BEST OF 2016



2016 is ended, now it's time for 2017. Setiap tahun biasanya jadi waktu untuk kita melakukan refleksi, melihat kembali hal-hal yang terjadi sepanjang tahun, dan mengambil pelajaran untuk tahun depan. 

2016 is ended, now it's time for 2017. Each year is usually the time for us to reflect, look back at the things that happen throughout the year, and took lessons for next year.

If 2015 is a great year, I gotta say than 2016 is really really great, it's an awesome year for me! I got plenty great opportunities to visit interesting places and to experience things I've never imagine before, so even though it's really hard to say which one is the best, here are my best of 2016 


SWIMMING WITH WHALE SHARKS



It's definitely one of the best moments in 2016. Kami berenang dan melihat langsung hiu paus di depan mata saat berenang diPantai Botubarani, Gorontalo. Despite the name "whale", this gentle creature is fish, they're actually sharks but get a "whale" name because of the size. Also, don't worry since they only eat planktons, small fishes and shrimps, human is surely not on the menu.

It's definitely one of the best moments in 2016. We swim and see the whale sharks directly in front of the eyes when swimming beach Botubarani, Gorontalo. Despite the name "whale", this gentle creature is fish, they're actually sharks but get a "whale" name because of the size. Also, do not worry since they only eat planktons, small fishes and shrimps, human is surely not on the menu.


One thing to remember, even though they're so gentle and cute, never touch them in purpose, you could harm them and yourself. Respect, and the nature will be kind to us 

PERFECT DAY WITH MANTA RAYS




Ini bukan kali pertama saya berhadapan dengan pari manta, namun di bulan Agustus 2016, kami merasakan hari yang benar-benar sempurna. Siang itu cuaca sangat cerah di Taman Nasional Komodo, Flores, air laut sangat tenang, laut yang jernih, dan lebih dari enam pari manta terus melintas dan berputar-putar di sekitar kami, such an amazing feeling!


This is not the first time I was confronted with manta rays, but in August 2016, we felt that the day is absolutely perfect. That afternoon the weather was very sunny in the Komodo National Park, Flores, sea water was very calm, crystal clear sea, and more than six mantas kept passing and circling around us, such an amazing feeling!
 
AMAZING SKY DIVE


Loncat dari pesawat di ketinggian 3,9 kilometer dan terjun bebas merupakan sensasi yang tidak terlupakan saat saya mencoba sky dive di Auckland, Selandia Baru. Surprisingly, sky dive is not as scary as bungy, I was so calm and relax, even before the jump. After the jump? it's all good feeling! :)


Jump from a plane at an altitude of 3.9 kilometers and a freefall is an unforgettable sensation when I tried to sky dive in Auckland, New Zealand. Surprisingly, the sky dive is not as scary as bungy, I was so calm and relaxed, even before the jump. After the jump? it's all good feeling! :)
 
INTO THE AFRICAN SAFARIS





Got a really nice experience feeling the African Safari on my early 2016. Trip ke Afrika Selatan di tahun 2016 dipenuhi dengan hari-hari berkeliling Kruger National Park, melihat singa tidur siang, gajah melintas dan menikmati sunset indah di tengah safari. Also, my best experience is the cheetah walk on our Zambia visit.

Trip to South Africa in 2016 was filled with days touring at Kruger National Park, saw the lion nap, elephant flashed and enjoy the beautiful sunset in the middle of the safari. Also, my best experience is the cheetah walk on our visit Zambia.
 
MISOOL, AGAIN! -- WILL ALWAYS BE MY BEST EVERY YEAR





No more words can describe, Misool is just breath-taking, take a look for yourself

WINTER WONDERLAND SHIRAKAWA-GO



On 2015 I visit Shirakawa-go during summer, and I remember my words "I'm so gonna visit this place again during winter," and I did on 2016. Shirakawa-go di Gifu,Jepang sangat indah saat musim dingin. Rumah-rumah dengan atap segitiga yang tertutup lapisan salju putih, dan perbukitan yang diselimuti salju, truly a winter wonderland!


On 2015 I visit Shirakawa-go during summer, and I remember my words "I'm so gonna visit this place again during winter," and I did on 2016. Shirakawa-go in Gifu, Japan is very beautiful in winter. Houses with triangular roofs are covered with a layer of white snow, and the hills are covered with snow, truly a winter wonderland!
 
CONTINUOUS JAPAN TRIP






Feels like Japan is always calling on 2016! I went to Japan several times, even plan my own trip with friends and family to Japan. From Nagoya, another Tokyo trip, Miyagi, Kofu. Okinawa until Hokkaido, so many fun experience in Japan!

PERFECT KOMODO SCUBA TRIP






My all time favorite scuba dive spot is Komodo. Ada begitu banyak spot yang indah, menarik dan seru di Komodo. Mulai dari Crystal Rock dan Castle Rock dengan begitu banyak schooling fish dan hiu yang berkeliaran, Shotgun dengan powerful current yang tidak terlupakan, hingga Batu Bolong yang begitu spektakuler. Komodo, I'll come again this 2017, it's a promise!

Starting from Crystal Rock and Castle Rock with so many schooling fish and sharks that roam, Shotgun with a powerful current that is not forgotten, until Batu Bolong is so spectacular. Komodo, I'll come again this 2017, it's a promise!
 
So many best of 2016, I am very grateful. The universe has been so kind, the nature has been so nice and welcoming. I do believe when we cherish things and life, when we fill our mind with positive vibes, good things will come.


Let's start our 2017 with positive feelings, and the best things will come

Best Experience EVER! : SKY DIVE NZ



Tiga puluh menit kami berjejalan di pesawat kecil, naik ke ketinggian 13.000 kaki atau 3,9 kilometer. Saya dapat melihat kehijauan dan laut dari area Parakai yang berjarak 40 menit berkendara dari Auckland, New Zealand. 





Pintu pesawat sudah terbuka dan semua telah memeriksa ulang parasut mereka. Perlahan mereka mulai loncat dari ketinggian 13.000 kaki, bergantian dan langsung tidak terlihat dari dalam pesawat. "Let's go," Billy mengajak saya maju ke ujung pintu. Badan saya terikat dengan harness, punggung saya menempel dengan pengikat ke badan Billy. Kami maju bersamaan, Billy mengangkat kamera di tangannya, kami sudah berada di ujung pintu pesawat. Angin terasa kencang menerpa wajah saya "Let's jump!," saya berada di depan dan detik berikutnya kami meluncur cepat ke bawah, kami jatuh dari pesawat, terjun bebas dari ketinggian 3,9 kilometer! SKY DIVE!



Anehnya, saya merasa sangat tenang. Jika saat bungy jantung saya seperti tertinggal di platform sebelum meloncat, saat sky dive saya merasa sangat tenang. Saya terjun tandem dengan Billy, Sky Dive instructor yang telah puluhan tahun melakukan hal ini, surely makes me calmer, trust is the key.




Pesawat putih semakin menjauh di atas kami, saya merasakan meluncur cepat dan menikmati sensasi free fall sambil melihat sekeliling. Laut, dataran yang hijau dan awan di sekeliling! The feeling is too awesome to describe! Saya merentangkan kedua tangan, flying! and seconds after we're just laughing and make silly faces during sky dive. This is trully an experience you must try at least once in your lifetime!!



Kami meluncur cepat, free fall selama 45 detik sebelum akhirnya parasut terbuka, badan saya tertarik saat parasut melambung dan kemudian kami bermain dengan angin, bermanuver kiri dan kanan sebelum menikmati 8 menit yang sangat tenang saat meluncur dengan parasut terbuka.

Tanpa terasa daratan sudah dekat, saya merapatkan kaki dan bersiap untuk mendarat. Smooth landing and here I go again, on land! Saya melihat Ferry juga mendarat hanya berselisih beberapa detik dari saya, senyum lebar terlihat di wajahnya, we're just too happy.

The concept of falling is not a bad idea at all, Sky Dive is the best "falling" event, where you can put trust and just let it go (read: jump) :)

@marischkaprue - normally diving underwater, but diving up there is also addictive for her
