Hi, I'm Ren from Jakarta, Indonesia. I love to travel to new places and when I travel the no. 1 thing I really like to do is to try the local cuisine. What can I say, I love to eat... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of giving some of your time and space to a total stranger, I'm definitely unfamiliar with that. I grew up in a strict family and they have been very protective of me, so honestly I find this to be quite crazy. But then again, many people have joined and have shared a great deal of experiences that made me very curious.

Also, I wanna challenge and open myself to how other people view the world. How they live, their routine, the kind of food they eat, etc. I think it'll be interesting to see first hand, how other people go with their lives. Lastly, of course I'm interested in making new friends along the way. The ones we meet personally would be more memorable and so I hope I'll meet new friends through couchsurfing... :)

Interests

I looooovvveeee to eat, and I am very much interested to taste the local cuisines. I think it's one of the best, if not, the best way to get a glimpse of the local culture...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will gladly cook for my host. I'm not the best cook, but I will do my best to not poison you with my cooking skill...

I'm gonna bring condiments, unique from Indonesia, that is KECAP. This is for me, a miracle sauce, makes everything taste better. Even if you can't cook. And also, SAMBAL. I hope you like spicy foods...

I will definitely bring lotsa Indonesian foods n snacks. I want to introduce Indonesia to everyone, and I think it's best to do it through food.
