Jurnal satubumikita #5 : Secarik kisah, Perjalanan di Gunung Papandayan

Pemandangan serta panorama alam yang indah serta menakjubkan, mungkin menjadi sebuah hal yang jarang kita rasakan, nikmati dan lihat secara langsung. Apalagi bagi orang-orang yang tinggal dan "terjebak" dalam rutinitas perkotaan yang padat dan kadang menjemukan. Asap polusi ditambah kebisingan kota menjadi sebuah konsekuensi bagi kita sebagai warga kota. Salah satu cara me-refresh dan penetral pikiran dan jiwa dari berbagai rutinitas perkotaan, yaitu dengan bercengkrama dan berbaur langsung dengan alam bebas, salah satu kegiatannya yang populer yaitu Hiking/trekking atau mendaki gunung.

Backpacking & Backpacker

Doc : satubumikita

Backpacking is a term that has historically been used to denote a form of low-cost, independent international travel. Terms such as independent travel and budget travel are often used. The factors that traditionally differentiate backpacking from other forms of tourism include the use of a backpack or other luggage that is easily carried for long distances or long periods of time; the utilization of public transport as a means of travel; a preference for inexpensive lodging such as youth hostels; a longer duration to the trip when compared with conventional vacations; and an interest in meeting the locals as well as seeing the sights. It is typically associated with young adults, who generally have fewer obligations and thus more time to travel. They also have less money to spend on hotels or private vehicles.
