About Me

I live in Germany. I love dancing salsa and lindy-hop, listening to Jazz, Swing, and Techno, bouldering and climbing, baking cakes, visiting the museums, playing board games, and collecting stamps, toys and finger puppets. I am a story teller. I bake the best cheesecake in the world. Haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did my civil service as a volunteer teacher in a remote area in Indonesia. It was in the middle of the forest, I served the children there who never go out of their forest. I was there for 1 year. It was an amazing experience without the phone, the internet, and electricity. Somehow, I survive.

Once I was involved in a forum in Egypt together with Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Butros-Butros Ghali, the Queens and the Kings from many countries.

I survived from getting lost in the forest on a mountain in Indonesia during the night. One of the scariest moment in my life. I was thinking that I will never be saved. Every path that I took just lead me to a deeper darker forest. I was saved by 3 other hikers who heard I was crying help.

I went to Zapatista Rebellion group in San Cristobal de las Casas in Mexico without speaking any Spanish. Somehow they welcomed me very well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you practicing your Indonesian if you already know some. I can teach you how to cook some Asian food and we can bake cake together.
