”A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
Lao Tzu
Experience is by far the most essential for a lifelong learning. We learn through books and it enriches our perception towards reality. Using knowledge in a real setting and experiencing the knowledge learned from books is also essential.
As a student, I have this mindset that learning only happens in the four corners of the classroom. On this day I will deviate from my personal point of view. I will travel overseas to learn and imbibe new ideas through experiences.
August 17, 2019, early in the morning I packed my things to begin my journey. I went to the Francisco Bangoy International Airport to travel to Indonesia as being part of the SEAMEO- Sea-teacher journey. I traveled from Davao to Manila, Philippines. From Manila, the Philippines going to Jakarta, Indonesia. Around 12 midnight, I and my colleague arrived in Jakarta. We had to wait for five hours for our next flight to Palu, Central Sulawesi.
Around 5:30 we left from Jakarta International Airport to Palu, Central Sulawesi. We had a short transit at Makassar Airport before arriving to pur destination. Approximately 11:30 we finally arrived at Palu, Mutiara Airport.
Adventure awaits for us in Palu City, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. New experiences mean new learnings and new learnings means better understandings. What is important is to keep learning and sharing the knowledge that you acquired.
