Are you a Tourist or Traveler? 

Some of you might have known the differences between tourist and traveler. Tourist tend to go with travel agent, fixed itinerary, having nice transportation, go to famous places or we call it 'touristic place', hunting for souvenirs, barely interact with local, stays only for couple days, join on group with tour guide, etc.

While travelers have flexible itinerary based on their own research, seeking for hidden places, eager to interact with the locals, experiencing new culture, stay longer planning to see as much as they could in the country they visited, often go with low budget, cheapest accomodations, in my opinion. 

I am a traveler type of person, i love to get lost and arrange my own trip, i love moving around to new places and stay for at least one week or more in one place/city/country, eager to seek for hidden places which some of the places are not shown on the map. Either i asked the local or follow the sign.

Like this waterfall i visited. Well it was hell of adventure! I walked for like 1 km on up and down rocky pathway next to cliff, crossing the river, done a little climb yet it was wonderful along the way i got to see a lot of unreachable waterfalls. This is like a hidden gem, only few people go here although you can search it on internet but this kind of place is only for adventorous ones! If i write more detail about this one place, i can write like hundred pages of it because it is so breathaking. 

Here i wanted to share with you guys about my travel journey to this hidden gem in East Java, Indonesia. If you have plan to come here don't hestitate to ask me anything! Kindly check out my instagram for more hidden gems places @echamarditicha, i hope i can give you ideas to travel somewhere. 

Cheers! ❤
