First of all I would like to congratulate the Steemit Travel community for being chosen as the organizer of the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 9. Many people dream of their dream place. Places where people enjoy a quiet and happy time, such as visiting tourist attractions and countries around the world such as Dubai, the Red Sea, Mecca, Paris, as well as places that have their own charm.

A dream place or country that you want to visit? Location of your main destination and state what you want to achieve there!

I am an underwater lover. In Indonesia, there are many places that you must visit. And one of the places that I highly recommend for nature lovers is "Raja Ampat on Papua Island". This place is one of the places that has been claimed as a world heritage protected by UNESCO and is one of the 10 best waters for diving sites around the world.

The people there are known to live as simple fishermen, they rely on sea products and do not use violence to get seafood. Because this place is the most popular tour, the people there warmly welcome tourists to visit there. They like it when given gifts in the form of areca nut and candy because it is very rare to find them there.

This Raja Ampat Island consists of several beautiful small hills, it is said that this is because it consists of 4 (ampat/four Indonesian) Islands. Namely Waigeo Island, Misool Island, Salawati Island, and Batanta Island which were fought over for power by the Kings at that time. And after the kingdom was destroyed, these islands were then taken and kept as areas to be led by the community and became popular tourist areas.

Which company do you want to serve your trip? You can write the name of the company or just write the criteria for the company you want to serve your trip

In Indonesia there are lots of travel services that we can take either online or not, such as Traveloka, Detikcom, dreamtour, etc. However, there are several criteria that I will consider when I want to travel to Raja Ampat, bearing in mind that it will take me a long time, which is around 3,843 km or about 6 hours by plane from my area, Aceh.

There are a lot of travel scams happening right now with the lure of making us interested, especially since this is my first long trip. As well as I will choose a cheaper price but still comfortable for me and my family (considering economic needs). I will choose a travel where all costs, hotels, trips, places to visit, etc. are complete. I'm just going to really enjoy my time there.

Which payment method will you use, Crypto STEEM or FIAT? Give your reasons!

In Indonesia, crypto currency is still very common and some have not been legalized and recognized by many companies, even in dollar terms it is very difficult. This is the reason why I prefer to pay for my trip using the legal currency of my country, namely Rupiah. If possible I use crypto currency like steem, then I will exchange it first into dollars and then Rupiah. It will be clearer and safer.

How much travel costs will you incur to reach your destination? convert to STEEM value !

If we get an offer from a travel company, the price offered varies. Owh, I'm just racing against the package given, because usually using travel services is cheaper than traveling privately.

First, the price of plane tickets. This depends on the location of the traveler's departure. For example, from;

• Banda Aceh to Jakarta There are several options such as NAM Air, Sriwijaya Air, Batik Air, and Garuda Indonesia around 1-2 million
• Jakarta to Sorong Prices start from IDR 1-3 million
• Sorong to Raja Ampat harbor starting price IDR 400,000 to IDR 500,000
  So, the cost of airplane tickets alone can spend a maximum of Rp. 2 million + 3 million + 500 thousand = Rp. 5,500,000 per person or the equivalent of 1,571 steem.

And if we take travel services, as shown in the picture, then we only pay according to what the travel company provides and usually the facilities provided are very complete at a price of Rp. 12,875,000 or the equivalent of the current price of 3,678 steem.

Will STEEM be able to help you achieve your dreams? Write your feedback!

Given the current low steem prices, this might be a little difficult. This trip is my dream and I will do it when my primary and secondary needs are properly met. But if possible the price of 1 steem is around IDR 100,000 then it's not impossible. I know that being committed now, and being well dedicated to the platform will provide you with many benefits and also make it a long term investment. And right now I'm learning and continuing to learn so that one day I can be successful on a platform that will help me also realize my other dreams in real life.
