My Travel Story

by: Syifa Jindra Maharani Start Date: Jan 30, 2025 - End Date: May 29, 2025
Hi, my name is Syifa, and I’m from Indonesia. My passion for healthy food started with my personal health journey. In 2017, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that severely affected my skin, leaving me in the lowest state I had ever been in. I relied on medication daily, but deep down, I knew there had to be a better way.

That’s when I started researching and discovered that real food has the power to heal. This realization led me to embrace a healthier lifestyle, beginning my journey as a vegetarian in 2019. Over the years, I transitioned from a lacto-ovo vegetarian to a pescatarian, and now, in 2025, I follow a primarily vegetarian diet with occasional wild-caught fish from local farmers. Through trial and error, I have explored various restaurants in Indonesia and even had the chance to visit Singapore, learning that healthy food can be both delicious and fulfilling.

How Will This Campaign Make a Difference?
I want to share this journey with the world—especially with those who, like me, struggle with food restrictions due to health conditions. Many people believe that eating healthy means sacrificing taste, but I want to prove otherwise. By traveling and exploring healthy yet flavorful dishes, I aim to raise awareness that choosing the right food is a lifetime investment in our well-being.

Through this campaign, I will:
✅ Discover and document the best healthy food options in different countries.
✅ Share my experiences through content, reviews, and recommendations.
✅ Inspire and educate people on how to make better food choices.
✅ Connect with the community by showcasing restaurants, street food, and local farmers who prioritize fresh and nutritious ingredients.

Why This Project Matters to Me
This journey is deeply personal. I have lived through the struggle of finding foods that align with my health needs, and I want to help others who are on the same path. Food is not just fuel—it is medicine, culture, and joy. By proving that healthy food can be exciting and delicious, I hope to change mindsets and encourage people to eat better without feeling restricted.

Why These Destinations?
I have chosen Japan, South Korea, and Singapore because of their well-known fresh ingredients, diverse cuisine, and rich food culture. These countries are known for their balanced meals, nutrient-dense dishes, and innovative ways of preparing food. I want to explore, learn, and share how these places incorporate health and flavor into their traditional and modern meals.

Join Me on This Journey!
Your support will help me fund this project, allowing me to travel, document, and bring valuable insights to the community. Let’s prove together that healthy food is not just possible—it’s delicious, accessible, and worth celebrating!
