Hey, Ariella here! I was born in Surabaya, Indonesia, and I live in this lovely city. I used to live in Singapore for 3 years to study, and it was a great experience. Now I work full-time in an international college in Surabaya.

I love travelling (even though I don't get to travel often due to time-constraint), meeting new people and cafe-hopping. I enjoy listening to music too, especially K-Pop and EDM.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love making new friends from all over the world, because I believe that cultural exchange is important in today's society. I hope to meet a lot of new people and expand my networking. I would love to learn something new in every time I visit another city / country.

Interests

I love listening to music so much that I can't miss a day without it. My favorite genres are K-Pop and EDM. I've been to an EDM music festival in Singapore called ZoukOut and it was simply amazing! I hope one day I can attend Tomorrowland and Coachella haha.

I can't live without food (duh)! I love to do a cafe-hopping during my free time. I enjoy having a me-time with my laptop in a coffee shop and meeting my cliques over a cup of coffee.

Music, Movies, and Books

As stated earlier, I love K-Pop and EDM, so I guess I don't need to elaborate more.
Movies? My favorite genres are musical and drama. Any other genre is fine as long as it's not horror and thriller (I'm a scaredy cat heh).
As for books, I don't really read novels. However, I enjoy reading poetry books. My favorite writers are Lang Leav, Michael Faudet, Beau Taplin, Rupi Kaur, Atticus and Najwa Zebian. I adore every word of their works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living abroad without my parents hehe

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't think I can provide a room in my house as all rooms there are occupied, but I'm definitely up for a meetup whenever I have free time (and maybe I can tour you around my hometown haha).
