Hello there, I am Faisal. You can call me Sal if you want. I work as a product manager in a Financial Institution but when it comes to meeting new people during my travels, I'd prefer not to talk about my job!
I have a special spot in my heart for Music, Design, and Photography. Collecting vinyls, sipping a single origin coffee, and taking some good pixelated pictures are few things that keep me sane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I'm on Couchsurfing is simply because I really want to meet new people in a new place. Therefore, I believe that I could maximize my travelling options and experience to the highest level.

Interests

Music, Movies, Books.... i'm also into analog photography. I love taking pictures, and going to a live concert. I've attended lots of concerts ranging from the most mainstream one to some of the most absurd bands that you will ever know. I am also able to play Guitar, Drums, Bass and Keys but sadly I never had the chance to be a famous musician, probably it isn't my path.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove a scooter throughout the mud in the middle of a savanna at 5 am in the morning simply just to catch a sunrise. But then my scooter broke down in the wilderness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some Bahasa Indonesia, and perhaps guitarlele lesson? lol
I really want to learn how to Surf, perhaps in the near future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perhaps I could share something magical, for example how to cook some Indonesian cuisine, strolling around and maybe we could sing and play music together.
