Hey fellow travelers around the Earth!

They say, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” I’m on a mission to devour this book, one exhilarating chapter at a time. My personality? It’s a mixtape of stories, laughter, and spontaneous adventures. I thrive on meeting new souls, exchanging tales that span continents, and creating memories with friends—be they lifelong or just met.

As an independent voyager, my journey is never lonely because it’s filled with the richness of shared experiences. If you’re up for a chat, a walk, or even a bit of delightful madness, I’m your companion. Time is a precious commodity, and I’d love to share some of mine with you.

Describing "myself" is quite the puzzle, isn’t it? I’m still piecing together my own mosaic. But why not join me in this quest? Let’s swap stories over coffee, or better yet, set off on a mini adventure to uncover the essence of our tales. If you’re ready to add a dash of the unexpected to your day, let’s connect and expand our horizons together.

Or, if you’re feeling creative, lend me your pen and help me fill in the blanks of my story. Let’s make this profile a canvas of possibilities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Local wisdom is the compass that guides my travels. There’s an undeniable charm in the streets walked by locals, the stories told in their authentic voices, and the hidden gems that only they can reveal. I’ve been a member of the Couchsurfing community since 2009, and it became my travel staple in 2013, enriching my journeys across borders.

For me, Couchsurfing is more than just a platform; it’s a gateway to genuine connections. I cherish the diversity of friendships that bloom from shared experiences and conversations, unbound by background or status. It’s these connections that weave the rich tapestry of my travels.

So here I am, embracing the Couchsurfing value, eager to dive into the local way of life wherever I go. Let’s explore the world through each other’s eyes and create stories worth retelling.

Interests

At the heart of my interests is YOU—yes, you reading this! I’m on the lookout for kindred spirits who are open to forging a bond that goes beyond the usual. Let’s embark on a journey of friendship that’s filled with laughter, learning, and mutual support.

In the realm of academia, my curiosity is piqued by international development and the innovative ways societies tackle social challenges. If you’re passionate about making a difference and enjoy deep discussions, I’m all ears. We can exchange insights and maybe even collaborate on projects that matter.

Back home in Jakarta, I’m actively involved in community service, particularly in initiatives that empower children to chase their educational dreams. It’s a cause close to my heart, and I welcome you to join me in this endeavor. Together, we can be part of something bigger and contribute to the brighter future of these young minds.

If this strikes a chord with you, let’s connect! Whether it’s to become best friends or to make a positive impact, I’m here for it all.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music: My soul dances to the rhythm of Reggae and the heartfelt strums of Folk music. It’s the soundtrack of my life’s journey, each beat a step, each lyric a story.

🎬 Movies: While I’m still exploring the vast cinematic universe, my weekends are dedicated to the magic of Netflix, the enchantment of Disney, and the action-packed world of Marvel. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be “Monsters University”—an epic tale that teaches us it’s never too late to dream new dreams and explore different paths. It’s a reminder that life throws curveballs, but with effort and determination, we can be the best versions of ourselves.

📚 Books: Honestly, I’m not one to bury my nose in books, but I’m always open to recommendations that might ignite a newfound love for reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It’s hard to pinpoint just one amazing experience since life has been a tapestry of extraordinary moments. However, if I had to share a story that encapsulates the adventurous moments, it would be the time I journeyed to a secluded island. Not just any island, but one that was alive with the raw power of nature – an erupting volcano in the northern Celebes . The ground trembled with energy, and the sky danced with fiery displays. It was a reminder of how dynamic and vibrant our planet truly is. And as for culinary adventures, I’ve savored the most bizarre street foods that have tantalized my taste buds and challenged my culinary boundaries. So, what’s your flavor of adventure? Ask away, and I’ll share tales that will transport you right into the heart of the action!

Teach, Learn, Share

Cradled in the emerald archipelago of Indonesia, Bahasa flows through my veins as naturally as the rhythmic waves of our seas. It’s the melody of my motherland, and I’m eager to compose a symphony of words with you, teaching you Bahasa and the rich tapestry of Indonesian culture.

As a lifelong learner, my mind is an open book, always yearning for the ink of new knowledge. Whether it’s the vibrant mosaic of new faces, the intricate patterns of cultural exchange, or the undiscovered wonders that lie beyond my horizon, I’m on a perpetual quest for enlightenment.

I invite you to join me in this exchange of wisdom. Let’s share our worlds, from the profound depths of deep conversations to the peaks of enduring friendship. Together, we’ll weave a shared narrative of understanding and camaraderie.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Greetings, future hosts!

I come to you with a passport of immunity, armed with a full suite of vaccinations (Sinovac 2x, Pfizer 2x, and Moderna 2x) that’s as diverse as my taste in food. My college insists on it, and I’ve embraced the call to arms (quite literally)!

Are you ready to embark on a culinary adventure? I’m your willing guide to the rich flavors of Indonesia. Let’s transform your kitchen into a spice-scented haven as we whip up some Nasi Goreng, sizzle some Mie Goreng, or simmer a pot of Rendang – voted one of the world’s most delectable dishes.

And don't worry about the aftermath; I believe in leaving beauty in my wake. Just as a bird cherishes its nest, I’ll ensure your home remains as clean, tidy, and welcoming as it was when I first stepped in. So, open your doors and let’s exchange stories, and perhaps a recipe or two. I’m just a ‘please accept me’ away from being the perfect guest!
