Erika Kurihara

"I believe in traveling with a purpose and with unbridled curiosity. I hope that Bali seen through the eyes and minds of the photographers, artists, writers and other creatives in residence at Rumah Hujan will inspire you to look beyond the well known tourist spots and experiences, empowering you to make new discoveries and return feeling full of inspiration".
