Fondly Jogja

So here I want to mark a post on my blog about my first solo trip to an unknown country with no one I know to meet while I stay there. My year end expiring leaves have made me think of spending time at home simply doing nothing. I decided I should get out of the house and do something exciting. I think I did more than exciting. I booked my flight tickets to Yogyakarta. I was definitely not worried that I am travelling alone..and was rather looking forward for the trip. I stayed in back packers. Although this is my second back packer stay (first one being in Australia port cambell), this one is solo stay. I stayed at Bhumi hostel, Kotagede. What a wonderful place it was. It took some time to figure out who is the owner, staff and guests. Female dorm room made me totally remember my college days in Bangalore and also few other hostels while I was working in Bangalore. I think I missed that kind of Dorm rooms and bunker beds with corner bed. I liked getting into my corner bunker bed and covering the blanket and just lazing in the afternoon. Bhumi has wonderful garden, just something I always dream to have in my own house. I woke up everyday early in the morning and spent some time wandering in the garden, smelling the leaves. Hostel had a great energy and a vibe of youth. People who were travelling there were adventurous and full of life. I strongly felt each minute of my stay how much energy I have and why it was hiding all the while. Life pushes each one in to some phase and I don't know if it can be reversed.  I want to travel again by myself, this time a bit longer. Lets see, how it will turn out. Although there are some risks travelling alone, as a female solo traveler...then there are many people who are just like us..The spontaneous life with office, work, home, regular meet up with friends..is nice..but is it lively enough?
