Indonesia is known as the largest archipelago country in the world. Indonesia consists of more than 17.000 islands and 32 provinces. Each province has special attractions to attract the visitors. Many visitors from other countries feel interested of our country because Indonesia has mix of interesting culture, exotic foods, and beautiful places. Since Indonesia is located across the equator, the state has a tropical clime throughout the twelvemonth. This situation also makes the international visitors want to come here to enjoy the good weather and do interesting activities such as river kayaking, rafting, and snorkeling that they can not find in their countries. Living in Indonesia is such an exciting thing because if we want to travel to other cities we are able to use car or other cheap transportations. We also don’t need to spend a lot of money for buying flight tickets. Accomodation is probably the biggest expense when you travel. It has been a common practice to book and stay in a fancy hotel. But while you are travelling in Indonesia, you don’t need to pay for a lot of money for staying or buying fancy things here. There are so many places offering traditional culture services for making domestic and international visitors to feel the joy of Indonesia nature. A big recommendation for internasional visitors to come and visit Indonesia for a low budget trip. Mostly people know about Bali Island to be the important place to visit in Indonesia. Bali offers visitors to see the nature of Indonesia. Snorkeling and sunbathing are common things to do there. Actually there are many attractions can be done there out of those two. I’m glad to know my family’s hobby is travelling. The culture of our family is to explore anything new in the world as long as we are alive. Since I am not someone that earns money and spends it only for travelling, I dedicate myself to do my hobby by planning all the travel preparations. From searching for a low budget accommodation until asking to my travelling friends which places are worth to visit in Indonesia. Around more than 150 tourism objects I’ve visitied since I was a baby until now I’m 20 years old. Starting from going around Java Island and visiting each tourism objects in every cities I visited. This trip was not done in a period, but I separated the north and the south trip in different period. During my north trip, I can say my favorite place was in Semarang. Semarang is known as an old town in the Center Java. I could feel the modern vibe and the old town vibe in the same time because the city gave me the old town view with sophisticated facilities. For the south trip, I choose Pangandaran to be my favorite place. I visited Green Canyon Pangandaran some years ago. It was a memorable moment because it was my first time going to a deep canyon enjoying the beauty of Indonesia. Not many people know about this place that’s why the government needs to promote and develop this tourism object becoming a famous destination. My goal for the next 5 years is to visit the 7 wonders of the world. One of my reasons why I want to visit the 7 wonders is because those were voted by people around the world to be interesting places that offer fantastic history inside. Travelling can be classified into two types, which are budget travel and luxury travel. Different people prefer different ways of travel as different experiences can be obtained through both budget travel and luxury travel. As long as we can choose the cheaper option for travelling, why should we choose the expensive one ? Getting a good experience of travelling is a need but it does not mean we have to spend a lot of money for it and also by visiting a low budget tourism does not mean we get bad services during the vacation too. It’s even an opposite because Indonesia offers the visitors for good travel services with a cheap price. It will be a very worthy experience for everyone.
