This roam alone it’s the first time for me, I decided to travel alone. Do what i like doing things I've never done and finding new experiences in life by this journey I intend to travel Without having to prepare a travel plan no need to travel to places that are popular with tourists. No need to eat at a famous restaurant. Sometimes traveling like this make me meet new, things that others have never met.            This trip of mine occurred during the new year I decided to ask my parents to go to a nearby place as a gift for myself for this year. I told my parents that this trip I will travel alone I took the train that is public transportation of Thailand for traveling I choose to travel early in the morning. Because in the morning the weather is suitable for the train then, looking out the window to see the nature around me my only trip on my first trip was Khon Kaen - Nong Khai for a 1 day round trip at half past five. At Khon Kaen Railway Station I arrived at the train station to depart to Nong Khai train station at 6 o'clock in the morning according to my ticket reservation time, it was the time that the train arrived. And I have to start traveling But unexpected events occur from the start of the train journey. 1 hour and a half delay. One hour and a half later. Finally the train arrived and of course, during the new year, people on the train are very crowded but what made me forget that chaos was the environment in which it was always moving. It made me realize that in our world, there are many things waiting for us to learn. And set out to explore three hours later , I arrived at the Nong Khai train station.             The first step that I got off the train at the Nong Khai train station at that time I was still excited all the time. Due to my trip this time I intend not to make any plans. Because I want to keep traveling, I want to find new destinations that are waiting for me to explore. Not just traveling by popular tourist destinations I started traveling at Tha Sadat Market. At that time I was very hungry. I keep walking on the quiet side of the road. And found a Vietnamese breakfast restaurant which the whole shop is local people come to eat together when the food came to put in front of me the first word that gets the taste is very special. Until sometimes I think not, don't tell others that this restaurant is very delicious I want to keep this special thing alone(It's really funny). Next station, a cafe decorated in a minimal style s uitable for people who like to take pictures a lot. Relaxing with a cup of coffee and coffee gave me inspiration for my next journey. I decided to walk along the Mekong River. The atmosphere walking along the Mekong River Which is a river that separates the territory between Thailand and Laos with the sunset view It made us realize that our world is really beautiful. Look at the watch on the wrist. Do we have to go back now?              This is my only trip is a journey that has made me know experience new experiences and solve problems that come during the trip. Although I was the only way alone on the trip. But that does not mean that I am traveling alone on earth I have my travel companion every time. And every time I set out I have seen the movement of the world that is constantly moving. And my trip this time made me start traveling many more trips another and trip that impresses me in my life is hiking Mount Rinjani in Indonesia. If you want to hear the first hiking experience in my life. I am very pleased to share this experience with you at the event World Nomads.
