My Top 6 Destination

Sebagai orang yang suka jalan-jalan (dan day-dreaming), barusan aku menghayal buat bisa jalan-jalan keluar negeri...

Basically, any country will do. I prefer outside Asia, to be honest. The one whose first language is English because I certainly will be damned if I go to a country which language I couldn't speak??? But recently I've been thinking about these particular country with certain destination and I would die if I could really go to any-if possible, ALL-of these places.

Sooooo without any further do, this is my top 6 list!

This picture is not rated based on my most wanted to the least one. Simply because I just wanted to arrange it that way???

1. New York City

Siapa sih yang gak pengen ke New York City? Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, kalo kata mbak Alicia. Sebenernya aku bakal selalu pengen ke Amerika. Dulu jaman SMP waktu masih ada 90210, aku pengen banget jadi sosialita di Beverly Hills. Tapi abis itu aku menemukan HIMYM.....gimana aku ga jatuh cinta sama NYC with Ted rambling about Empy and all the perks of being a New Yorker and stuffs. If I eventually step my foot on New York, certainly the first place that I will visit is Times Square!!! Mungkin aku kedengeran kaya alay-alay yang baru pertama kali ke Monas ya tapi rasanya kalo kita ada di Times Square itu bener-bener kaya....melting pot? Semua orang ada disana dari segala suku ras agama gender, you name it. Besides, with all of the buildings, we could be reminded of how small we are compared to the world. #deepaf

Terus abis dari Times Square aku mau ke SoHo buat nyobain Georgetown Cupcake setelah selama ini cuma nontonin reality show nya doang :p

2. Derby, Australia

Mungkin kalian bertanya-tanya, kenapa ga ke Sydney, Perth, or any famous Australia city. As you can see at the grid, that is Baobab Tree. Itu pohon yang legendanya, karena dia itu pohon yang sombong di khayangan, jadi dia dicabut terus dibuang ke Bumi. Eh pas sampe Bumi malah ketanem kebalik gitu, jadi dahannya itu kaya akar. Jadi aku pertama kali tau pohon Baobab ini di sebuah novel, pada novel yang sama dimana aku dapet nama Lolita. If you're my 10th grade friend, you must be know how lunatic I am about this trilogy.

I think I just need to see this tree with my bare eyes before I die. Katanya sih di Indonesia juga ada. Tapi yang paling tua dan populasi alaminya itu ada disini??? I don't know. 

(Ya, segampang itu hidupku dipengaruhi film dan novel gimana aku ga jadi kaya gini coba ok bye)

3. London

Who can resist English accent? Duh, like obviously, siapa yang ga pengen ke London? With all of its destination, the vibes (biarpun kata orang Inggris asli, vibes disana itu ga bagus but what do I know? aku ga pernah kesana:' hiks), the accent, duh-oh guyss do I have to explain more?

Lagian Conan pernah berubah jadi Shinichi pas lagi di London. (LAH TERUS) (tuh kan dipengaruhi hal fiktif lagi)

4. Santorini, Greece

I used to rave more about France than Greece. I don't know why when searching this countries, France didn't make it on the top 6. Lately I've been dreaming soooooo much about Greece. Di awali dari postingan Path seorang teman yang liburan Spring Break tahun lalu ke Yunani and I was thinking, "leh uga nih" but that's it. Lalu tiba-tiba 3 minggu yang lalu ada tugas buat bikin paper tentang perekonomian negara lain and I was thinking, "kenapa ga Yunani? mereka baru aja dideklarasikan bangkrut but I think their fine already so I must've had a lot to talk about" dan along the way pas lagi cari bahan di Google, muncullah image-imagenya dan OMG it's so beautiful......I don't know if it's just me being a basic-universe-girl or what but I think the universe is conspire against something here.

5. Gangga River, India

Jadi sebenernya tadi aku ngetik di google dengan spesifik, sungai gangga. Tapi gambar yang muncul tidak layak pajang so I downloaded the Taj Mahal picture instead. India will be the destination that I and my parents will visit together. Semoga aku ada kesempatan, umur, kesehatan dan rejeki buat mengajak orangtuaku ke negara asal agamaku because yeah I just kinda want to.

6. Osaka, Japan

Dulu males banget sebenernya kalo ditawarin ke Asia, apalagi yang bahasa dan hurufnya aku ga ngerti. Kaya waktu SMA padahal ada tawaran exchange ke Korea tapi aku mikir, "well, I don't like KPOP, I can't speak the language, jadi kenapa maksa?" Padahal setelah dipikir-pikir, lumayan banget kalo ke Korea dengan biaya yang waktu itu ditawarin sama sekolah. Yha knp ngomongin Korea coba-_-

Jadiiii aku pengen ke Jepang karena...........ada Universal Studio yang ada Harry Potternya!!!! Because I am THAT Potterhead :)) aku tau kok I probably spend the rest of my day there because you know kan that I am not an ammusement-park-type of girl. Tapi demi Harry Potter ku rela deh :')

Ohya, aku juga mau liat bunga sakura live di Jepang tapi ku juga mau kesana pas winter biar ada salju??? omg I am so paradoxical I'm gonna die confuse.

That probably will be on the top of my list for all time. Sebenernya aku agak takut ngepost ini because I don't wanna jinx it like I did to my 2015's resolution. But I don't care. If I am ready to share it with the world then I have to work my ass off to make that happened so I am not ashamed! On the other hand, I don't really set a goal that I have to visit these countries before I *insert activity/age here* because I simply didn't want to give pressure to my self and I want to lower my expectation. Remember expectation leads to disappointment??? And life has enough pressure already I don't want to miss the fun of being alive just because I have to live based on society standards or stuff. Been there, done that. Didn't bring me any good, though.

And oh, I wanna post more about my travelling experience on this blog. I actually planned to post my Malang trip, my Sukabumi trip and all but God I am a big-fat-procrastinator who eventually post about my menye menye story because I am sensitive like that.  Hopefully this year I could travel more than I used to because my college life is.....1 and a half-year to go? After that I will work all the time and sure enough will not have the time to travel.
