Exploring Time: Habibi’s Journey into the Roots of Jakarta’s History with GBA

Habibi, a student at Global Bridge Academy, recently completed a valuable experience as a "tourist in his own city" through a walking tour with Jakarta Good Guide in the Kota Tua area. Driven by a curiosity for history that can be observed firsthand, Habibi used this opportunity to better understand the city where he lives. For him, this journey was more than just a stroll; it was preparation to become a storyteller for his friends and family in the future. With great enthusiasm, he absorbed every detail, turning every corner of the old buildings into a living classroom. Throughout the trip, Habibi felt no significant challenges because he truly enjoyed every step of retracing the past. The most compelling aspect for him was discovering unique historical facts and fascinating stories rarely found in modern history textbooks. This experience had a significant impact on broadening his historical perspective. Through this activity, Habibi proved that the best learning often happens outdoors, where history is not just read, but felt and seen directly, perfectly aligning with the spirit of exploration championed by Global Bridge Academy.
