My Scholarship entry - Seeing the world through other eyes

WORLDWIDE | Sunday, 8 April 2012 | Views [279] | Scholarship Entry

Traveling always be my passion beside the fashion of course. My quote “traveling with style wherever you go”, this make me seeing the world like comfortable and fun always have a price. but as i grown up i realize by seeing another traveler especially a backpackers the most improtant thing is what you gain by your journey. By that i want to have a new experince by being a backpaker And Thailand is my first backpaker trip. Start from kuala lumpur to hatyai by bus from 10 pm and arrived at 8 am, i get lesson with all the hours i get. You can make your plan trip, you can have a chit chat and make a new friends. After i arrived at hat yai, i take a van to phuket and meet other backpakcer from italy. He tell me about how thailand change now, long time ago he has been to thailand, and patong beach is very calm and peacefull he said, not much shop just beach and sand, its very comfortable, you can swim at five o’clock and no one there, now days, 24 hours you can see people at the beach. So crowded. And then He ask what my plan. I tell him that im going to patong first, after that pattaya and back to kl. he advice not to go to pattaya because not very nice. Just club and city view. he advice me to go to phuket, told me cheap hostel near beach, and in the end he ruin all my plan that i made because i follow all his advice. And at the end of my trip. I found it that backpacker traveling is so much fun. you can see the world diffenrently. meet a lot new friend from driver bus, security, etc. i feel like “ahh is this the world that other see?” Because the old me just see myself in the hotel, shopping, and all the comfortable trip. Now i can see the world through other eyes more wise and respectful thanks to my curiosity of what it feels like to traveling as backpaker, thanks to the italiano that i met in van, and last but not least thanks to all the backpacker that share story in tavel forum that make me jalous, why ure story is so fun! Now i know how it fells,
