My sweet Eurodream

"Alhamdulillah."

In the beginning of 2011, me and my two best friends created the biggest dream ever. It seemed impossible. Sounded crazy. But we believed that we could make it real. We planned to have Eurotrip on September 1st, 2012.

We planned to travel around Europe within 2 months. When we decided to go, we didn't have enough money to support our trip. You might say that we're crazy. Yes, we were. We were not born in rich family. We couldn't ask our parents for giving us certain amount of money to be spent during our travel. We had nothing but dream.

We dreamt of taking pictures in every country, cities, museums, parks, everywhere we could take. We dreamt every single things about Europe. Here's our route: The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and Germany. Really great countries to take pics, aren't they?

We worked hard, we saved our money. It was amazing that Eurotrip has changed three shop-a-holic girls into money-savers.Hiihihi

But, God loves us more than we could ever think. He made my two friends stopped hurting themselves. Yes, being poor and what we called "HEMAT" really made us crazy. They realized that travel within two months is unaffordable trip for us, even we've already saved-up our money for 1.5 years.

In the middle of sadness, I decided to continue my dream, to travel alone. I changed the plan. I contacted my friends in Europe, in order to ask them to accompany me during my trip. I made new itenerary, I set new story.

Again, God showed me his unbelievable love. It was August 6, 2012. I came to the Netherlands Embassy, I brings all documents required. I passed the first gate, and also another gates. Then I was interviewed by the Visa Officer. I was super nervous. That wasn't my first time being interviewed for visa application. But the feeling was uncontrolled. After that, she told me to come back at 3, for getting the decision.

After waiting for 6 hours, I came back to get my visa with one of my bestfriend, another Eurodreamer. Then, voila..... I had my visa rejected! I was sad, deeply sad, crazily sad. I couldn't described what I felt. I was broken.

But I realized one thing. That wasn't my plan. I never planned to get rejection. I never planned to be super disappointed. Never ever. But, who am I to plan everything???

God is the greatest planner. His plans always better than mine. It was his plan so I was invited for a job interview in 2 hours before I got visa rejection. It was his plan for me to get the job in a week after that rejection. It was his plan so I was offered a big amount of money as my monthly salary! It was his plan so I will start working on Sept 3, 2012. It is one of His greatest plan, that I will work for a bilateral organization between Germany-Indonesia. It is His plan that I will have chances to visit Germany even to study there, paid by my office! Wohooo.. Alhamdulillah. 

His plans are unbelievable, magnificent! I saw God on my rejection day!

I never imagine all of this amazing things before. Never, even for a second of my life. My sweet Eurodream  has turned into a great career journey which will lead me to beautiful places in Europe. Nothing I can say but Alhamdulillah ya Robb..
