About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying life as happy as possible while share anything I could share to others.

ABOUT ME
Well, I’m a bookish person, been working in some book publishing house and now running my own bookshop in Depok.

Traveling is my others love beside books, side by side with cooking and writing. Those combination is something you can expect from me.

PHILOSOPHY

Happily slow living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling for me is not just visiting one place or another, capture the best shot and go back home. Traveling is a life journey, not only to see a new place, but also to feel new experience, in touch with locals, and share anything we could share.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got alot of good friends from CS. I'd learned alot of experiences either. Its always difficult to pick which one is the best! I always believe that the world is to big to live alone and to know just one place.

Interests

Book is my biggest interest, I loved to read, write, and collecting books, especially fiction, comics, and historical books. But, no, Im not that kind of nerd-bookworm-weirdo-in-glasses like sometimes you watch on movie, that kind of bookworm doesn’t really exist in real life 😄

I also love to cook so I can share some Indonesian recipe or other Asian recipe.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read alot in my life, like alot alot 😬 so its always difficult to pick up which one is the best shot. But I mostly collecting some fantasy fiction, history, comic, and books about culinary journey.

My personal taste of music are jazz, soul, r&b or something enchanted for my ear and heart. I like to brows on Youtube, looking for movies from all over the world because its another way to know other cultures.
