Welcome to my profile, everyone! Nice to connect with all of you.

You can call me Kresna, or simply Kres. I currently live in Jakarta, but I was born in a small city in East Java called Malang. It's famous for Bromo Mountain, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, and the many beautiful beaches in its southern region.

I've always loved traveling. My family and I would take trips every holiday season. However, I started solo backpacking during my college years, exploring East Java and Yogyakarta by motorcycle.

I prefer the backpacking style of travel. I particularly enjoy the beach, especially at sunset. I'm also fascinated by historical architecture and unique buildings, and I love taking photos of them.

I'm a big coffee lover, so let's grab a coffee sometime!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered this app through a YouTube content creator who recommended it as a must-have for travelers. I've learned how to use it to connect with travelers worldwide.

As a solo traveler, I find this app incredibly helpful for finding local hosts or guides. It makes it easier to communicate with locals, whether it's bargaining for souvenirs or navigating unfamiliar cities. I hope to learn about different cultures through these interactions.

I'm also looking forward to connecting with other users and possibly planning future trips together. And who knows, maybe I'll even meet my travel buddy here!
