For those who have been following this Instagram account for quite a while, you might be familiar with a special dog named Stella that I met in New Zealand.

Benda ni agak personal tapi aku rasa aku nak share sebab aku rasa kisah aku dengan Stella ni is part of my core memory in New Zealand so i want to make it as a post so bebila rindu aku boleh belek balik post ni

2018 was the year TFP began to grow. Tahun ni lah based on record, TFP dah dapat create our own niche. Advertise trip and trip start sold out within two weeks. Start with Flores, Japan, Mongolia and New Zealand. Tahun 2018 jugak lah aku baru start kenal erti penat travel back to back. Aku baru belajar start travel lama almost 3 months jaga trip.

I was one man show back then. 85 days, 6 camping trips New Zealand back to back, with no strong financial support, no support system, aku hadap koyak barai semua tu sendiri. Nak dijadikan cerita, time tu jugak lah aku tengah heart broken. Korang pernah ke ada moment level koyak tengok batu pun nangis? Hah aku lah tu time tu. Tengok batu pun dah bergenang air mata, pastu cepat cepat lap sebab kau kena stay function jaga trip.

I met Stella during one of the trip. And we connected instantly. Since kenal Stella, aku cut budget daily allowance aku from 10NZD/day ke 5NZD/day. Duit cut tu aku nak pakai buat topap duit petrol nanti aku nak pergi Fairlie jumpa Stella waktu gap trip.

I still remember it vividly,
aku bayar duit petrol 30NZD with coins kat Mobil,
Aku text owner Stella aku nak singgah jumpa Stella,
Aku pecut drive 2 jam lebih ke Fairlie,
And there Stella dah ada depan rumah
Aku jalan masuk ke farm belakang rumah
Duduk kat tengah tengah farm
Aku menangis sesorang
And Stella, she just sat there next to me
Just be present
I have nobody back then
But somehow,
Stella’s warm presence healed my broken soul
This core memory had a huge impact on me
It shaped me into who i am today

Be nice to everyone
You never know the battles others are fighting
I want people especially bebudak trip aku feel a sense of warmth whenever they’re around me
No awkward, just comfortable

I want to be everyone’s Stella :)

Lets do some recap of 2024 shall we people?
Aku recap benda benda yang aku nak recap jela eh lols

✨Most challenging trip of the year?
I’d would say Nordic winter trip. Nak mengadap winter for 2 months plus long hour winter drive bagi aku tu paling barai lah. Tambah koyak bila stuck in snow couple of times and ada moment kitorang stuck and kena settle sendiri and ada sekali stuck ada locals yang tolong. Bagi aku itu moment paling koyak mental.

✨ Most unexpected trip of the year?
Ini aku bagi kat Autumn Norway trip. Bila dah selalu ada di Norway waktu winter, bila datang ke Norway time autumn memula aku ingat macam anti climax. But damn actually Norway time peak autumn cantik mat. Tak boleh compare apple to apple time waktu winter.

✨ Most underrated trip of the year?
Roadtrip kat Armenia waktu early winter. Menggigil mat pegang stereng time trip ritu. Kalau aku tak fikir tengah trip ritu, aku dah cilok masuk jalan antara gunung mana mana tah ritu. Sumpah layan. Jalan cantik, clear and tak banyak lori.

Ini recap for 2024 aku. Kalau aku boleh describe 2024 in two words it would be beautifully hectic ✨

2025 is no different. I can say it comes with huge expectation
Gentle aku cakap, aku nervous mat
Bila orang cakap TFP jual trip macam jual sambal kejap gila sold out
It scares the s**t out of me.

Luckily, we do love pressure. So, challenge accepted ✌🏼

See you in a bit 2025!

Random thought session

Haritu before fly Mabul untuk job lead group, aku jenjalan kat mall sensorang. Dah jadi rutin aku before masuk kerja aku akan jalan jalan waktu lunch hour sambil pakai shades. Aku pakai shades purposely sebab nak observe orang 😂

Why lunch hour? Sebab time tu orang office semua masuk mall nak makan. Time tu la muka ketat masing masing keluar. Muka muka ni lah yang kumpul duit nak pergi bercuti and vacation is their escapism

Aku fikir, trip before covid aku kena handle manusia yang nak release stress dari kerja, lupakan kejap masalah dengan keluarga, ada juga bawa hati yang lara from broken relationship.

But after covid? The reasons become more heart wrenching. Ada family meninggal due to covid, kena buang kerja, tak dapat jumpa family, and the list goes on

And its my job bawak orang orang ni pergi berjalan and mend their heart. Give my best so they can have one of the most memorable trip in their life.

“Makin berat kerja aku lepas covid ni”. Itu lah last thought aku sambil usha muka ketat manusia manusia di mall.

Semua orang ada struggle dia. Be nice to everyone. Kecuali pada Azam Baki, FAM, BAM dan gang gang tu lah. Tibeh 😂

Dengan mudahnya scene ni adalah scene paling aku s**a sepanjang trip ke Mabul. Aku tak pernah lagi jumpa scene camni.

Paling memorable waktu on the way ke Kapalai nampak banyak gila nelayan berbackground kan 50 shades of blue.

This one was taken in Lato Lato Resort berbackgroundkan Bohey Dulang

Secara jujurnya, handle trip camping di New Zealand sensorang adalah kerja yang susah.

Kau lah yang kena make sure all tents siap pasang before matahari terbenam
Make sure team kitchen berasap
Kau lah yang kena make sure semua orang tau dan buat kerja masing masing
Dalam camping teamwork is vital. Kalau takde teamwork trip tu boleh jadi the worst trip ever

Bila teamwork dalam group kau perfect gila nak mampus, barulah korang dapat enjoy dan rasa ✨vibe camping✨

Paling aku rindu is the feeling of peace in chaos. Dalam sibuk sibuk handle trip, aku akan curi masa untuk bertenang. Most of the time aku akan buat kopi and duduk jejauh dari dorang and just enjoy the silent moment. Kalau check in lodge, aku akan take some time alone cuci tent di garage.

As a guide, kau automatically akan ada routine in trips. Routine tu lah yang aku rindu. Routine yang boleh buat aku rasa tenang

Dalam list followers instagram ni ramai ke eh trip organizer? Mesti korang boleh relate kan
