East Java Trip – From Jakarta to Ijen

Potovanje po Javi – od Jakarte do Ijena

Potovanja Slovenski kotiček

Indonezija naju je očarala že pred 4 leti, ko sva bila na Lomboku zaradi takratnega uničujočega potresa ena izmed redkih turistov. Takoj, ko so se pandemične razmere umirile (za turiste je bila država zaprta vse do letošnje pomladi), sem začela načrtovati najino novo potovanje v Indonezijo. V prvotnem planu je bil nacionalni park Komodo v kombinaciji s počitnicami na Baliju, a sva na koncu namesto Komoda raje izbrala kratko potovanje po Javi. V članku bom opisala, kako je potekala najina avantura od Jakarte do Ijena, oziroma mesteca Banjuwangi, kjer sva pot po Javi zaključila z vkrcanjem na trajekt za Bali.

Instagram kode – Podjetja in znamke, ki jim zaupam

About me Slovenski kotiček

Ko na Instagramu dosežeš določeno število sledilcev, te opazijo tudi podjetja, ki si želijo sodelovanja s tabo. V prevodu to pomeni, da želijo preko tvojega profila predstaviti svoje izdelke ali storitve v zameno za testne izdelke ali plačilo. Večinoma ti najprej pošljejo testne izdelke*, pri čemer merijo odziv preko instagram kode za popuste.  Če sta obe strani zadovoljni z rezultatom, se prične dolgoročno sodelovanje. Le-to lahko ostane na nivoju kompenzacije, ali pa preide na sistem plačljivih objav oziroma provizij od prodaje (t. i. affiliate kode). V tem članku bom predstavila svoje stalne kode za popuste.
