Greeting Everyone... How are you today? I hope you all are good and ok.
I have said several times that I am a cat person. I do not like going out and have fun traveling to different places. However it does not mean I never travel out.
If we talk about travel, in term of wording, it is an activity moving from one place to another, however what we talk here is not that. Travel in term of explore new place or taking a leisure in some area. Many people love to do that, we call it as healing too, when we come to a certain area for having a good time, resting and get some leisure.
One of the good thing we need from it is to have some time stepping out from our daily routines. By doing so, we hope our mind can get some rest, can clear some cloud in our head, and maybe help us seeing the world in some new ways.
Travel can be about adventure, relaxation, discovery, or connection. It helps us grow by challenging our comfort zones and introducing us to different ways of life. From tasting unfamiliar foods to meeting people from diverse backgrounds, travel enriches our understanding of the world.
Recently I traveled to a beach, not far from my home. It was in the end of last year, in some well known resort area that recently developed. I like the beach, not the sea or any water sport that have around there.
Just love the beach, walking around there, seeing sun rise and sun set...
I have been there for several weeks. It was not like I took a leave then have fun on that beach, it was a work I took and I only need to walk for a few minutes to get to that beach. Well I could drive for shorter time, however the parking cost was ridiculous there, so I was avoiding using any car that time.
There were plenty of job site, a vocab I used to describe a construction project, whether it is a building, house, shop house or anything. The beach is still being developed, they are expanding and keep acquiring nearby lands to turn it into a vast white sand area. Yes that sand is set by human, not naturally been there.
So whenever I got some free time, earlier morning before the work started, or maybe at noon after lunch, I often took some walk to that beach to soothe my mind. I liked the strong breeze of the wind, it gave different feel than normal wind in urban area.
The sound of waves were great, but too bad they were not loud due to the beach had no pier or big coral stones. The heat was strong, so I needed to use sunblock everyday, else within the first couple hour I would already get some sunburnt. I knew this because I got them from the first day lol.
As I said some good stuffs before, but not everything were good, so this was a very good spot but not the best or far from perfect. When you worked and visited the beach in the same day, I needed to prepare some cloth for change, different shoe, and some small stuff such as the sunblock and some small towels.
Maybe for girls or women those stuffs are common, but not for me who usually being casual and simple. From having my hands free, then having myself holding some small bag. And I needed to change cloth and shoe everyday, else the sand could ruin my working attire.
How's the food there? I am a foodie anyway, from taste wise they are great however that beach is a resort area. They even have turned a Starbuck into a luxurious coffee shop so they can sell at higher price. The drink and the food are still the same, but everything are being sold at higher price, more than 30%.
I did not dine there a lot, only a couple time in the first week then I learnt my lesson. Never try to eat daily in a resort area, your wallet will die for sure. For a stingy frugal person like me, that's a big no.
Ok that's for today, grab your sunscreen and sunglasses... The beach is calling you lol
Thank you for coming and reading my post. I live in Jakarta, Ex-Capital City of Indonesia. Currently I am running a small business with less than 10 people. I used to live by making money online, that's why I like being here, on HIVE, and in #PIMP - (Paper In My Pocket) community.
