Hi. My name's Budiman Ariff. I live in Shah Alam, the capital city of Selangor,Malaysia.I'm glad to be born and raised in this wonderful city and in this blessed country of Malaysia.My travel started early during my childhood days.I've been to most parts of this great country to enjoy its beauty.And being raised by a family thats prone to travel,my dad brought me to the neighbouring countries as well.Now I'm getiting into more serious travel further away from home..I'm grateful for the travel i have done so far and hope for more to come and i wish one day i will be travelling all around the world, learning new culture, meeting more ppl and become a truly global citizen. I believe travelling expand my vision and gives so many perspective towards life.

How i like this saying so much :

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

Seeking the unknown

My Preferred Travel

Most of the time i travel on a budget.Well it really depends on the location.Again, i feel the fun and adventurous factor in doing it.The more i have travelled the more things change,in which the way i see things.Maybe thats what u call the learning process.Every travel for me will mean an opportunity to appreciate the beauty or the uniqueness of the place and to learn the culture, learn the languages and the most important thing,to meet locals and get insights from them.It really makes a lot of different if comparing to go on with a tour package!
Say Cheese and potatoes!

Shutterholics

I started getting more n more into photography a bit late,when i was 17.since then i took photos,lots of them so i can store it and one day have a look at what life i have been gone through! I realized that if i only flashback my memory without real pictures,it wouldnt be fun! Now my digital camera is the best companion, especially when i travel.Pictures can tell you more than thousands of words!

Current pictures taken by my humble
Olympus c760 UZ (10x zoom )
Casio EX-Z40 ( great battery life )
Sony Ericsson k750i (if i have to)

and the latest addition :

My first dSLR : Nikon D40

chk out my online photos @ Budiman's Photo Album (pre-2007)

and also My FlickR photos
Meet the Peeps!

Meet The Local People

I personally think, by mixing with the local people will make your travel much more valuable.Make new friends and see their countries from their point of view!
Food Fiesta

Food !

Why travel when all u want to eat is your own food? Get some new taste , aroma , and colours. You wont regret it !
The Aboriginemen and the didgeridoo

Neverending learning

Learning is an ongoing thing,it doesnt stop.I find out that learning something new everyday simply gives us more meaning in life. I look forward to travel as it gives me the exposure and insights on this beautiful planet earth.Learning about cultures,society,language really attracts my interest.. I look forward meeting locals at destinations i travel into so i can learn from their perspective.
