About Me

Hi..! Recently I come back here after being inactive in CS for a few years.
I am an easy going person and love traveling and meet people.
I have a good sense of humor.
I am happy to tell you the beauty, culture and friendliness of my country if I have time.

It was a pleasure that TripAdvisor.com has given me badge of Top Contributor/ Trimaster. My username in TripAdvisor. com is junsurya.

I have been in many countries as I love to talk and hang out with warm and friendly persons from any walk of life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I knew about CS from Kompas newspaper a few years ago. I signed up but unfortunately I was not active due to my ignorance of CS .
I love to make friends with any nice persons from different countries and culture and share info about my country.
love to learn new good things and get more informations of beautiful places that I haven't visited yet.
try to help friends enjoy their holiday in Indonesia as long as I could.

EXPERIENCE:
When I was in Rotterdam, Bert and Jacqueline drove me to Keukenhof and Holland countryside. Unfortunately they are not CS member, so they couldn't make any reference for me here.
Martin from Holland stayed in Salatiga for a month. I accompanied him travelling to Jakarta and Bogor. He also helped me do some job in my clinic. But he is not a CS member... what a pity.... ; ) but you can see our photo on my profile pics.
When I visited Praha, Pavel brought me to many good places there. Praha is so beautiful. You can see our pic on my profile.
Lorenzo from Italy helped me during my visit to Venezia (Pic on profile).
