I am not really aware why I like to travel, In my opinion, I must visit some new places every 3 months. I think, my hobby, traveling can improve my English because I often find difficult situations, such as how to ask and give directions to strange people, or sometimes I ask to other people for looking the nearest home stay or hotel. According to my experience, I have ever met with tourist in Gili Trawangan, he comes from Australia then he asked about the ship ticket from Gili Trawangan to Bali Island and I responded in English that the ticket prize is Rp.250.000 (Two hundred and fifty thousand rupiah) for one person.

A fter I graduated from Senior High School in 2011, I decided to work as waitress in a restaurant. I worked as waitress for 2 years, and then I applied to be a customer service officer at Plaza Semanggi Mall, until in March 2013 I have a plan to continue my study. It because I thought that I already have enough money for my future study in university. At the beginning, It was not easy to do since I often work and earn money as much as I can.

I do believe that only a few people know where Majalengka is? Mostly people more know to Cirebon. Majalengka is one of a small city in West Java. It is located between Cirebon and Bandung. If you have been visited Cirebon, then you want to go to Bandung, you must have passed Jalan Raya Cirebon-Bandung, Majalengka. The distance from Cirebon to Majalengka about only 5 kilometers, it spends 15 minutes by car or motorcycle. Whereas, if you start from Jakarta.

It is going to be a good alternative place for your weekend or your vacation....
