Bagpackers to Beijing. China

Actually i have experienced many time to visit and travel to a country that their language is not my mother tongue. I don't care of the language. I just want to explore and see the world. It is the precious thing to do than feel insecure or worry about the language. I still can survive and manage although with different language because i will always plan my travel well! I found great and reasonable return flight ticket by Royal Brunei which is worth. I bought the ticket 5 months before depart. A week adventure to Beijing! YEahhhh!! I've planned my itineraries, accommodations and activities to do there. Very well prepared. Quite long itineraries i've done. I'm happy with my plans. It was finally happening. My very first adventure in Beijing, China. I kept repeating in my head “I’m going to Beijing. I’m actually going.” There are places that call to you long before you ever see them. I didn’t just travel to China — I walked straight into a world of ancient palaces, towering walls, bustling streets, and timeless traditions. For me, that place was Beijing — a city where ancient emperors once ruled, where temples whisper old secrets, and where the Great Wall stretches beyond the horizon like a dragon guarding the mountains. This trip wasn’t just a holiday. It was a dream I carried for years. A promise I made to myself: One day, I will stand on the Great Wall of China. And finally, that day arrived. With my luggage, excitement in my chest and the cold autumn air brushing my face, I stepped into a city filled with history, flavors, colors, and wonders waiting to be explored. Let me tell you a secret. Beijing is not just a city… it’s a full-on adventure waiting to happen! I was excited, curious, slightly lost… and absolutely loving it. I came here to explore the city, eat nice food & snacks, and climb the legendary Great Wall of China — a big tick off my bucket list! From historical palaces to night cruises, from crowded markets to peaceful parks, Beijing surprised me, challenged me, fed me and stole my heart all at once. 

Adventure mode: ON.
Beijing trip: Begin!

Months of planning, reading blogs, plotting maps, and dreaming about ancient walls, imperial palaces, and steaming bowls of Beijing noodles had brought me to this moment:  The butterflies began even before I boarded the night flight at KLIA 1. The cold Beijing air greeted me like a challenge, and I accepted it with a smile.

Explore Wonderful Surabaya

For your information, i've planned to go to Surabaya and already bought the flight ticket before Covid-19 hit us. AND guess what, the day that the government announce to do entire lockdown is the day that we were speechless and shocked. LOLL. It was almost a week before we fly to Surabaya.
