Plans

My friend, Kania has been very inspiring for me now. She just posted her life plans. And wow that's what I should think of as well especially because I'm turning 20 next year! She's a very nice girl btw. You should follow her blog. She studies architecture in Germany and she's a creative genius.

After reading her post, I thought of my life plans as well.

Oh before I begin, I'm sorry that I haven't posted the Saarland Destination December 2010! Tomorrow I'll go to St Johanner Markt and take some pictures of the Christmas Market. I promise! And I will post it this week before I go to Paris.

So, my life plans. My life is actually unplanned. Seriously. I'm a very spontaneous person. But lately I've been thinking that it's better to have plans. But of course I must be flexible with my plans. If I can't achieve them, hell yes that's a failure but I should never be pessimistic.

So here is my life plan, with condition: I don't die young. And I hope not. But yeah we can't say anything about it. No one knows.

I'll get my bachelor degree in 2013, or 2014. But no more than 2014. But if I still can't achieve it, then of course I'll keep studying until I get my degree. But yeah of course I must study really hard.

After having my degree, I'll work in a hotel or theme park or maybe a zoo or maybe in an airport. And I also take journalistic classes. I'll save money and then after 3 or 4 years working which means I'm about 26 yo, I go back to Indonesia. Not for working, but for travelling. Yes, I'll backpack around Indonesia. My journey begins in Sabang and ends in Merauke. I predict it will take about one year to travel the whole Indonesia. Then, I'll write a book about Indonesia. Or maybe I can submit it to LonelyPlanet or NatGeoTravel or I don't know.

After that I'll write a book again only about my hometown Jakarta. This book will be very detail and consist a list of great street food in Jakarta and insider tipps. And also, about 30% of the book will be about Kepulauan Seribu to promote this region's tourism. By the time I will be about 30 yo.

Then, I'll leave Indonesia and go to Timor Leste and make a book about it. Probably I'll live for a while and work there. I don't know but I always wanna live in Timor Leste.

After gaining success from my books and after a residence for maybe a year in Timor Leste, it's time to leave Indonesian archipelago. And I plan to make a book about countries starting with the letter R. R for Ricky. And there are 4 countries starting with R, surprisingly there are not so many. They are Réunion, Romania, Russia, and Rwanda. Okay although there are just 4 countries starting with R, one of them is Russia. You know that country's huge. Should I perhaps learn Russian?

So, I'll be about 35 yo at that time and it's time to find a settlement. And it'll be in North-, Central-, South America or Carribean. I actually wanna live in a French-speaking country with no reasons at all. Sorry, but I'm not that into living in the US. Quebec sounds like a good idea, I guess Montreal is a modern and beautiful city. And the people speak French there. Or maybe in French Guyana, Guadeloupe or Martinique! Yeah, French Guyana sounds nice too. And then I'll work there in a hotel or I don't know, and live there for more than 10 years. And I'll write books as well about French colonies in America maybe, or about Latin America or Central America or I don't know. And of course I'll organize my own travel blog.

And, I'll be about 45 yo and successful in my career. I'll try my TV career. I'll make my own show so it'll be like Anthony Bourdain. I'll find sponsors and production house for my show! I don't wanna host alone actually, I should find onw or two travelbuddies. I actually like the concept of Thirsty Traveller. But I don't know, of course not Bizarre Food.

What about marriage and family? Hmmm I don't know. My friendship with a Fringe fangirl is better than a marriage, except if she has a jealous husband who hates me. The problem is, all these dreams will be harder to be true if I have kids and wife. Except if my wife loves travelling too! Yeah yeah, maybe I'll get married when I'm like 35 and live in French Guyana and raise one or two kids there. And then after the kids are about 20 years, I'll pursue this dream to have a TV show, which means I'm 55.

Now I actually don't know if I wrote my plans or my dreams. LOL! Both of them I guess.

Okay, stop with long-term plans. Procrastination is totally the biggest problem I have to face. I targeted to post about Christkindl Markt in the first week of December! And now even the advent is almost over! I'm sorry! Lol
