Let the new journey begin..

Alhamdulillah..

I am so grateful that life has been packed with endless blessings from the Almighty. By the time I wrote this, I was starting the preparation to move back to Indonesia.

Yuup.. after living in Aotearoa for almost 2 years (by the time we move, it will be 2 year and some extra days :)), we are instructed to go back to Indonesia. 

It was a mixed feelings obviously, as we do enjoy our life in Aotearoa New Zealand, but at the same time we believe that it's also a golden opportunity for us to embark on a new journey which hopefully will boost my career path. 

So, long story short, we are preparing our next move back home. After Australia, Switzerland, and New York City, this is the 4th time for us to move internationally. That means, logistics have to be very well prepared. Boxes, boxes, come to Mama haha. Again, between stressful feelings of managing all the logistics, The Frakarsas are super excited to return home.

But I feel so melancholy.. it just felt like yesterday when we started our  new adventures in the Pacific realm, Aotearoa New Zelanad.

I remembered that we got around 11 cm3 items to be shipped to New Zealand (which at later stage, we just realized, it took 3.5 months to reach us). We packed our essentials and most of them contain any of Indonesian items I love so much and will need at later stage. We packed Bapak's MTB as well, although for sure, he plans to get new ones in Aotearoa New Zealand (bravooo, Pak hehe)

We left Indonesia on November 25th, 2021 and went through Christchurch and as the local regulations in Aotearoa New Zealand at that time mandated us to have a short quarantine of 7 days, we have our arrangement in one of the hotels in there. After that, we continued our trip to Wellington and have 2 other days quarantine in there as well.

Fast forward 2 years, we are getting ready to go home. Alhamdulillah luckily, we have visited many places in Aotearoa, New Zealand, be it in North as well as South Island. Auckland, Lake Taupo, Rotoroa, Hamilton, Napier, Northwood,  Picton, Kaikoura, Akaroa, Christchurch, and beyond..Not to mention the amazing views of South Island. I certainly have to share them one by one here.

Alhamdulillah as well, Abang Bo will be back to continue his 13th year and his university days in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Hope all is well as planned ya Bang.

Thank you so much for everything, Aotearoa, New Zealand. You have been wonderful and memorable to us.

Well, wish us luck yaaa. Bismillahirrahmanirrahiiim...

Indonesia, here we come!
