Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Bagaimana Rasanya Tinggal di Desa Kecil Seperti Saleve?

Ya nggak tau makanya gw nanya 😂

Gw udah seminggu lebih nggak keluar rumah kalo nggak belanja, udah mulai bosen banget. Kerja dari rumah sih, tapi yaaa begitulah. Bosen juga ternyata nggak ngeliat dan berinteraksi dengan manusia lainnya.

Kemudian gw liatin foto-foto di folder gw yang masih di HP waktu ke Saleve. Trus mikir, "Gimana ya rasanya tinggal di desa kecil gini?" Ya meskipun desa kecil, akses internet ya udah oke lah. Tapi karena masih yaaaa sabtu minggu nggak ada yang buka si toko-toko ini, bener-bener weekend khusus untuk waktu di rumah bareng keluarga. Gw pernah tau, ini cerita di Jerman begini dulu. Tapi ternyata ya Swiss pun begitu (Mall hari minggu tutup), ternyata Saleve ini juga gitu.

Saleve ini desa kecil yang ada di perbatasan Swiss. Jadi udah masuk Prancis, tapi 30 menit aja naik bus dari Geneve. Desanya terletak di puncak gunung ini. Pohon-pohon hijau yang muterin gunung itu, jalan yang bisa di akses mobil juga.




Jalan menuju puncak, yang mengelilingi gunung.


Sumpah setengah mati gw mendaki gunung ini.

Tangga ini bikin mengumpat ratusan kali. Karena naik dan turun, eh pas turun kepleset. Untung nggak meluncur sampe bawah.

Desa di atas gunung.

Mau social distancing juga gimana? Wong jaraknya udah jauh-jauhan begini, penduduknya juga dikit. Ngumpul aja di warung buat minum coklat anget, teh, disambi makan croissant.


Nggak ada manusia yang keluar di hari minggu. Ya emang dingin sih, cuma kok yaaa masa sih nggak ada yang beli-beli gas kek, sembako kek.


Mobil yang lewat jalan ini bisa dihitung jari. Bener-bener dikit banget. Jalanan cenderung sepi.

Geneve dari Saleve.


Ini jam 3-4 sore.

Tapi yang jelas udaranya ini bersih banget. Oksigen yang masuk ke paru-paru rasanya aduhai sekalian bisa membersihkan organ dalam rupanya. Mungkin... aku akan ingin tinggal di tempat sejenis ini nanti. Waktu mendekati pensiun mungkin 💕

So, I hope you enjoy some pictures here. I am bored being self isolation for more than a week already, so I edited these and post these. Enjoy and stay home! STAY F HOME if it is possible! 💕

  1. Entah mengapa ketika baca artikel ini langsung membayangkan jika aku berada di desa saleve ini. Kira-kira apa ya yang bakal aku lakukan di sana. Mungkin aku bakal sering berjalan kaki, treking naik gunung, dan menikmatinm suasana sepi, pemandangan, dan udara segar perdesaan.

    Aah, bagus sekali xeritanya

Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

Surviving -20 Celcius in Moscow

frozen lake in Moscow I'd say surviving because I am a tropical girl coming from 30-35 degree Celcius. So yes, this is about surviving such differences in temperature. I spent my whole life in a tropical country then I have to be in a -20 celcius, not an easy situation.  Obviously, I came prepared. I have been in a 0 celcius and learned that double triple layering is the right answer. Moscow has heater that runs nonstop since the beginning of (probably, I dont remember) November until early May. So you technically can not turn it off or on. Many days it gets too hot inside. Going to the mall in Moscow got me super sleepy and tired because it feels most of the time like in Sauna. So, double triple layering in Moscow is the right thing to do.  November temperature usually started to feel chilly, still not lower than 0. December will get colder can be minus. But January and February are the coldest season. This year dropped to -20 (that I can remember). The average temperature wa...

Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...
