My name's Una and I think I was born with spirit of traveling. One of my dreams in next 15 years is that I have ever stepped on at least 50 countries and 50 Indonesia's islands, as Indonesia is my beloved country. In order to fulfill that dream, I must make my big adventure for traveling complete circle around the earth. I have to prepare and I don’t care whether it would be traveling solo or with a friend or with my closest cousin. I just want to make my own big adventure, and realize it starting in next 5 years. Why not now? I am 19 years old girl, an ordinary college student, financially limited. If later I graduated and had money, I will on my own way around the world. Because for now, I can’t go on adventure in another countries, I began by traveling to cities nearby my city, such as Semarang, Jogjakarta, or Bali. The adventure itself means journey, not the destination. Doesn’t it?
My dad always told me to think differently, because it will make new knowledge for my own. From my dad's advice I want to be an extreme traveler. Extreme in my thoughts is that I would do something extreme or extremely doing something in my adventure. I don't know if it is eating turtles, going to Vanuatu, or biking for thousand miles, or another ways. That's what again one of my dreams, travel differently.
