Have you ever been in a situation where you feel lonely and need to alleviate the feeling of isolation when you are living abroad?

Being an Indonesian living abroad does feel lonely at times and it’s a normal process because every living person has experienced it before.

I once myself had a first taste of homesickness when I was studying abroad in Germany for a year. It was my first-time living miles away from my family & friends. At first, I enjoyed this burst of new experience for a few weeks – however leading up to the 6^th month – I felt like I missed a lot of important things – especially about foods. 

I remember that one time that there was a viral food happening in my country – called banana nugget. I remember that whenever I called my family and friends, some of them were saying that it was a pretty popular food and many people even shared the recipe. But I missed out on it because I was living abroad and I could not even cook, so I did not know how to make it.  This might be simple – but I suddenly missed home.

Since then, I have been asking people from the embassy or any Indonesian person living abroad to bring me Indonesian foods whenever they are going back to Indonesia. At that time, I was living in a small village where it can be quite difficult to get access to Indonesian foods. So, I had to go back to the city or to another place just to get access to Indonesian foods. On the other hand, the prices can be quite expensive and I do not always have the access to get these.

Until I finally found the Indo4ward website, which is a marketplace platform where I can shop, pay and receive my Indonesian goods without the hassle. Just like its tagline *Copy & Paste* . I can just copy and paste the link from every Indonesia’s marketplaces and buy my product from Indo4ward, which has supported every currency. Do you want to know how to use it?

In addition to that, the website is accessible and can be navigated easily, you can browse through each catalogue without taking too much time. 

You can start by copy and paste the link of your desired product in each marketplace platform.

STEP 3 – Get more from other marketplaces

Who does not want to have a good experience? 

As we all know, the most important thing that we need to do when we are buying online products is to check on the reviews.  Reviews is a very deal – breaker when it comes to have the shopping experience, because an honest review can save you from making  a really bad purchase.

In general, for instance, I only shop at stores with at least 3 – 5  blue hot ratings and that it usually needs to have 90% best response or more than 1000 successful transactions. 

In this case, there will be a swamp of reviews for you to go through, but then you can just filter the reviews and choose certain comments or inquiries with the most – positive feedbacks.

STEP 4 – Check out

Once you have submitted the product links, you will be redirected to the next page where you can make purchases with Indo4ward. Indo4ward currently accepts payments via PayNow and Credit/Debit Cards Internationally.
