I have always been fascinated about the world and its different culture since I was a kid. I still can vividly remember sitting on my grandparents' huge brown sofa and flipping encyclopedias. I also still could remember some trips I had with my family even it was just only a trip to the park on my birthday. Those are actually the things I enjoy the most in life.

Being in my 30s now I still am feeling this burst of happy energy every time I read books/ watch videos / talk to people about different countries' landscapes, nature, people, and cultures. Even just walk in the park and observe the world goes by (as I am also always curious to know how people see the world and life in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to host / meet like-minded people who can have meaningful conversations, sharing meals / drinks over a random conversations.

As I am just lazily getting myself into Freeletics, I would really appreciate if I can meet people who has experience in that. I would also be very grateful if I meet with kind human beings who are willing to share their knowledge about vegetarian / vegan recipes in my kitchen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I guided and translated for 20 Hong Kong students to visit labors in Surabaya, the Lapindo mud-flood in Sidoarjo, street kids and apple farmers in Malang. The awestruck moment was when seeing them bonding without communicating well because of the language barriers; seeing them crying because of the local people's inspiring story about fighting for their life. I still get all choked up when I tell people about it sometimes. Language of the Universe speaks louder than any language.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like listening to people's stories / dreams / struggles / successes. I love to learn about other languages and culture through experience it or listening the native telling me about it.

I would like to share some deep connection and just great time exploring the Island.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge about the island, Indonesia, or Indonesian language. I would also be happy to share my knowledge about vegan / vegetarian stuff.
