Heya! I'm Rasy. I'm an Australian student here in Bandung on a semester exchange program. Aslinya dari Jakarta sihhhhh tapi sudah lama tinggal di luar negeri. I'm currently based in Brisbane, Australia and have been for the past 8 years. It's really interesting to be back in this country when I'm not backpacking and moving around heaps, so would love to make some local friends (dan untuk belajar bahasa indonesia hahaha) :)

I grew up travelling, I moved to Thailand when I was really young and had stints where I lived in NZ and India. Now that I'm older I've mostly backpacked in Malaysia and Indonesia (as a homecoming trip), both solo and with my boyfriend. Seeing every major island / region of Indonesia is definitely one of my bucket list goals ! I had the pleasure of spending a whole month in Sulawesi Selatan last year n I would luuuv to see more of this beautiful place after being away for so long💕

Random things I like include: dirty chai lattes, weird art performance pieces (see the one in my photos....... the weirdest), art deco architecture, found poetry, gin-based cocktails, long walks through the suburbs while appreciating people's front gardens, that twilight zone feeling when you take public transport late at night, waterfalls, a good cup of tea
