How Could Foreigners Travel for A Long Period of Time?

JAKARTA - We often read about the experiences of foreigners traveling to various countries in a long period of time. They seem more relaxed in traveling.

Maybe we often wonder, how can they take a vacation for a long time? Then how do they save money? So, they can move from one place to another.

It turns out that there is a different concept of leave from workers in Indonesia. In our country, an employee usually works 5 to six 6 a week based on the company's employment contract.

Regarding the leave schedule, usually, workers in Indonesia only get five consecutive days. However, it is according to the regulations of each respective company.

However, foreign companies overseas apply different things. Even though they have the same working time as us (five to six days), but their time off is the same as their working period.

For example, a worker who wishes to take time off could take one month. It is rare for a worker who takes leave for one to two days.

Foreign workers are allowed to take the leave directly. This rule is different from those of us who are usually only allowed to take three days in one month.

Then what about the money for a vacation? No different from us, they also save their money. But, most foreigners save their money for a long time. So, they can spend it on traveling.

They are also the type who likes to work hard. Many students choose to fill their vacation time by becoming part-time workers until they enter a new semester. Well, the salary is saved for traveling.

Then what if Indonesians want to travel for a long time like foreigners? There is no way unless you are the leader of the company or have a big position in the office.

Besides, based on company regulations in Indonesia, it seems difficult if an employee wants to travel for a long time.
