*pardon for so-so english but I think it’s more efficient to write in this language hehehehehe*
Truth or dare? (TRUTH!!). OK, honestly I’m not following the Pecha Kucha Night Series. Since this is the first time I come to this events my impression described in one word: INSPIRING.
"PechaKucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. The first PechaKucha Night was held in Tokyo in 2013. PechaKucha Nights are informal and fun gatherings where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, holiday snaps –– just about anything, really –– in the PechaKucha 20x20 format. Good PechaKucha presentations are the ones that uncover the unexpected –– unexpected talent, unexpected ideas. Some PechaKuchas tell great stories about a project or a trip. Some are incredibly personal, some are incredibly funny, but all are very different, and they turn each PechaKucha Night into ‘a box of chocolates’."
–– Pecha KuchaLast night, Pecha Kucha Jakarta held this Volume 22 at Es Teler 77, Adityawarman Street, South Jakarta, with a theme: Globetrotter.
I came here to support Wanderlust Indonesia, meet Dini as much as I can before she go abroad to pursue her master degree.
Since I met Dini, traveling and adventuring with her and knowing she establish community-based tourism called Waderlust Indonesia, my heart just melt and decided to support her endlessly as much as I could to contribute their events. Yes I am one of big fan haha!
Beside Dini, there are nine other speakers who also have many inspiring stories, including Giri Prasetyo and Kartu Pos (big fan of Giri’s video! guess what?

(I pay attention to detail because one day I’m gonna be like this; traveling with kids, aamiin!!!!) This husband and wife have two sons and love to travel. They admitted that “Traveling with family is rempong (hectic)” and “Traveling with family is expensive”. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do it we can make timetable when we must feed the children, take them to bath, sleep etc. It’s also not always expensive if we aware the value of traveling and arranged smart budget by saving budget strictly, hunting early bird ticket or redeem mileage, hunting promo accommodation, and prepare everyhing (e.g visa) using time management. *SALUTE!*

One thing that he said about his experience is make sure you show them that you're not psycho or freaky person when you ask to stay, hitchhike and everything. It’s also a must for us to say no if we think we’re not hundred percent sure about some things especially when hitchhike. Beside common hitchhiking he also like to use this website for more safe ride sharing.
