With Couchsurfing the world becomes small.........................................................................
Never truer after meeting Horia this weekend, a sensitive intrepid traveller. My host,James, from Solo, Indonesia got in touch with me to help out his friend who was about to make his way to North Borneo. While sharing our Indonesian experiences we found out we had a mutual friend in Erik,whom we've recently caught up with while Erik is exploring Indonesia, Horia in Makassar and I in Bali. Later, after we got him settled in my home, we discovered more mutual friends as he added me to his FB. "YOU KNOW FATMA AND YOHANN TOO?"
Serendipitous chance or not I thought of putting up a rough timeline of all our meetings!
5 years ago Horia befriends Erik after reading his travelblog http://tchecossais.blogspot.com
Last year Horia met Fatma in Papua,Indonesia

He plans on coming back to Kalimantan,Indonesia Borneo, which I've never been to and lately I have been curious about the stomach of Borneo,google the map and you can see I live in the head of Borneo (rather like a dog's!). Next travel destination perhaps! I heard of a big cultural festival in November,so I may head down south sooner than expected!
