I'm Ari, Indonesian student In Business Administration Department, Uludağ University, Bursa/Turkey. I love travelling since senior high school. Travelling teaches me to be independent, patient and how to manange money well. So far I have been traveling around 35 cities and 11 countries (including Indonesia). My recent dream is travelling to 30 counties around the world at 24 years old, it means I have 19 counties left.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making new friends and learning new culture from native without limit are my main purposes. I do love hearing stories from guests who traveled to other counties whom I don't visit yet.

Interests

I love cooking when I was junior high school. I can cook for guest some Indonesian food and I'll try to cook some while being your guest. I love taking picture of my trip, especially classical buildings and old bridges. For me writing down all occasions that happen along trip is an obligation. Sometimes I share my experience to some local newspaper in Indonesia. I've been writing for student magazine in Turkey in Travel Column. I love novel, history and encyclopedic books. Sometimes reread articles that I wrote.
