Jakarta, the sprawling capital city of Indonesia, is located on the northwest coast of the world's most populous island, Java. Known for an intriguing blend of cultures, heritage and modernity, the city plays host to the dazzling National Monument, historic museums including the Jakarta History Museum and Museum Bank Indonesia, drawing in people from the world over. Jakarta's vibrant culinary scene is worth exploring, with an array of street food stalls and upscale restaurants serving delicious local cuisines. Despite being a bustling metropolis, Jakarta doesn't shy away from green spaces famously known as "the lungs of the city," like the renowned Ragunan Zoo and Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, a beautiful recreational park showcasing Indonesia's culture and indigenous flora and fauna. Its massive shopping malls include Grand Indonesia and Plaza Indonesia that are not just shopping destination but a complete family entertainment place.

Couch surfing in Jakarta is a rewarding and enriching endeavor that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the city's vibrant culture. It offers the chance to meet new people, both locals and fellow travelers, providing a unique perspective of the city through their eyes. You get a taste of authentic Jakarta from the most reliable source - its people. Engaging in conversations with your hosts can facilitate the exchange of cultural knowledge and experiences. It's more than just a place to sleep; it's about experiencing local customs, cuisines, oft-hidden spots, and real Jakarta life that no hotel can replicate.

Alot of people told me there isnt anything in Jakarta but I still went ahead with a solo trip. The people in Jakarta are very friendly and helpful. I stayed in All Season Thamrin Hotel which is 10 mins walk to the malls . Thamrin City was my favourite as I could purchase cloths at wholesale price. I went to Jakarta old town and I love the peaceful surroundings. Jakarta has MRT but I didnt commute. Most of the time I used GoJek their private hirer and its really affordable. Their food is amazing dont forget to try their Jamu drink if you are visiting.
