P.S.: once we know each other well, you'll notice right away that I'm a hugger!
P.P.S.: I always wanna be a writer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS in 2012, thinking that this might be useful during my internship in Germany in 2014. travelling around European countries would be more delightful if I could spend the trips with locals. (un)fortunately I traveled with my friends and it's kinda hard to find a host to host several people at one time; and hard to compromise on the activities we wanted to do.

now back on CS! currently looking for locals in Melbourne VIC, Australia during my F1 trip in 2019. I have been to F1 in Singapore in 2017 and I found it wonderful! looking forward to attending Australian GP 2019 (season opener, baby!)

unfortunately I'm still living with my parents and don't have spare room/couch to offer other CSers :( but please do message me if you're in Jakarta! I'd be more delighted to take you around!

Interests

Football/Soccer: I'm a big fan of FC Bayern and Germany NT. have been a fan since UEFA Champions League Final in 1999. watched the final match and witness FC Bayern lost to Manchester United; yet I fell in love with FC Bayern and has been a fan since. also rooting for Germany NT in every sports branches! first footballer (and my first role model) is Oliver Kahn. my favourites are basically all Germany NT players who play for FC Bayern :p

Basketball: used to play this during primary school :) my favourite is Jeremy Lin!
adoring Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Qi, Abudushalamu Abudurexiti, Christian Standhardinger.

Travelling: clearly this doesn't need any explanation. I've always been wanting to solo travel. let's see if I could make it before settling down!

F1: one of my cousins introduced this sport in 2001; his favourite is Michael Schumacher (another German! yay!) but didn't really find it cool. I occasionally check the race result since then. my interest peaked when I found Nico Hülkenberg drove for Williams in 2010. this guy is awesome! sad he hasn't found the ideal team to accommodate his skill :(

Photography: I'm always amazed at people who could capture things I don't even think about! I love that those photos speak something to the viewers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had no idea that volunteering would be that great until I join one organization. I only translate things from English to Indonesia and vice versa, and I find it amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Indonesian? Swimming?
English?

Learn: I'd love to sharpen my German; and please do teach me bunch of things because I love to learn new things!

Share: my favourite books, films, music, food; hahaha! idea, experience?
