About Me

Fun, Currious, and Easy Going

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking forward to move out of Indonesia. To be totally stranger in new place. I am thinking of Vietnam, in particular Da Nang as the city where I will lived for next four or five years.

Also, I am curious to meet with new people, listen their stories, and learn something from it. I believes that one is a teacher for another, and I considered myself as a good student.

Interests

I love reading books (history and philosophy) and fictions as well. I used to be a journalist before I left and became a freelance writer. So it's why writing came second in my thought. I love to talk, discuss or exchanging arguments with people. Since I would love to listen and learn how people see something from their stand point. And for sure, I love travelling. I've been to several different countries but I never called it travelling since those trips were paid by my office. But Indonesia, taught me lots about the meaning of travelling.

I am interested with coffee as well. I was a manual brewer for a coffee shop in Indonesia before I decided to pursue my dreams and my passion. I love to brewed coffee for people and listening their feed back. I have one manual coffee tool that often hangout with me every time I travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music in general. Never been a fanatic for any particular style of music. And always curious to listen other people taste on music.

I deeply attached with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "The Age of Adeline", X-Men series, and dozens of cartoon (and or animation) movies. I also loves to watch biopic movies or based on true story kind of movies.

Books? It's too many good books that I've read written by great writers. But I might never read yours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiked from North of Sumatra till the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. I spent three and half months travelling by land (trucks, cars) and by sea. I wanna do something like this next time. For example, from northernmost of Vietnam to the southernmost of Indonesia.
