Overview
About Me
I just got back to CS after a 5 year break so a lot of my profile is outdated but I tried to give it a quick update.
The short resume of who I am and why I'm on CS: I'm a fresh graduate in computer science that got married not too long ago. Trying to do a last burst of travelling and exploring the world before finally settling down. I used CS a bunch while travelling around Asia and still talk to many of the friends I made. In fact, a few of them even came to my wedding.
Having a free place to stay is nice but having a friend wherever you travel is the real benefit of CS to me. I'd love to host but unfortunately it's impossible for me to do so at the moment. Hopefully one day I'll be in a position to give back.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love travelling but so far I've mostly kept it in north america where I already had friends and family
I'm planning a trip in Taiwan and Indonesia at the end of August 2017 and would love to meet some local people to show me around! --- COMPLETED!
I've had some amazing experiences in Asia and I've met a lot of genuine people during my summer trip... so much, that I will be travelling to Indonesia for a second time this coming December! --- COMPLETED!
I'm back once more in Indonesia and this time it's not for a simple little trip.. I will be studying Bahasa Indonesia in Surabaya for 1 year and hope to explore the country and its culture even deeper than before! --- COMPLETED!

Music, Movies, and Books
I'll usually play the top 40 of the moment but nothing is more relaxing than some good ol' rap.
I'm big on any movie/show that has zombies in it. Otherwise I enjoy action movies just as much as the next guy.
I rarely read fiction books, I prefer when it is based on a true story or historical event

I've hiked mount Mount Merapi (Summer 2017)
I've hiked Ijen Crater's (Winter 2018)
