Mal here!

Hello!
Welcome to my self-summary 😂.

I’m a psychology student who likes to explore many things (ssst, it’s because I don’t know what my passion is).
My MBTI is ENFP.
I’ve lived a nomadic life, but I’m currently staying in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, for my studies. I chose psychology because I hate mathematics. Unfortunately, I still had to face statistics in psychology 👹 arghhhh. But that's okay, because studying psychology allows me to understand myself better—and read your mind… just kidding!

My hobbies:
- Learning languages (German, English, and some language)
- Experimenting with new things
- Exploring new places

I’m not really into reading books, so I listen to podcasts instead. I don’t know why, but when I was a kid, I loved reading novels, personal development books, and magazines. I had a favorite magazine called "Majalah Bobo" from Indonesia. I used to spend all my money on it, and afterward, I had no money left for food 🤣.

Why am I learning German?
It’s just a gut feeling—I don’t know why, but I’m following it. Maybe I’ll go to Germany one day? I hope so!

I once experimented by cutting my hair really short, like a man’s cut. I was curious about how society would react. In Indonesia, it’s still uncommon for women to cut their hair that short, so a lot of people thought I was a lesbian 🤣. But I’m STRAIGHT!

I love meeting people and listening to their stories because I can learn so much and gain new insights. But sometimes, I’ll retreat into my introverted side when I don’t have the energy to socialize hahaha.

Why am I here?
I want to exchange languages, cultures, and other interesting things. It’s fun having penpals!
If you’re in Yogyakarta, I’d be happy to help you explore the city!

Hmmm, what else?
Just ask meee.

Have a nice day ✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect with people from around the world and enrich my travel experiences. I value the opportunity to meet new friends, exchange stories, and learn about different cultures. Hosting travelers allows me to share my own home and provide a warm, welcoming environment while gaining fresh perspectives and building lasting connections. It’s a fantastic way to explore the world, both as a guest and a host, and to engage in meaningful interactions

Interests

I have a diverse range of interests that keep me active and engaged. I’m passionate about playing badminton, and going for walks. Exploring new culinary experiences is also a big part of my life—I love trying out new foods and discovering hidden gems in different places. These activities not only keep me fit but also fuel my curiosity about the world. Whether it's through sports, outdoor adventures, or food exploration, I enjoy staying active and learning new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, i like to hear many genres especially Pop. I have favourite singer, the name is Tulus. Because every single of his songs, that have many deep meaning and easy to listen ☘️.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve had was driving a motorbike from Hanoi to Sapa in northern Vietnam. The journey through breathtaking landscapes and vibrant local cultures was unforgettable. Another highlight was exploring Singapore’s airport, where I slept overnight and took advantage of free tours to discover Singapore in 3 hours.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m eager to teach and share knowledge about psychology, cultural insights, or anything I’ve learned through my travels. At the same time, I love learning from others’ experiences and perspectives. Whether it's exchanging travel tips, discussing cultural nuances, or sharing a meal, I’m excited to engage in meaningful conversations and mutual growth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m happy to offer insights and knowledge in several areas. If you're interested in learning or practicing Indonesian, I can help with that. I also have a background in psychology, so I can share insights into human behavior and mental processes. Additionally, I’m passionate about culture and culinary experiences, and I’d love to discuss cultural nuances or recommend some great food options.
