Corporate slave who loves to travel for pleasure.

And here's the third part of my New York trip. Hari ke-4 di New York which is hari Rabu, keluar apartment agak siangan, and thank God cuaca cerah walau suhu masih di bawa 10 derajat. Hari ini udah ada janji dengan local photographer yg sudah gue booking melalui Sweet Escape. What is Sweet Escape? Itu semacam platform untuk menghubungkan kita yang mau menyewa photographer di mana saja di seluruh dunia. Aplikasinya bisa download  di smartphone kita dan kita tinggal milih aja mau ke kota mana saja di seluruh dunia. Nanti kita tinggal milih mau photo session kapan dan jam berapa, dan setelah kita melakukan payment, mereka akan assign photographer untuk kita. It was that easy. Jadi sebelum berangkat gue udah booking untuk tanggal 4 April 2018, jam 12 sampai jam 2 siang.

Jam 10 udah nyampe sana karena ada Shake ...

Oia gue mau cerita dulu tentang apartment yg gue rent through AirBnb. Gue sewa private room di sebuah apartment di daerah Manhattan yg super cool banget view-nya. Dulu begitu Visa approved, selain cari tiket gue juga mulai cari penginapan. Why AirBnB? Well, New York City itu kan terdiri terdiri dari 5 boroughs. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island. Yang paling gemerlap, banyak skyscrapers, dan paling fancy tentunya Manhattan. Harga hotel per malam? Untuk kamar yg cuma seuprit seukuran nggak lebih dari hotel bintang 3 di Jakarta itu kisaran 3jt/mal...

New York City Actually this is not my first travel story, tapi baru ini akhirnya bikin blog karena temen-temen suka pada komen suruh bikin blog, supaya dokumentasi nggak sekedar di Instagram aja hahaha. Jadi bakal ada cerita alur maju mundut about where I've been to. Hehehe.. I've done this trip to New York on April 2018, but here's the story. It was definitely my first solo travel ever. To the place that I always wanted to visit since I was a kid. Biasanya traveling bareng temen, tapi karena I couldn't wait any longer for a dream to be done, so I decided to go alone, because I knew it's gonna be worth it. I still remember the feeling very clearly that I could sit the whole day on the bench in the corner of the Central Park in front of the apartment that I rent through AirBnb thinking about how it feels to finally made it to the US, especially New York, the place that I’ve always wanted to visit since I was a kid. It still feels like a dream tha...
