Traveling is the hobby that I like the most. But, wait, who doesn't like traveling?
Going to crowded places makes me feel happy. I like to see huge buildings and city lights at night. That's why I love Jakarta. I was born in the capital city of Indonesia so it's not a big deal for me with the crowds, traffic jams, and noise in Jakarta.
But, don't get me wrong. I'm not an extrovert person. Based on the 16 personality tests, I'm 70% introverted and 30% extroverted. I think it depends on who I interact with. Based on my experience, it will be more comfortable if we travel with our loved ones, like family or friends than if we go alone. Even though, one day I have a desire to do solo traveling. However, it would be better if we could make a memory with our loved ones in new places.
When traveling, I'm one of those people who: "It's better to bring more stuff than less" such as clothes and pants. Since the pandemic, the items that are always in my bag are masks, hand sanitizer, dry, and wet tissues. I feel guilty when I don't bring any of the ones I’ve mentioned before. Other than that, the most important things are my cellphone and power bank. It doesn't matter if I don't bring money. Now, the era getting more sophisticated, so everywhere I go I just have to scan QRIS using my cellphone.
Apart from increasing the dopamine hormone in my body, by traveling, I can build social relationships by meeting new people, for example on a trip (bus/train/plane) and of course, collecting precious memories with our loved ones.
