• Hemester Idea in Skåne*

  Summer is the time when most people in Sweden (if not all) take a break and travel to their favourite summer destinations: Thailand, Greece, Spain and so on. But that was the time before Covid-19. This summer, as traveling overseas is still not recommended, Sweden embraces summer holiday within the country or locals call it: hemester. […]

• Chasing Aurora in Abisko (Part 2)

  As I said in my previous post, our train from Stockholm arrived in Abisko Östra at around 10 am and we were welcomed by heavy snow showers. But we didn’t mind.

Sejujurnya, saya (atau kami lebih tepatnya), tidak punya preferensi khusus dalam memilih maskapai.

• A Week in Lisbon, Portugal

  To be honest, Lisbon had never been on my bucket list. It never crossed my mind to visit this capital city of Portugal before. I mean, I don’t have any special memory or obsession with the city (unlike what I have with Milan, Venice or Amsterdam 😄 ). So when Zaki told me that he’s […]
