estungtung: Why I Really Want To Travel (Jordan)

Hmmm well my friend Alex just posted about his dreaming places he wants to visit and now it’s time to tell about mine. But before I tell you about it all, you have to know who and what have inspired me to travel around the world (I am pretty sure I will).

The first traveler I met was Wienfried aus Regensburg, Deutschland. In the same day, I also met Mathieu. Il vient de Français. If you read wallposts or comments on his facebook wall, hmmm it is all about travelling. I think Ethiopia is the best. Hey, I am in Africa now. Hey, I just came back from LA. Hey, I will go to Africa, what do you think? Advice? Hey, I just moved to Paris… bla bla bla. I am envy hahaha. And the first Canadian traveler I met was Chris. He is very, very kind and friendly. We listened to the music together, played hacky sack together, he also sent me hacky sacks, und wichtig ist we still keep in touch till now. Hey, do you know? There is only one store which sells the best quality hacky sack in his city and he made time for buying me those hacky sacks, hmmm hopefully I can send something good to him someday. Chris has been to more than 40 countries now -that’s impressive- and his first destination was United States, because it’s next to Canada hahaha but he went to Great Britain in the age of 19, so I really want to go to Germany before 20 hahaha, hoffentlich klappt das!

The first travelling show I watch is Jelajah. I also watch Jejak Petualang, and the best host in Indonesian travelling show to me is Riyani Djangkaru and you know what? It’s a she! Klasse, oder? She’s a woman, and she hosts a travelling show around Indonesia. The best episode of hers was Komodo Islands (Part 2). It was just incredible because her show is very real and she hosts it interestingly. I also like the Kupang Episode where she did Kupang Cave Diving. Ambon Episode was also outstanding. Oh yeah I love her show.

I also watch international travelling show such as An Amazing Adventure of a Nobody, By Any Means, Long Way Down, Ultimate Travelers, Word Travelers, Endurance Traveler, Exploring the Vines, Ship Diaries, Cycling Home from Siberia, Don’t Tell My Mother, and many more. All of them you can watch in National Geographic Adventure. One of my favorites is Earth Tripping by Ethan Zone. He was the winner of something haha I forgot it, but it was a travelling competition or something. My favorite episodes are when he visited Mexico and Argentina. New York Episode war auch gut. Alles gut haha.

But, the first and the best international travelling show I’ve ever watched is DEPARTURES. You do know how I love this show. The first episode I watched was North Korea (Part 2). It was heart-touching when Justin, Scott (hosts) and Andre (cameraman) were visiting a Kindergarten (I guess) and Justin wore a Panda hat to make the children laugh but no one laughs so war er sehr, sehr verzweifelt, it was pretty funny hahahaha. Many, many people and I love this show very much. You can read people’s comments in Departures’s facebook group; they said how they love this show.

We love it very much because it is real, honest, inspiring, and also hosted and documented by GREAT MEN. Yeah, Justin Lukach, Scott Wilson, and Andre Dupuis are “Three Musketeers of Travelling”. They have their own special personality, they are pretty different, but they complete each other. Justin is funny and humorous. He loves animals so much and he made this show more alive. Hey, here is a funny dialog between Justin and Scott: Where have you been? We are looking for you, you didn’t help us. I saw a goat, I was chasing a goat. Hahaha Justin is just pretty funny, while Scott is motherlike hahaha. Yes, he just is. Remember what Justin said in Canadian Episode? Scott is like the big bear takes care of everything. I am like bad girl, running around, getting the honey. Hahaha :D And about Andre, I don’t know much about Andre but he is definitely a good cameramen. His shots are always marvelous. Unfortunately, Justin is no longer travelling with Scott and Andre. Scott and Andre are doing a new travelling Show titled Descending and I heard that it has been running since last January in Canada, and Justin is doing his own project in Las Vegas, city he used to live in. Both shows are awesome, and thank God they still support each others.

My favorite episode is ummmm all episodes if I could say, haha but Sri Lanka is the best I think. Nuwara Eliya, Sigiria, the beach, all of those is awesome! Do you remember when Justin, Scott, and Andre dancing together in the jungle with loco people there? The music guys, the music, and Scott’s words just made me always cry when watching this episode. Also, do you know the backsound of its promo, the lyric is about: I was like you when I was wondering. We see many world senses then. Yeah at least it’s all that I could here. And Scott’s words: this all trip is about now and never, so it’s now or never. Those words also inspire me so much. I become pretty sure that someday I can reach out my dream to conquer this world hahahahahahaha. Now it’s time to tell you about my dreaming places. I will not tell it all by once, but one by one and I think this time I want to talk about Jordan.

Jordan is a middle-east country. Honestly, I don’t really know why I really want to go there but I am interested to go to Jordan –tidak lain tidak bukan- because of Departures. I think Jordan is the first country which Andre, Scott, and Justin have visited in Departures after Canada, their own country. Princess Kate Middleton William and her family have also lived there for 7 years.

Well, Jordan is just gorgeous. It has Petra, the most awesome building –or maybe not building- in the world. You can see how massive it is, but can you imagine how to build it, in that century? By the way idk in which century it was built hahaha, I’ll find out don’t worry. Seeing and thinking about this building just makes me speechless. It is just… unthinkable hahaha. Jordan also has a wonderful dessert. I have never been in dessert because there is no dessert in Indonesia so it is really interesting to me.
