Camping Ceria: Hujan Kabut Ranca Upas

Sebetulnya saya masih punya PR menulis cerita pengalaman camping di Pasir Reungit untuk melanjutkan cerita perjalanan ke Kawah Ratu sekitar empat bulan silam. Tapi mumpung masih hangat, kali ini saya ingin langsung menulis pengalaman camping lusa lalu ke Ranca Upas, bumi perkemahan di daerah Ciwidey, Kabupaten Bandung. Rencana berkemah ini sudah saya cetuskan sebulan yang lalu, setelah menahan diri untuk tetap di rumah sampai menunggu kelar vaksin kedua di pertengahan bulan September. Awalnya kami berencana kemah di Gunung Kencana, yang lokasinya satu kawasan dengan Telaga Saat dan Telaga Warna di Cisarua Bogor. Sekitar seminggu sebelum berangkat kami dapat info kalau trek ke sana biasa saja. Lalu entah kenapa saat itu saya langsung teringat dengan Ranca Upas.

Endless Story #4 It's just a place for sleeping

Your cheap flight ticket is on your hands now. I said cheap because we usually book the flight months before the trip. The next thing to do is planning your trip. Sometimes, creating itinerary is so much fun that you'll be more excited even before going to your destination trip. Thus booking your lodging is one of the trip plan. 

Endless Story #3 Eat Local and Like a Local

I'm not really into culinary when traveling because of the budget. The higher the cost of living of a country, the more I will try to tighten the budget by cooking our meals. But occasionally I try some local foods to satisfy my curiosity.  

Endless Story #2 Capturing the Time

I started to love exploring places when joining URAL, an extracurricular activity in my senior high school focusing on nature and environmentalist. As time goes by, I love taking photos of places I visited as well. At first, it is just to record the detail of the trip. Taking photo is much easier and quicker than writing down the information we get while we explored.

Endless Story #1 Everything Starts From the Airport

Airport, terminal and train station will be the starting line before we travel. Maybe they are just stopover places and we don’t take photos of them. For example, KLIA Kuala Lumpur International Airport, I’ve been there many times as a stopover before continuing to other destination countries (I am Air Asia cheap flight hunter). There is no special feeling for this place other than as a stopover.
