Ah, good to have Joanna here...
Fina is leaving for the UK today. Ready to go. Even the bags were already neatly packed yesterday. And we talked last night until late, somehow seeing her packing made me feel (again) nostalgic. My last trip to Europe was 2 years ago and I still don't foresee any upcoming long trip this year. But who knows, life's full or surprises, isn't it?
I'm glad I didn't forget handing to Fina the book "Gutsy Women: more travel tips and wisdom for the road" by world-class traveler Marybeth Bond. So far that book is still my number one favorite reading before hitting the road. It's full of necessary, common-sense, practical and useful advices. Anyhow I also learned some little lessons from my previous solo travels, but it seems like Fina is more practical than me, so I'm sure she'll manage to sort things out easily and will catch whatever comes her way. Oh, I love adventures!
Today Jakarta, the sky is blue. But it's five o'clock and the streets are crowded and busy. Fortunately I walk home, and always take the opportunity to enjoy and to laugh at the 'scenery' (traffic jam is the usual one...). If I don't feel like cooking tonight I will stop by a street food stall. It's my kind of daily little adventure in the city. Happiness comes from life's little things... :-)
