I am from Indonesia. I just recently finished my master's program in London and now back working in Jakarta. I like to travel, and for me, travelling is more than beautiful places. I want to meet local people and hear their interesting stories, learn about local culture, and know more about the city and places I visit.

I just recently learn about photography. One of the reasons I'm learning photography is so that I can capture the memory of the beautiful places I visit and the interesting people I meet. So far, I only post my photos on Instagram, check it out https://www.instagram.com/krispatrasio/?hl=en

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I just recently signed up on Couchsurfing. Last year I spent time living in London. I used this opportunity to visit some other interesting destinations. Not only do I want to visit the beautiful places or landmarks, but beyond that, I also want to meet local people, make new friends and learn more about local culture and customs.
