One Way Ticket - means no turning back- is based on my reality project.
A project to escape from the hectic city, Jakarta. I chose to escape from my home town, Jakarta to find a better place in order to survive.
I was born and grown up in Jakarta. All of my activities are based in that busy city. I believe that people need to leave the ‘same zone’ in order to increase their life quality and to find self fulfillment. When people stuck at the same zone, then they will never step forward as they never meet the different challenge and difficulties that will give self-enrichment. Jakarta, even hectic and stressful, but still offers entertainment and I stay close to my family.
Comfort zone is not my territory, because I understand that it will only creates the straight graphic life’s line.
My life has to be colorful. Then...I decided to leave Jakarta, and I challenged my self to reside and work in Ubud, Bali.
How long I can survive and stay?... Just wish me luck !
