Numpang di rumah orang is the Indonesian phrase for simply crashing at someone else's house. For the past five years, I've trotted cities around the globe thanks to the the countless wonderful people who've offered me a bed, a meal, and a roof over my head at the very least. Here's where they live:
An investment portfolio executive's house on the Eastside suburbs of Seattle
A retired economist's row house in Leidschendam, south of the Hague
A graduate student's attic apartment in the Hague
A veterinarian's row house on the northern side of Rotterdam
A computer engineer's house in Nagano, Japan
A small-town doctor's sprawling ranch in Wessington Hills, South Dakota
A restauranteur's farm house in Brookings, South Dakota
A professor's split-level house, built in the 1950s, in Northfield, Minnesota
A world bank researcher's Victorian row house apartment in downtown Washington D.C.
An undergraduate student's NYU dorm room in Manhattan
A journalist's red-brick house in a leafy Washington D.C. neighborhood
A sales executive's low-rise in suburban Maryand
And, soon, an Indian family in Pune.
Man I'm probably the most indebted person in the entire world!
