In my country, people my age already have a partner, even a child. Almost all of my close friends are married. I'm the only one who's not married, and I have a partner. Never mind to get married, to have a boyfriend just feel very lazy. I forgot the last time I fell in love with a man. Since I routinely did Traveling a few years ago, my life has changed. Traveling like dating, and falling in love that never makes you hurt only Traveling. Almost every month I do solo backpacking to various countries out there. What makes me study, life is not always about getting married and having children. There are still many beautiful things that you have to see, there are still many experiences that you must feel before you get married, have children and be unable to go anywhere later. Initially, I traveled because I really wanted to know about a city and look for dusk in a new place. But, lately I travel because I'm sick of all the people around me who always tell me to get married. I don't want to do it this time! I still want to enjoy this freedom and visit other countries that I haven't visited. So, not infrequently I make a sudden trip, just because I want to escape from the chatter of the people around me. Because I often travel spontaneously and I'm not born into a rich family. So, when I travel my budget is very minimal. So that finally I was able to make a challenge with just 30 dollars to make a trip for 3 days 2 nights in various countries out there. What an achievement! Many of them think I'm crazy, because my trip is too random and offhand. I am a woman, I am Muslim (wearing a hijab), and I dare to do many things alone in a foreign country though. Because I always believe in meeting good people later out there. This is particularly true for women. I can't tell you how many times people ask me, "But aren't you afraid?" or "Is it safe?" even some of them often think I'm crazy because of the journey I take. Without travel plans, without booking accommodations, go with only a minimal budget, walk tens of kilometers to save budget, even when I was first solo backpacking to Europe I left without using an internet package at all. But, do you know that I feel happy when I can do many crazy things. There are so many preconceptions that people hold about solo travel but, the reality is very different to what most people imagine. I cannot deny that I spend the most time with myself and it is important to enjoy yourself. This is not about romanticizing loneliness but about celebrating solitude. Experiences, my travel stories, the countless strangers I met, the countless destinations I passed were my own collection. Places you visit, conversations you have, memories you make, walks you take This is a very personal thing and a solo trip allows you to keep this experience - closer, and closer, to yourself. Every time I go to a new destination, I leave some of us to stay there forever. The memories and experiences I have felt in my heart. The photo album and travel journal that I fill in a trip is a valuable collection for me. In fact, solo traveling is a life-changing experience. I went on a solo trip to find the experience but returned as a storyteller. I have spent many of my last few years relaxing and enjoying dusk accompanied only by a cup of coffee and afternoon breeze in various parts of the world and I really enjoyed it! I wake up everyday and the first thing I have to ask myself is "What do I want to do today?" I then left, and did it! When returning home and going to sleep I always close the day by asking myself "Risa, are you happy today?". This is always repeated, again and again. With this, I can always learn to be a person who is always grateful in any case.
