds or maybe thousands. So proud to be Indonesian, to be born in Indonesia, to live in Indonesia, where we can travel to many beautiful places with minimal budget. So what are you waiting for? Let’s explore our beloved Indonesia. Still worried and not brave enough? Then sit on your seat and get nowhere ;)

FLAG of INDONESIA



This is how Indonesia's flag looks like. It has the color of red and white. Monaco also has the exact same flag like Indonesia does, but they have the different philosophies. As stated in http://www.worldflags101.com/m/monaco-flag.aspx, red and white in Monaco’s flag were the heraldic colors of the ruling Grimaldi family. In Indonesian flag, "red" symbolizes the human body (as people have red blood), reflecting the bravery of the citizens and "white" represents the human spirit, indicating the purity.
