ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveller and KZbin creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveller, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.
My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher-my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on KZbin, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.
Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on KZbin.

[@romymongalini3838]

Very fascinating train ride, indeed. Your videos, experiences, and commentaries makes an interesting resource for Tourism and Travel Geography especially border crossing requirements, procedures, and language requirements. Any tourist intending to travel to central Asia can get a lot of tips from your vlogs. Central Asia is very large, beautiful, and with charming people as can be gleaned from this episode. Tourism is a good way to promote global cultural understanding and travelers and content creators/ vloggers like you and others just like your new Taiwanese friend are in the forefront. Again, thank you for bringing us to Central Asia. Keep on and keep safe!

[@SyifaAdriana]

Thank you, Romy! Central Asia is such a huge continent that all of my videos only serves as a glimpse of what the countries and people look like. I barely scratched the surface and I think it deserves more traction. Thanks for watching!

[@remaguire]

I LOVE riding trains. When I lived in Europe, it was my preferred mode of transportation. I got to know so many fantastic and incredibly generous people! Sometimes it seemed that the poorer the people were, the more giving they were...of their belongings and their hearts. I'm getting bit old in the tooth, so I think my travels to Central Asia will have to be through you, but if I was just 20 years younger, you would probably meet me somewhere along the road. I am a wanderer at heart. I firmly personify the Tolkien quote: "Not all who wander are lost." As a matter of fact, I am in the beginning stages of planning to buy a trailer and become a "nomad" here in the western USA. I have traveled (and lived) all over the world, so I know what to expect and I CAN'T WAIT! If I were to choose places to go in Central Asia, the more local, the better. I would avoid the metropolitan centers and concentrate on places that hark back to the "-Stans" of old and the Silk Road. That would be a dream trip. Enjoy your travels. I'm a bit envious.

[@SyifaAdriana]

Thank you so much, Robert! So lovely to read your comment. Good luck in your nomad journey! Share more of your journey and would love to read what you'll learn along the way. There's a fantastic Facebook Group called "Overland to Asia": facebook.com/groups/510330665669757/ if you even want to research on driving along the Stans with your future trailer. Best wishes 😊

[@architecture3347]

Hi, my dream is to ride the train from east to west of USA, I know there is a one there. But first i’ d be gone for a long trip across the Europe. I am from Kazakhstan, western part.

That episode of Central Asia is the most funny one I've watched, I love every footage that you had took and the train conductors looked so friendly and respectful, unlike some people which I think you know whom am I talking about. The immigration officers not as much, I get that they are checking everywhere including your items because to be sure that nothing suspicious is inside, but checking your phone to me that is not just invasive, but also disrespectful because like you said it's personal stuff. I will feel weird if that happens to me if I travel to Central Asia. But overall, I love this video and I hope that you upload more videos in Tajikistan.

[@SyifaAdriana]

Hahaha thanks a lot, Emanuel. So glad to know that you found this video to be funny. The Tajik staff were indeed quite comical so it helps me to get through the 18 hour journey. I agree with you, checking through my bags would be fine but checking my phone twice going through my photos was very disrespectful. When such a thing happen, I would always try to remain calm, not to make a scence but won't allow any officer to bully me. Thanks for watching!

[@richard135b7]

You're incrediblly adventurous and courageous traveling to these central asian countries especially as a woman and alone! The criminal element could easily make you disappear and no one back home would ever know what happened. Even those official police at the border crossings look frightening. Find yourself a boyfriend and travel together : ) The only Stan country I would feel safe traveling to is Kazakhstan. But your travel videos to these countries unknown to the Western world are quite fascinating.
