About Me

I think my life is like Russian novel -- it takes 200 pages of struggling with the character before one can start enjoying things. And yeah right now I'm on pages 201.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's by coincidence.
Basically I've got a plan to travel to China with my friend.
But something happen, and I need to travel alone.

I see this site and I find it very appealing because you can stay with locals, explore their culture and have a chance to make new good friends.

Interests

Something like Sub-Saharan African problem.
And find the meaning of life.

  • culture
  • books
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

My fave books written by Mitch Albom, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Soren Kierkegaard, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Erich Fromm, and Don Rosa.

Favorite movies: Shawnshank Redemption, Click and sometimes another Adam Sandler film, all rags to riches story(Rocky, Slumdog Millionaire, etc), and box office movies (it's important for our social life, right?)

TV show? Off course it's the chronicle of mighty Heisenberg! Going to the edge of universe with Cosmos, And yeah like the most guy you know I love Game of thrones.

A lot of songs from love and peace era and anything sounds good according my lovely ear.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling from Jakarta - Hong Kong - Shenzhen - Guilin -Yangshou -Guilin again -Hangzhou - Shanghai - Xitang - Shanghai - Hongkong - Jakarta in one week. Helped by wonderful and nice people from Couchsurfing! And made a lot of good friends in my journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

II learned everything happens for a reason. Sometimes you can't see the meaning of hardship you're going through.
And I believe you can always find people that are really good at heart.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share our worldview together, trying to see the world from different perspective and still enjoy it. And we can talk and discuss about Indonesian culture, social, and politic.
