Sometimes, choosing the region or city to spend your holidays can be easy and can also be hard. Many people surely will experience the different things. But to be honest, many of us are confusing, right?

But, since travelling should be fun even when you just planning on it, I have some easy ways to help you how to define where your next travel destination will be. Those ways won’t be the best you will be know but I think that you still need to know what the insights from other’s people mind.

1. What you have not been doing at the last destination you visited?

Travelling is not always about visiting the new destinations or spots. Many of us won’t be bored just by visiting the same spot all over again. You are even have been doing that all the times. Don’t you lie to me.

Even, by deciding to re-visit the last destination, you can give yourself a chance in thinking about what you have not been done before to experience your holidays or spare time at its best. Trust me, it helps me a lot in enjoying my trip as well as defining the destination as our main topic here.

2. Think about a place that can be a big support for your hobby

Hobby has been popular as a way to enjoy yourself as well as relieve the stress. How can’t this be a great combination when hobby and traveling can be done together? If you are a big fan of fishing, then you have places such as rivers, beaches, ocean, etc. If you think that you won’t to miss an event for the robot enthusiasts, then you know where to go and how much will it cost you, etc.

Think about your hobby and you will know where you can spend your travel moments.

3. As your friends who will be joining in your trip

If you really have no idea where to go, don’t thinking about it too much just by your own. Ask the others especially your close friends in case they will be available to spend and share the same travel with you. Even, when you are travelling with the others that you really care of, destinations won’t be a matter anymore.

4. Start thinking about the travel destinations you will avoid

Most of popular travel destinations in the world will be the worst place to spend the holidays. You should have known about the recent travel season at the destination you are going to visit. Low and high season themselves can be valid internationally, nationally and locally. Make sure that no matter if you are in a high season, as long as it is for local region, I think you have nothing to worry about the destination. but when it comes to the high season for national and international travel calendar, you’d better set yourself to avoid the popular travel spots.

5. Think about what challenges you should give for yourself

Travelling is also the spiritual journey for some people, although, it doesn’t have to make you be in a hermitage. Some of us are spending the trip by enjoying the moment through sunbathing after a quick swimming and some others are choosing to challenge their self.

You can also do the same thing. It doesn’t have to be hiking the most dangerous mountain in the world, even if you can only being in a surf camp that you may have never been learning about how to surf professionally before, surfing can be challenging for the first timers.

Yogyakarta Palace is the last job of all kingdoms that have triumphed in Java. Keraton Jogya was founded by Sultan Hamengku Buwono I and until now there has been an amazing culture. Located in the middle of the city of Yogya where when taking a straight line, the Yogyakarta Palace is located between Mount Merapi and the South Sea.

In 1755, there was a Giyanti agreement, where the kingdom was divided into 2 namely the eastern region (now the Surakarta Palace) and the western region (Yogyakarta Palace). Yogyakarta Palace is very thick with Javanese ethnic cultural heritage.

Lor Square

Alun Alun Lor is the entrance that we will meet after passing the big gate of the Palace. The initial function of the Alun Alun Lor is the place to hand over the schedule of the royal soldiers. At present, Alun Alun Lor is only used as an ordinary garden.

Gede Kauman Mosque

The Gede Kauman Mosque is the Mosque of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta or also called the Gedhe Kauman Mosque, located west of Alun Alun Lor. This mosque was built in 1733 by Sultan Hamengku Buwono I who was rich in Javanese elements. The Gede Kauman Mosque is where Sultan Hamengku Buwono performs all worship rituals. At present, the mosque is still functioned for traditional ceremonies such as the Grebeg and Sekatenan Ceremonies.

The Gregeban ceremony is a prayer for the Gunungan (produce) that is waiting for it to be distributed to the community. One part of the mosque was used to store the place of the gamelan when the Saketanan ceremony was held.

Siti Hinggil Lor

Siti Hinggil Lor is part of the Palace used for the important uparaca of the Keraton Yogya family such as a grand wedding and a throne ceremony.

5 parts of Siti Hinggit Lor:

• Manguntur Tangkil Ward for the Sultan’s seat when there was an official ceremony

Kedhaton

Kedhaton is the residence of the Sultan and the Keraton family. The Sultan occupies the Keraton Kilen while the Gedong Jene section is the place of the Sultan’s office. The Keputren section is for the daughters of the Sultan, the wives, and concubines of the King. The Kesatriyan section is the place for the sons of the King.

Kecono Ward is a place to store valuables of the Kingdom, which on the 1st of Muharram will be moved to the Manis Ward to be cleaned.

Sri Manganti

South Square

In his time, Alun Alun Kidul functioned as an archery training ground by sitting cross-legged and seeing horse riding dexterity. In the middle of the Alun Alun Kidul is often used for Masangin ceremonies. Rituals where people have to walk straight past 2 banyan trees with closed mates and if successful, they are believed to be fulfilled.

If we are going to talk about the travel accommodation, mostly the bedroom itself won’t be specifically discussed. It is understandable because the accommodation will be in a one fixed package that seems can’t be changed as we are required although there are also the other accommodations that are possible for that.

As long as the bedroom are pretty much with nuances as you will interested in and the bed and the space are pretty much wider enough, most of us won’t wish more than that. But actually, realised it or not, we are taking it as so important. We just think think about it shortly so the bedroom won’t be the main priority when we are reserving the accommodation.

In the other hands, bedroom is also vital in how you are feeling enjoy or the opposite when you are in a trip. It will be an answer on the quality of your rest or sleep while you are away from home. Spending time on holidays is good, but when you are struggling to take a rest and feels like rubbish when you are waking up, don’t blame the alcohol you have been drinking the night before because it might be caused by the bedroom you have been reserving as well.

To know more about how important the bedroom is in helping you to feel comfort or another way, I have listed some of the things that can make your rest be more qualified or worst. Here they are:

The bed organisation first rule; the farther from the bathroom or toilet the better

No matter how small or big the hotel or any kind of accommodations are, you will be surprised by the placement of its bed. Sometimes, many of us will be find that its bed is put right to the wall that separate the toilet and where you are laying your head after a day of traveling around.

Here are the things. Toilet is where the dirty things exist no matter how clean it is seen. The closer it is to your bed, the worst. Mostly, it is also a main room source for the smelly things that can make your resting being disturbed. Therefore, when you are choosing the accommodation, beware that the bed placement as far as it needs.

The view out of your window’s bedroom

Beautiful view is always the good thing to see in a trip. Even, many expensive accommodations are caused by the special beautiful view you can see right out the window. But, not all of them will be expensive just because of that.

The beautiful view that your eyes can witness right from your bedroom can also be the thing that can help the quality of your sleep and can refresh your mind before and after the sleep. Many of us are also getting our breakfast at where we are living while traveling or drinking a cup of coffee in evening, what if you are experiencing them all through your bedroom with beautiful scene?

The smaller the bedroom is, the stress you are in it

The smaller the bedroom is, the less things you can do inside. Even, just by walking here and there can be stressful since you may are crashing part of the bed corners especially when the front part of your bed will be a table and a tv on the wall. That will really troublesome no matter if you are in a rush to go somewhere or just doing some activities for an hour in your accommodation.

Traveling means to refresh your body and mind and I think that the smaller bedroom can ruin all of that.

Mostly, bedroom with windows is always better

Looking out the windows while breathing in the fresh air is good as the mood booster in your travel and can be the best way to view the scene. It is sometime stressful where the windows can’t be opened, so make sure that the travel accommodation you are reserving is possible to open up and close its bedroom’s windows.

It will even more better if you are possible to have a bedroom with balcony so you will have more spot for spending the slow holidays while you are in a hotel room.

What else do you think that will make your stay be more enjoyable inside the bedroom of your accommodation?

By the times, every new things will become more popular or forgotten. If you are the travel enthusiast or even considering to call yourself as a true traveller, you must have been known or at least heard about the surf camp holidays before, right?

I am sure that there will be many of us will say that surfing is interesting, but actually how many of us that truly planning and start experiencing it?

Travelling to bring out the better version of yourself

Some travelers travel for fun and some others with the real purpose such as finding out their goal in life, experiencing new things directly, and many other things. Meaningful travel will give you meaningful impact as well. Here is why meaningful travel can change you to the better:

• During your visit to new places, you meet new people who are different from people you meet daily at home. You encounter people with different personalities. They also embrace different cultures and beliefs. Thus, they act differently from you do. Eventually, you will find yourself adapting to new environment. During adapting process, you learn how o tolerate people who have different views. You also learn how to accept differences without making any confrontation or forcing your own beliefs.
• Travelling also means you face everything by yourself especially when you solo travel. You face many hassles and obstacles throughout your trip. You don’t have anyone you know to help you solve the problems except yourself. Thus, it makes you think harder to find the best solution for every problems. It teaches you how to be independent and sharpen your problem-solving skills. Travelling by any means can help you growing up. It is not necessarily that you will lose the fun you after travelling a lot. It just means you will grow up eventually and you will have better understanding of how life works because you faced many things already during your frequent travel.
• Travelling also teaches you to be more organized because you need to deal with many things and manage various things started from managing your travel budget, how to pack efficiently, how to set your schedule right, etc. you learn how to organize things naturally throughout the journey. When you become experienced traveler, you have no problem with arranging the trip, organizing things, or managing your finance. And those can be applied in your daily basis.
• Travelling also can change your mindset. If you were used to be stubborn and prideful, you will change the more you travel. You see, tolerance and patience are lessons you can learn through travelling. The way you see things will be wider because you do it with your open mind. When you travel a lot, you won’t lose patience easily by small things. It also makes you unashamed to say sorry or thank you to people when necessary.
