Travelling the world

I have a new dream : Travelling the world,
A month ago, there was a subject that we need to speech and explain about our vision and mission, i think about 20 mins to realize what i really wanted : travelling the world. It's quite cool because last year the lecturer asked me about my vision, and i answered "become thin". See, i've changed a lot :)
Eventhough it's exam week in my college, but there are a lot of univ that already had holiday,
I'm drooling when i saw facebook, my friends was going on holiday to different countries. I saw their photos and admiring the beautiful place that i've never seen. I know they're gifted with a lot of money, so it's easier for them to travel around the world, so I decided to become a success person and travelling the world with my own budget. See, learn and experience the world. That's my vision.

Sorry for not updating this blog. A lot of things that happened, seriuosly A LOT, actually I got a rest week before final exam, but this week is not rest at  all

Among all of them, I want to share something intresting about renting a room in Netherland.

Nisa, my friend that stays in Netherland and 2 other friends (i'm bad at remembering name) from netherland that stay in Indonesia recommend me to try kamernet.nl

Eventhough, it's look like a free page, but it's not. When you want to send a message to landlord, you have to pay € 20 for a month or € 30 for 3 months and blablabla euro for 6 months or a year, it's your option.

It's quite difficult to pay by creditcard,because you didnt have netherland account. My friend, Alfona try to paid by creditcard, but she failed.

FOR ME : THANKS TO NISA, She lent me € 30, because she has rabobank account and easier to register with it.

So, I started sending my message :

Dear Sir/Madam,

Let me intoduce myself, my name is Ririn and i'm really interested with your room. I'm 19 years old woman and going to be an exchange student at The Hague University/De Haagse Hogeschool from August 2012 till January 2013.

I'm looking forward your response about the room.

Thank You and Have a nice day :)

Best Regards,

Ririn

I sent this message to 7 landlord and no one reply :"(

I shared this message with nisa and wondering if there's anything wrong with my message.

Then, Nisa sent me her message to the landlord that the room is she stays right now.

Aaaaaa,i figured it out! So,the message has to be interested and represent yourself as well.

So, here is my new message :
