Syfia, being from Nepal and of similar age, I could relate to many things you say. Being ambitious, trying to follow your dreams as an Asian woman, not wanting to marry in early twenties...and not being born with silver spoon yet wanting to follow your dreams. Had a dream of traveling too, I could travel to 15countries so far. I wanna know more about your journey, about conflicts hardships you had, discussion with your family,society for not following the culture. And staying with a boyfriend perhaps could be a big move for you. What was the journey like? How you got strength, courage to follow your heart always? Lots of love. 💖
when you say you can't connect to the hometown you lived in and indonesia as a whole. I can feel that 🥺, finally there is someone else that I can empathize with. thank you for being honest
Im from the dominican Republic 🇩🇴 very far from indonesia im starting to fall in love with the people and the country ♥ maybe a Indonesian 😁 Very good and educated people.
Thank you for sharing your story of how your travelling began. You're a true trail blazer. Much courage and hard work behind you. Breaking free from the expected path of an Indonesian women. Your family must be very proud of you indeed. I travelled for 10 years working as a teacher in SE ASIA. Life changing stuff. Beautiful and not so too. I made some big mistakes and unwise choices but I did find the Path thanks to meeting a Buddhist Monk. Forgive my ramblings... As I mentioned in a comment earlier. Your videos and you are inspiring. Your sincerity, genuineness and friendliness shine brightly for us all to see. Anyway. Be well and long may your videos continue. I'm a new fan. 🙏🌹
Always love how you narrate your story and your vocabs were simple so it's easy to understand to many.. Hard to believe your from Indonesia by your accent anyway... Thanks for keep on inspiring... From 🇲🇾
"You can't pour from an empty cup" as they said.. Love your calm and composed energy, Syifa.. and don't feel the obligation to explain every details of your private life People who love you will love you anyway and vise versa Warm greetings from Bali😘
Hi Shifa, I love your adventurous spirit, liberty, and an open mind. I am a fellow female Indonesian travel too (been to 52 countries mostly solo) I don't fit with some of the Indonesian values but I respect how people think differently. I would always call Indonesia home though no matter how long I live abroad or spend my time abroad coz the street food fits me the best and always longing for the friendliness and warmth of my fellow Indonesia 😘😘
Hello Syifa. I'm watching you from Serbia, and I want to thank you so, so much for the link to the PDF of the book that inspired you to start your journey. Getting this book is pretty impossible in my country, and I've been wanting to read it for so long. You made my week! This is the first time I have ever left a comment below someone's video, maybe this can tell how much your video meant! Thank you!
Oh Jovana, thank you so much! I am currently in Serbia creating a new travel series. So so glad that you can have access to this book. I know how it feels not to have access to many things. Wish you all the best!
Hi syifa.. I can't make Payment in paypal..it coming as your recipient not receiving at the moment. However I'm watching the adds without skipping.. We need more videos. What you are doing is really awesome...
We are almost the same age, what you have achieved will inspire millions... Whenever I miss things that I like most about my country, i watch your videos.
I love how you planned from the beginning to be more sustainable by going to SE Asian countries and slowly build up your brand and channel first. Subscribed! :)
Very nice to hear story and experiences traveling. I’m sure it’s a terrific opportunity for viewers to get to know you better. I think it’s great that you’re following your passion and living life on your own terms. Looking forward to the next episode 🙌💯😎👍
“...listening travel stories from first-hand travelers themselves it humanizes the story and it sort of gives the emphasis as to how common people like me and you able to do this kind of travel...” Hi Syifa, thank you for humanizing that to us-women who come from similar background as you. Wish you a greater journey ahead😊
I wish i had listened to this story few years back. So inspiring. Now i am married and have a lot do. Inspired because your interest and thinkings are so similar to mine. I couldnt persue... I hope you do well. Much love ❣️❣️❣️
Hi Syifa its really interesting what you said. You're right about following your instincts. Sometimes in our life even though we are young we are constantly thinking about what we want to do. You never know until you try it. Success can only happen if you make an effort, even if you dont know what the outcome will be. Thank you, I admire you and enjoy watching your videos ☺️
I don't know how I came across to this channel. Upon hearing all of your thoughts, it reflected to same goals/ dreams that I wanted to attain. It's also my dream when I was younger. Still grinding here in EU though. Coming from a fellow SEA country Ph🇵🇭, this inspires me. I hope I'll be able to execute my goals in the future too.😊
As a South-East Asian myself, it really is very difficult to travel alone or even travel at all. It's not just that our passports are weak, it's also that our families are very protective of us. The idea of us traveling alone is so strange for our elders. It's also pretty difficult considering that when we do a lot of research, a lot of the info is usually catered to Westerners and et cetera. Idk man, just a lot of things holding us down. This is why I have so much respect for you, Syifa. You inspire me so much. I've always wanted to travel alone, and I never thought I could *actually* do that until I started watching your videos. Much love from the PH ❤
Travelling alone, especially as a woman, is marketed as this awesome, hip, cool, empowering and progressive thing to just jump onto doing. But, the glitz and glamour isn't the reality; it comes with risks to this day and any honest woman will tell you that. There's a reason why your elders are protective of you, as they should be. If you look at the stats of the kinds of dangers single lone female travellers fall into, they remain distinct from that of their male counterparts. There's simply no getting around that problem in the real world. So, it's wiser to travel in a group of friends, with your family, or with a husband. Try one of those options, and maybe you can still experience the wonders of various parts of the world.
Listen to TheGreenPillCoach7. I'd like to say that your parents and family are correct. They are smarter than you and much more wiser than these stupid influencers online. They mislead you.
Awesome video, very interesting. You only live once so live your dreams. It wasn’t until I was 50 when I realised I was wasting my life. But it is never to late. Love your videos - keep it up!
I do admire you and your travels. am from Serbia, living in Australia. But I did spend 8 years living in Indonesia. I have made road trips across Russia, Africa, Asia. I plan next year to make a road trip across Pamir mountains. Good luck Syifa and safe driving!
I live in central java, i'm javanese-muslim-indonesian female, but i feel free to get what i want, to give my expression, to get my adventure n my education.😁😁😁 Fyi, java culture is most stritch etnic in indonesia... but most gently people😁😁
Especially Sunda culture. They don't let their children go far, even if they can it's only around their hometown. They said "it's too dangerous blah blah blah". I know they are worry but i think it's too much. Sometimes, i salute people from out of Province like you, batak, padangese, they are brave to go far and seek adventure
Hi Syifa, I have been a solo traveler as well between 2017 and 2019 and I feel so inspired by your words. I really admire you for leaving your country so courageously starting from scratch in another place. Consider myself a big fan of yours⭐❤️ greetings and love from Italy ✨🤍🙏
As a female, a mother from Sri Lanka, a country that is so possessive on the culture, would like to give best wishes on your career. Your videos of Sri Lanka have emphasized on true facts - pleasant and unpleasant moments. Good job and good luck.
Hi Adriana, I m Thai, you look so well in English likes native speaker. I feel enjoy with your journey. First time When I watched your VDO made me wow! Cleared and easy for your traveling and descriptions. However I would like Thanks a-lot for off shore stories.
thanks for sharing your experience, that I believe many of us Indonesian women can relate to. I have to say I'm one of the lucky ones, that I finally have my freedom and space to actually be myself instead of following certain rules and expectations from our culture that was just not important to me. I'm sure it's not easy for many others who may feel the same. Which is why sharing your story is so important. I'm so glad to come across your channel! 💞
You have interesting stories. Being an expat its doesn't mean we hate our original culture, but to improve the quality of life. I left my country since 2000, but I still keep my heritage, I am not losing my identity.
Thanks Indra! Since I live on the road, I am much more neutral with any kind of Indonesian heritage. To me, human being is all the same, identity shouldnt be stuck into one definition the rest of our lives. Life is so dynamic and human being will keep evolving. 🙂
you are doing well Syifa - at 66, I cannot do most of the travels but managed to see many parts of the world except Central and South America - please continue your travels and share your experiences - your vlogs have a more humane face to them - people, places, culture, and customs that you cover well. The only additional thing I request is that t=you ask people you come across how happy they are and why they are happy - be Happy yourself
Your story is so relatable to every girl in non-western countries around the world, no matter their culture, religion or background they also have this kind of feeling with the whole responsibility of their family, like financially or even future generations, etc. You're so brave and inspiring, breaking that stereotype and everything, keep doing what you're doing, not so many female travelers like you these days especially from Asia, because it's different not like some kind of glamourous instagram travel influencer or youtuber but a bit more like Vice or NatGeo kinda vibe. Looking forward for more of your story kak.
These women like Syifa Adriana are influenced by toxic Western ideologies. And these Western ideas have spreading throughout Asia in rapid movement because of internet. Don't listen to them as they will not guide you on the straight path.
Thanks for sharing insightful videos. Your mindset, sense of values and courage are truely impressive. Looking forward to watching new travel stories. Wish you all the best!
This is an older video, but I am so happy I found it. I'm American, and I absolutely adored your story! This is such a calming video with the music as well :)
I could watch hours and hours of your travel vlogs , certainly I get to learn many things from your travel stories. You are such a pure soul , beautiful inside and out. You really inspire me and make me just go out and travel . I hope you succeed and achieve your goals 😊. Stay safe .Your well wisher😁
You are awesome Syifa! Bold, beautiful, and what's more, someone with a lot of grit! It isn't easy to be as calm as you in the face of uncertainty, however exciting that may seem for a while! But with a hustler attitude like yours, possibilities open up from nowhere!! So go on, explore the world, pretty woman!! ❤❤❤
From Australia. Many thanks & congratulations for sharing insightful travels on You-tube. I am now 70 years old & traveled on many of your journey's before the age of the internet & technology & before couch-surfing etc. Makes me feel like doing it again. Your courage and convictions are exemplary.
As the eldest daughter in the house, I always had this feeling of responsibility towards my family and whenever I tried to choose my dreams and intuitions over the household responsibilities, I always felt like I was being selfish. Thank you Syifa, this video made me realize that I'm not the only one.
Amritaa I think Adrina is a very selfish girl to have left her parents and shrugged her responsibility towards her parents and done what she wants. We have a duty towards our parents. Would you be where you are without the love and sacrifices of your parents. If our parents were selfish we would have grown up in foster homes. Shame on woman like her!
@@rudaabehisfahani1968 it's funny because her parents told her to shut her dream, to have less ambition than men, instead of encouraging her to be whoever she want to be they put her down, and here you are saying things like she has a duty to her parents? She is a grown up and she can choose whatever she wants! It is her life.
That was a really touching story. Very brave of you to come out of your culture, follow your heart, and do what you wanted to do. Look forward to the next installment!
Hey syifa, I'm also Indonesian, I used to watch your video, especially when u were in China, it was a long long time ago go hahah. This video is in my recommendation just now, I remember you wear hijab, so I scroll down and you are the same person It's okay, u are beautiful both ways😍 Edit : Follow your dreams, I hope you find happiness in life
i hear lots of american and british accent from you so i thought maybe you were an indonesian but live for so long abroad, but hear your story i faced the fact that your are indonesian and live abroad on your own for past few years. you earn my respect so much, so much that i hit the subscribe button, like immedieatly. btw this is my first time in 4 year to hit the bell notification button too, looking forward for another videos from you. love from Nusa Tenggara Timur
Hey Syifa Adriana! I'm everyday watching your videos your are a brave lady person 💖💖🇳🇵too much love from my soul be safe, stay healthy, saty safe , love from Kathmandu Nepal 💖💖✌️🙏
Syifa, I have been in Indonesia many times and traveled to many cities with my Indonesian girlfriend I had that time. I understand your frustration as a progressive woman. Wish you all the best in your feature plans .
Halo, kak! Your story is so inspiring. I relate to a lot of your story growing up and struggling with disconnection.. glad this video somehow managed to find me :) kak you're so brave and smart. Keep doing you!
Mbak Syifa, Senang sekali lihat progress mbak Syifa . Semoga impianmu , keinginamu semua berjalan dengan baik dan penuh kebahagiaan. Banyak tempat yg Syifa kunjungi adalah keinginkan ku untuk berkunjung juga. Melihat Videomu membuat rasa curious ku sebagaian terjawab. Maybe next time Bhutan, Tibet, Mongolia, ladakh. Stay Safe and Be happy always. Salam dari Kanada 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing a nice story Syifa. Most of the things you said is totally true and so relatable with mine and surely for many of Indonesian women I guess. Spend more money for ourselves, for travelling, shouldn't be a guilty pleasure just because of we have a family to support. I wish that every single woman can do more travelling before they get married to see how beautiful the world is out there. Good Job Syifa😊😊😊👍👍 Stay safe and healty! note: I promise to not skipping the ads to support you for making more incredible videos😊😁
Walau jarang komen aku slalu sempatkan waktu untuk menonton videomu kak,sambil rebahan bisa jalan jalan😂,ku doakan sehat slalu dimana pun kakak berada 😊
Hallo Syifa Listening you is very inspiring I really appreciate your way of connecting toward other foreigner people trying to know the essence of the Local culture It s something that happens to me on my travels I would like to emphasize your elegance explaining this extremely important topic for every curious traveller Greetings from Pisa Ciao
Interesting story. I listened to it from the beginning to the end. I felt so day because I couldn't meet you in Sri Lanka when you visited here, though I live here. All the best to your travel journey. Hope to meet you in my beautiful country in the future.
Hi kak Syifa! Terima kasih ya sudah buat video ini. Very inspirational. Aku jadi sadar untuk tetep yakin sama diri sendiri, dengerin kata hati sendiri & berusaha untuk kejar yang aku mau walaupun kadang banyak orang yang gak bisa ngerti.
You've come a long way Syifa. I'm so happy for you. I remember those days when you used to have 10k subscribers and it will continue growing. Stay healthy and wish you all the very best. 😄😄
I am a big fan of you now, keep going. as a foreigner that I have been living in Indonesia since 2015 I know-how is hard to survive with the new environment. but I am so thankful for the Indonesian peoples, they are so hospitable and kind nation.
Thank you Syifa for explaining why you left Indonesia. As a globe-trotter I can understand that. At the same time, many Nepalese and lovers of Nepal would like to learn why you decided to "stay" in Nepal. From your previous videos, I can have an inkling of why you may like to. But coming from you, it would be clearer. Thanks.
Hello Syifa, I'm from Indonesia too.. Watching this video really resonates with me. I've been solo traveling as well. And the idea of moving and living somewhere else really fascinates me. I've been to Nepal once and I also think to live there :) Hopefully I would be able to do long term travel like you one day. Thank you for inspiring :)
Hey Syifa, Your video is really inspiring me to get out of my comfort zone. Like you said about the Asian culture of family and parents to give something back, i also feel stuck there. Really tired of my 10-6 job. Love from Nepal and India .....
Hello Syifa. Great video, I liked it. Very interesting, I hope This kind of videos motivate other girls/ people to follow their pad, (not the pad that society or religion prescribes). You have all my support. Good job, very good job.
probably the most inspirational video ive seen in a long time, this resonates with me a lot. I feel like I'm in a similar position to how you were before you started your journey and I'm feeling the pull now. Thank you Syifa
Your story is an inspiration to many people who are afraid and uncomfortable of venturing out of their comfort zone. By sharing your experience, I’m sure you have inspired many people to take that leap into the unknown and know that everything will work out.
Hello from Indonesia, Sifa! I've just found your channel and I've found it's so amazing. As Indonesian myself I'm very proud of you, and I've subscribed. I'm eager to see and hear your amazing stories..
@@atengku9660 Are u from Sumatra??? We don't throwing rubbish everywhere in Java lol. Even most clean city in Indonesia from Java lol Surabaya, Semarang, Solo, Malang.
Lol, some indonesia-hater putting effort to post in this comment. If you dislike indonesian culture, just keep it for yourself. Tengku, there's still a lot of foreigners love indonesia than you.
You are daring and learning to go out of your own comfortable zone to explore the unknown riches and variety. That's what makes you quite unique... whole life can't always be traveling around the world of unknown places but need to settle down in some point of life somewhere. All the best for your life in Nepal.
i have that conflict too , expectations from family ,, just limits you , just fly like a free bird , your desires and inner voice is the god , worship that , and i think that is happiness or meaning of life
hehehe we are a bit similar in some ways, an Indonesian female with outspoken mind, not much welcomed by most local men or the society for being a total independent female, also was not having connection at heart and soul to the hometown I grew up in. I moved out too but unfortunately not out of Indonesia, I chose Bali as the closest international spot I could reach and been in Bali for almost 20 years now. Thanks for sharing your personal background... I know I am not the only one then :)... stay healthy and happy Syifa!
Hello my friend hope you are well and having a great start to the week. This is our first time here. Can't wait to visit Indonesia, thanks for sharing your experience with us really appreciate it, love all the hints and tips really helpful indeed. Take care and stay safe my friend ❤️🙏👍
I'm actually proud of you as a solo Srilankan traveler ! May you have the courage to travel to more places in this beautiful world ! Wishes from RUSL explorer.
Watching your videos, am using my time coz contents are very informative and exceptional. Like free coaching class! I watch others youtubers videos for time pass, js to pass my time. I urged to all the subscriber's to kindly share her channel. She deserves 1 million + subscriber's. Keep inspiring us, really thankful to you!
I'm Australian and have watched many of your travels and have watched you grow. Your journey is still in it's early days and you have been through so much. Discovering yourself and leaving Islam was so brave of you. You have a beautiful spirit and I wish you much love and respect.
But Indonesia is more economically stable than Tanzania . Have better and more Tourist attration places . Indonesia also have a more stronger military power unlike Tanzania .
@@arifudin9151 aggree. A lot of westerners from developed country in Europe or USA decided to move and live in SEA which is basically developing country.
Hi Syifa, I'm Joy Singh from Indonesia, saw your videos. Proud of you. Am still stuck at Medan. And hope to cruise the world like you. You are such an inspiration. Keep it up. Cheers.
I wish all women get the freedom and opportunity to pursue their dreams and ambitions. You are definitely a great inspiration in this regard. People in some countries in the world still need to learn and change their attitude. This can only be changed through teaching progressive values in education and through positive role models.
Sungguh mengesankan cerita anda tentang kenapa anda memulai perjalanan petualangan anda ini, Ms Syifa Adriana. Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay happy during your journey around the world.

Hi Syifa, I have been a solo traveler as well between 2017 and 2019 and I feel so inspired by your words. I really admire you for leaving your country so courageously starting from scratch in another place. Consider myself a big fan of yours⭐❤️ greetings and love from Italy ✨🤍🙏
As a female, a mother from Sri Lanka, a country that is so possessive on the culture, would like to give best wishes on your career. Your videos of Sri Lanka have emphasized on true facts - pleasant and unpleasant moments. Good job and good luck.
So satisfied with the choice u made keep travelling and keep Give us some Wonderful places.
ALWAYS SUPPORTING YOU!!
You have a brave and inspiring spirit. Hopefully one day you can make a book of your life journey.
Hi Adriana, I m Thai, you look so well in English likes native speaker. I feel enjoy with your journey. First time When I watched your VDO made me wow! Cleared and easy for your traveling and descriptions. However I would like Thanks a-lot for off shore stories.
You are doing great, you are bold and strong female, feel safe in your home like country, we Nepalese are always in your support.
Syifa, your hardworking story is absolutely out of this world
thanks for sharing your experience, that I believe many of us Indonesian women can relate to. I have to say I'm one of the lucky ones, that I finally have my freedom and space to actually be myself instead of following certain rules and expectations from our culture that was just not important to me. I'm sure it's not easy for many others who may feel the same. Which is why sharing your story is so important. I'm so glad to come across your channel! 💞
You have interesting stories. Being an expat its doesn't mean we hate our original culture, but to improve the quality of life.
I left my country since 2000, but I still keep my heritage, I am not losing my identity.
Thanks Indra! Since I live on the road, I am much more neutral with any kind of Indonesian heritage. To me, human being is all the same, identity shouldnt be stuck into one definition the rest of our lives. Life is so dynamic and human being will keep evolving. 🙂
Love the stories you share Syifa :) Keep inspiring!
you are doing well Syifa - at 66, I cannot do most of the travels but managed to see many parts of the world except Central and South America - please continue your travels and share your experiences - your vlogs have a more humane face to them - people, places, culture, and customs that you cover well. The only additional thing I request is that t=you ask people you come across how happy they are and why they are happy - be Happy yourself
Your story is so relatable to every girl in non-western countries around the world, no matter their culture, religion or background they also have this kind of feeling with the whole responsibility of their family, like financially or even future generations, etc. You're so brave and inspiring, breaking that stereotype and everything, keep doing what you're doing, not so many female travelers like you these days especially from Asia, because it's different not like some kind of glamourous instagram travel influencer or youtuber but a bit more like Vice or NatGeo kinda vibe. Looking forward for more of your story kak.
These women like Syifa Adriana are influenced by toxic Western ideologies. And these Western ideas have spreading throughout Asia in rapid movement because of internet. Don't listen to them as they will not guide you on the straight path.
Thanks for sharing insightful videos. Your mindset, sense of values and courage are truely impressive. Looking forward to watching new travel stories. Wish you all the best!
This is an older video, but I am so happy I found it. I'm American, and I absolutely adored your story! This is such a calming video with the music as well :)
Baru ketemu kanalnya. Kagum banget nih, punya aspirasi dan berani mengejarnya. Keep up the good work!!
I could watch hours and hours of your travel vlogs , certainly I get to learn many things from your travel stories. You are such a pure soul , beautiful inside and out. You really inspire me and make me just go out and travel . I hope you succeed and achieve your goals 😊. Stay safe .Your well wisher😁
What a great strory Syifa,
A lot of love from indonesia
KEEP GOING !!
Thanks Amanda!
You are awesome Syifa! Bold, beautiful, and what's more, someone with a lot of grit! It isn't easy to be as calm as you in the face of uncertainty, however exciting that may seem for a while! But with a hustler attitude like yours, possibilities open up from nowhere!! So go on, explore the world, pretty woman!! ❤❤❤
From Australia. Many thanks & congratulations for sharing insightful travels on You-tube. I am now 70 years old & traveled on many of your journey's before the age of the internet & technology & before couch-surfing etc. Makes me feel like doing it again. Your courage and convictions are exemplary.
As the eldest daughter in the house, I always had this feeling of responsibility towards my family and whenever I tried to choose my dreams and intuitions over the household responsibilities, I always felt like I was being selfish.
Thank you Syifa, this video made me realize that I'm not the only one.
Thank you Amrita! I love your comments. I am also the first daughter so I can completely relate to you ❤️❤️
@@SyifaAdriana Thank you for replying! I can't explain in words how much you inspire me everyday. Keep up the good work :) We love youuuuuu
Amritaa I think Adrina is a very selfish girl to have left her parents and shrugged her responsibility towards her parents and done what she wants. We have a duty towards our parents. Would you be where you are without the love and sacrifices of your parents. If our parents were selfish we would have grown up in foster homes. Shame on woman like her!
Never feel guilty for choosing what is best to you!
@@rudaabehisfahani1968 it's funny because her parents told her to shut her dream, to have less ambition than men, instead of encouraging her to be whoever she want to be they put her down, and here you are saying things like she has a duty to her parents? She is a grown up and she can choose whatever she wants! It is her life.
That was a really touching story. Very brave of you to come out of your culture, follow your heart, and do what you wanted to do. Look forward to the next installment!
Hey syifa, I'm also Indonesian, I used to watch your video, especially when u were in China, it was a long long time ago go hahah. This video is in my recommendation just now, I remember you wear hijab, so I scroll down and you are the same person
It's okay, u are beautiful both ways😍
Edit : Follow your dreams, I hope you find happiness in life
Indonesia is a very beautiful country just falling in love with it and it's people 😁
@@iskandarzulfikar8913 Iya. Dia ateis atau agnostik sekarang.
Your comment make me check and scroll down her video 😅, I was shock she is so pretty when wearing hijabs 😅
@@febrianeki6668 dari postingannya sendiri di community posts, juga masuk majalah dan di situ dia sharing tentang hal tersebut juga.
@@febrianeki6668 saya gak tau keluarganya nerima atau nggak. Emangnya ada dia cerita gitu?
i hear lots of american and british accent from you so i thought maybe you were an indonesian but live for so long abroad, but hear your story i faced the fact that your are indonesian and live abroad on your own for past few years. you earn my respect so much, so much that i hit the subscribe button, like immedieatly. btw this is my first time in 4 year to hit the bell notification button too, looking forward for another videos from you. love from Nusa Tenggara Timur
Next video:-
Why did you choose Nepal as your home??
Just curious!!💭
Aba Atti Bayo!! Because she found her soulmate in Nepal 🇳🇵
Bcoz of luckdown 🤣🤣
Because Nepal dirties country in Asia
@@Jepri_45 what about your country.
Actually your mind is dirty.
@@Jepri_45 have u ever been to Nepal miss yeri Think before u write something
You are inspired millions of women's around Indonesia & world. Wish you all the best to achieve your dream.
Thank you so very much Chinni for your kind comment. Bless your heart!
Hey Syifa Adriana! I'm everyday watching your videos your are a brave lady person 💖💖🇳🇵too much love from my soul be safe, stay healthy, saty safe , love from Kathmandu Nepal 💖💖✌️🙏
Beautiful historical background on why you left the country and pursue your dream, good one and go for it, full of respect🙏
Syifa, I have been in Indonesia many times and traveled to many cities with my Indonesian girlfriend I had that time. I understand your frustration as a progressive woman. Wish you all the best in your feature plans .
Stay away from Indonesia, please. Indonesia doesn't need "progressive" Western people like you.
Beautifully said. This is my first video on the channel but what a story and what a message. So relaxing, too. ❤️
Halo, kak! Your story is so inspiring. I relate to a lot of your story growing up and struggling with disconnection.. glad this video somehow managed to find me :) kak you're so brave and smart. Keep doing you!
Mbak Syifa,
Senang sekali lihat progress mbak Syifa . Semoga impianmu , keinginamu semua berjalan dengan baik dan penuh kebahagiaan. Banyak tempat yg Syifa kunjungi adalah keinginkan ku untuk berkunjung juga. Melihat Videomu membuat rasa curious ku sebagaian terjawab. Maybe next time Bhutan, Tibet, Mongolia, ladakh. Stay Safe and Be happy always. Salam dari Kanada 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing a nice story Syifa. Most of the things you said is totally true and so relatable with mine and surely for many of Indonesian women I guess. Spend more money for ourselves, for travelling, shouldn't be a guilty pleasure just because of we have a family to support. I wish that every single woman can do more travelling before they get married to see how beautiful the world is out there.
Good Job Syifa😊😊😊👍👍 Stay safe and healty!
note: I promise to not skipping the ads to support you for making more incredible videos😊😁
Thank you so so very much Mery, this is a lovely comment to read! I truly appreciate it xx
Congratulations for 200K subscribers you deserve more long way to go Cheers 🥂 a Nepalese from Syndey Australia
Walau jarang komen aku slalu sempatkan waktu untuk menonton videomu kak,sambil rebahan bisa jalan jalan😂,ku doakan sehat slalu dimana pun kakak berada 😊
Hallo Syifa
Listening you is very inspiring
I really appreciate your way of connecting toward other foreigner people trying to know the essence of the Local culture
It s something that happens to me on my travels
I would like to emphasize your elegance explaining this extremely important topic
for every curious traveller
Greetings from Pisa
Ciao
Interesting story. I listened to it from the beginning to the end. I felt so day because I couldn't meet you in Sri Lanka when you visited here, though I live here. All the best to your travel journey. Hope to meet you in my beautiful country in the future.
Hi kak Syifa! Terima kasih ya sudah buat video ini. Very inspirational. Aku jadi sadar untuk tetep yakin sama diri sendiri, dengerin kata hati sendiri & berusaha untuk kejar yang aku mau walaupun kadang banyak orang yang gak bisa ngerti.
You've come a long way Syifa. I'm so happy for you. I remember those days when you used to have 10k subscribers and it will continue growing. Stay healthy and wish you all the very best. 😄😄
Thank you for sharing😀. Love your videos. Thank you for tips and inspirations. Women power! Go girl!!!
I am a big fan of you now, keep going. as a foreigner that I have been living in Indonesia since 2015 I know-how is hard to survive with the new environment. but I am so thankful for the Indonesian peoples, they are so hospitable and kind nation.
Greetings from Virginia! I found your channel by accident and love your story. Very inspiring! :)
Syifa as an Asian your vlogs is professional and interesting as Westerners keep up the good work.
Thank you Syifa for explaining why you left Indonesia. As a globe-trotter I can understand that. At the same time, many Nepalese and lovers of Nepal would like to learn why you decided to "stay" in Nepal. From your previous videos, I can have an inkling of why you may like to. But coming from you, it would be clearer. Thanks.
Hello Syifa, I'm from Indonesia too.. Watching this video really resonates with me. I've been solo traveling as well. And the idea of moving and living somewhere else really fascinates me. I've been to Nepal once and I also think to live there :) Hopefully I would be able to do long term travel like you one day. Thank you for inspiring :)
Hey Syifa, Your video is really inspiring me to get out of my comfort zone. Like you said about the Asian culture of family and parents to give something back, i also feel stuck there. Really tired of my 10-6 job. Love from Nepal and India .....
Hello Syifa. Great video, I liked it. Very interesting, I hope This kind of videos motivate other girls/ people to follow their pad, (not the pad that society or religion prescribes). You have all my support. Good job, very good job.
Hello syifa...
Hello! Thanks for the video! 1st time watching will definitely follow!
I really like ur explaining and exploring thank u for visiting my country Nepal if I get a chance I will be meting u🇳🇵❤️
probably the most inspirational video ive seen in a long time, this resonates with me a lot. I feel like I'm in a similar position to how you were before you started your journey and I'm feeling the pull now. Thank you Syifa
Same here in Cambodia......and it's hurt to live in that society as a female....and me and my parents we are moving to usa...hopefully we could ...
Wow, such a wise girl at such a young age! Thank you for the empowering speech!
Hello.. watching your videos always makes learned new things..God bless wherever you are..
Your story is an inspiration to many people who are afraid and uncomfortable of venturing out of their comfort zone. By sharing your experience, I’m sure you have inspired many people to take that leap into the unknown and know that everything will work out.
I love you kak Syifa ♥️♥️♥️♥️ inspired me so much as an Indonesian female and as a person who grow at the same culture 😘😘😘
I am Vietnamese. I like your travelling and story you are talking about . Love.
Hello from Indonesia, Sifa! I've just found your channel and I've found it's so amazing. As Indonesian myself I'm very proud of you, and I've subscribed. I'm eager to see and hear your amazing stories..
Syifa! I love the essence of your videos! You have a gift of communicating the essence of your message and your travels! ❤️🙏
Great inspiration to the young generation!
Keep exploring the world!!! Success is only yours.
All the best
While busying pursuing your dreams and desire..do not ever forget your root and self identity as you once strongly hold. Love you
What root? Dirty culture? Not discipline? Throwing rubbish everywhere?
@@atengku9660 Different perspective...but negative
@@RJ-Srijaya You cannot ask someone to forget his/her roots. It's up to them.
@@atengku9660 Are u from Sumatra??? We don't throwing rubbish everywhere in Java lol.
Even most clean city in Indonesia from Java lol Surabaya, Semarang, Solo, Malang.
Lol, some indonesia-hater putting effort to post in this comment. If you dislike indonesian culture, just keep it for yourself. Tengku, there's still a lot of foreigners love indonesia than you.
You are daring and learning to go out of your own comfortable zone to explore the unknown riches and variety. That's what makes you quite unique... whole life can't always be traveling around the world of unknown places but need to settle down in some point of life somewhere. All the best for your life in Nepal.
i have that conflict too , expectations from family ,, just limits you , just fly like a free bird , your desires and inner voice is the god , worship that , and i think that is happiness or meaning of life
hehehe we are a bit similar in some ways, an Indonesian female with outspoken mind, not much welcomed by most local men or the society for being a total independent female, also was not having connection at heart and soul to the hometown I grew up in. I moved out too but unfortunately not out of Indonesia, I chose Bali as the closest international spot I could reach and been in Bali for almost 20 years now. Thanks for sharing your personal background... I know I am not the only one then :)... stay healthy and happy Syifa!

I'm Australian and have watched many of your travels and have watched you grow. Your journey is still in it's early days and you have been through so much. Discovering yourself and leaving Islam was so brave of you. You have a beautiful spirit and I wish you much love and respect.
@dahliaflo2001 she did actually leave Islam.
Did she mention in any videos that she left Islam?
@@aimbuzz yes. You can check her channel for it. If I remember, it was when she went to Iran, or just after.

But Indonesia is more economically stable than Tanzania . Have better and more Tourist attration places . Indonesia also have a more stronger military power unlike Tanzania .

Hello syifa sister love from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏 NAMASTE
wonderful Syifa.
billion galactic thanks.
have a great day always

I wish all women get the freedom and opportunity to pursue their dreams and ambitions. You are definitely a great inspiration in this regard.
People in some countries in the world still need to learn and change their attitude. This can only be changed through teaching progressive values in education and through positive role models.
Sungguh mengesankan cerita anda tentang kenapa anda memulai perjalanan petualangan anda ini, Ms Syifa Adriana. Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay happy during your journey around the world.
Thank you so much Pak Bambang🙏🙏🙏
