Brief Old Journey

Ah, finally I created this blog. I have been dreaming about having a travel blog since 2 or 3 years ago but I never did it. Now, as the new year begins, I have to force my self to make it comes true.

As the first post, I would like to share about me. I am a girl named Ana and comes from a small village in Aceh, Indonesia. When I was a small kid, my parents took me along with them to go to some cities outside Aceh like Medan, Jakarta, and Bandung. However, it was really hard for me to recall that memory since I was still a 4 or 5 years old at that time. I just remember some pieces of the journey such as I once had the a furry brown doll when I was traveling on the train, I visited my parents' colleague, I was lived in a small house with the narrow path in front of the house and I loved to see the Satria Baja Hitam movie.

When I grew up more, I always wanted to follow everyone I know who planned to visit my parents' hometown which is about 400 km far from my house even I knew that I would troublesome them because I could not stand with carsick and always vomitted. What a desire to travel!

Then, my very first journey that I had to take was when I nominated as the representative of Aceh to compete in a national contest in Jogjakarta. I was in a team so we went to Jogja together by a ferry. I was 12 years old at that time, what I knew was just practise harder to win the contest. I even did not so interested in seeing sunset over the ferry, neither enjoying the view from the bus window nor walking around Jogja. However, I visited Borobudur at that time and the rest was just make me regret it now because I did not travel as much as I could. Nevertheless, I got the first runner up at the contest so at least I reached my goal to win the contest. After that journey, I travelled again in my Senior High. I went to Bandung and Jakarta joining the study tour program. It was my first journey by plane. I was so excited and really happy.

I had travelled a lot in my college life and after, so I will post each of them as a single entry. This post is just about an introduction, a short explanation about my travel story.
