The Lost Amateur Traveler Inside the Beautiful Istanbul

I’ve always been an amateur because I was always hungry for life experiences. I traveled to Turkey last summer. As a young delegate from Indonesia at the international congress didn’t break my spirit to enjoy the journey of a series of unforgettable moments.

Meeting various young people from all over the world, interacting with them and exchanging ideas. Jointly establishing ideas that the world needs a helping hand since youths have a responsibility to create a better world future. Istanbul as a connector between East and West, its diversity, and the thousands of people from all over the world surrounded in it, assured me that the world is not that small.

Many things in the world that we can explore and the differences that exist within is a sign that human beings inside have a similarity, namely “diversity”. And that’s the thing that we should respect each other.
