  NINNA.ID - On the evening of May 4, 2026, Kualanamu Airport was still busy as I waited for three very special guests from Slovakia and the Czech Republic. As a tour guide who has spent years guiding travelers around Lake Toba and Sumatra, I know every journey begins with a first impression. Their flight arrived around 8:40 PM, and the warm Medan air welcomed them that night. I still clearly remember seeing Maria, Pavla, and Hana walking out of the arrival gate with large suitcases and tired faces after their long journey. We immediately took a photo together. It became the first photo of our eleven-day journey full of stories and unforgettable moments. [caption id="attachment_37297" align="alignnone" width="1280"]  Picking up Maria, Pavla, and Hana at Kualanamu Airport was not only the beginning of a journey, but also the start of eleven days filled with stories, laughter, and new friendships growing in Sumatra.

     Hutaraja Learning House is a learning center located in Ulos Hutaraja Village. It was founded by Damayanti Sinaga as a medium to channel her hobby and passion for teaching English to children.

Edit Post Lake Toba is vast, spanning eight regencies. If you only have a two-day holiday, it won’t be enough to explore everything Lake Toba has to offer. For adventurers, Samosir is the best choice to experience the exoticism of Lake Toba. The other seven regencies also offer incredible experiences. However, if you want to pack a lot into a short amount of time, Samosir is your best option. This isn’t just promotional talk for Samosir; many friends and guests have said the same thing. They describe Samosir as a super-complete destination. Among those are two women who work at a humanitarian organization in Jakarta. Initially, they planned a 3-day, 2-night vacation in Parapat. However, upon arriving in Parapat, they changed their minds, possibly because they wanted to see what Samosir was like. Capturing the Beauty of Ajibata Even though they had already paid in full for a two-night stay, they decided to explore Samosir for 2 days and 1 night. Posing with the scenic backdrop of Lak...
