Some places don’t just give you books, they give you perspective.

Today, I visited the National Library of Indonesia (Perpustakaan Nasional), located in the heart of Central Jakarta. It’s more than a library, it’s a symbol of how seriously a nation values knowledge, access, and learning.

As a student, standing inside this building made me reflect. When a country invests in spaces like this, it’s investing in future thinkers, leaders, and dreamers.
Education becomes public, open, and powerful.

Sometimes, inspiration doesn’t come from loud moments, it comes from quiet floors, open books, and wide views of the world.

A village that has stood for centuries… and still teaches leadership today.

Today, I finally visited Huta Siallagan, one of the most unique traditional villages in Sumatera, located on Samosir Island, Lake Toba. A place I had dreamed of seeing since the day I arrived in Indonesia, and today, that desire became reality.

Standing in front of these traditional Batak houses and the famous stone chairs where kings once gathered to make decisions, judge disputes, and protect their people, I felt deeply moved.

This village is not just old (±500 years) it is alive with history, wisdom, and lessons about leadership, justice, and responsibility.

As an international student who is passionate about leadership, this place reminded me that leadership is not about titles or power, but about accountability, service, and the courage to make fair decisions. Long before modern systems, communities like this had structure, values, and order.

Coming from Guinea to Indonesia, crossing oceans, roads, and ferries to reach this place, I found myself very thoughtful along the journey.

Life is truly amazing.

Sometimes, you leave your home for education… and along the way, you discover history, culture, and perspectives that shape who you are becoming.

This visit confirmed something important for me: traveling, studying abroad, and exploring cultures doesn’t just change where you go. It changes how you see the world and yourself.

I’m grateful to witness this, and I know this is only the beginning. More places, more lessons, more growth to come in shaa Allah.

If you ever get the chance to visit Huta Siallagan, go with an open heart. You might leave with more than just pictures.

What places have changed the way you think about life or leadership?

Somewhere in the world, in the middle of two great seas…

Today, I found myself crossing the Sunda Strait ", the narrow passage that quietly connects the Indian Ocean" and " Java Sea ", linking the islands of Java and Sumatera. As the boat moved forward, I felt something deeper, almost like life itself was giving me a moment to pause.

There’s something special about being between two places… two islands… two worlds.

Studying abroad is not just about classes, assignments, or degrees.
It’s about moments like this…
It reminds me that life is often lived in the in-between, between where we come from and where we are going, between our fears and our dreams, between who we were and who we are becoming.

As the waves crashed gently and the wind brushed my face, I realized how powerful transitions are. We don’t always notice them, but they shape us.

Crossing from Java to Sumatera, I looked around and thought:
We leave home searching for opportunities, knowledge, and growth…
But along the way, we also find courage, independence, humility, and a new version of ourselves we never knew before.

Just like this strait connects two different seas, studying abroad connects two sides of our lives:
the person we were before we left, and the person we are becoming through every challenge, every culture shock, every success, and every beautiful moment like this.
When you decide to study abroad, you don’t just cross borders, you cross limits you once thought you had.
And the truth is… the world teaches you things that no classroom ever can.
You learn to adapt.
You learn to be grateful.
You learn to dream bigger.
And you learn that there is so much more out there waiting for you.

So if you’ve ever wondered what studying abroad feels like…
Sometimes, it feels exactly like this, standing between two oceans, realizing that life is bigger than fear, bigger than doubt, and full of possibilities you haven’t met yet.

And standing there, I felt grateful, grateful for the journey, for growth, for the courage to move, explore, learn, and see the world with my own eyes.

Life is not only about the destinations we reach…
It’s also about the moments when we are simply crossing, learning, reflecting, and becoming stronger.

If you’ve ever had a moment that made you stop and think about your path, then you know exactly what this feels like.

Proud and Grateful Moment

I’m truly humbled to share that I was honored as one of the winners of the ADIYC Trekker’s Challenge, representing Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang UMM at the Ahmad Dahlan International Youth Seminar 2025 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩.

I received the Best Use of Data_ Rank 1 award, recognizing exceptional adventurous spirit, resilience, and navigation skills.

This experience reminded me that growth begins the moment we step out of our comfort zone and dare to explore the unknown. Every challenge carries a lesson, and this one has filled me with gratitude, courage, and renewed purpose.

To everyone chasing their dreams, keep going, stay curious, and never stop learning.

Let’s keep learning, growing, and inspiring, together.

What’s one challenge that helped you grow recently? Share below!

✈️ STOP SCROLLING! Before you give up on your dream of studying abroad… read this.

Every year, thousands of young dreamers give up on their study abroad goals not because they aren’t smart enough, but because of online fraud, misinformation, and the high cost of fake “agencies.”

According to UNESCO (2024), digital education is one of the strongest tools to reduce global inequalities.
Yet, millions of young people still struggle to access reliable and high-quality information that could change their future.

That’s exactly why I started sharing real, proven, and trustworthy scholarship opportunities to demystify the myths around studying abroad and help ambitious youth reach their goals without falling into scams.

With my little knowledge, experience, and passion for education, I want to be part of the solution to make sure every young person, no matter where they come from, can dream big and access the right information. 🌍

👉 If you believe in equal access to education and want to protect others from misinformation,
please share this post and invite your friends to follow this channel.

Together, we can spread truth, empower more students, and make quality education for all a reality. 🙌

🌍 Being an international student isn’t just about chasing your dreams, it’s about carrying your country with you wherever you go. 🇬🇳

It’s not only about me, but about where I come from and the values I bring. Every move I make sends a message to people around me "maybe this is how the people of his country behave"

That’s why I believe being an international student means being an ambassador of your country in every moment. Don’t try to be perfect, just be sincere, respectful, and true in everything you do.

What’s one value from your country that you proudly carry wherever you go?

😂 Language learning surprise!

When I first started learning Bahasa Indonesia, I found out that “tiga” means “3.”
I literally burst out laughing because in my mother tongue, Fulani, “tiga” means “peanuts!”🥜

So imagine me counting like: one… two… "peanuts?! 😄

Languages are really something—one sound can travel the world and change meaning completely.

👉 Have you ever discovered a word in another language that sounds the same in your language but means something totally different?

Drop it in the comments, let’s share together! 🌍
