About Me

Finnish-Chinese-Indonesian who loves arts (and cultures), travels, and really puts interests on humanity, psychology, and cultures.
I'd consider myself pretty chill and 'lazy/slow' (good kind of lazy), as well as fairly inter-cultural, I would say.. Aside of travelling, I live and have lived in Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, and Canada.

I'm Indonesian with mixed-blood from Indonesian, Chinese, & Finnish, but my family (and Indonesians in general) has deep rooted culture from the Dutch, so we're sharing many same thing with Dutch, even our language are similar..
So ya, growing up in an open-minded family, with cultures from here and there, and spend my young adult life outside of Indo, plus travelling locally, that makes me very rich in mindsets and life experiences that money can't buy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new genuine friends for life!! Nothing else.. :)
Had done a few times on meeting new people with different backgrounds.. Friend is global, these days; which is a very good thing! In the era of this globalization, everyone is a global-citizen, in my opinion. Diversity for unity, if I may say. That what makes our lives so rich and colourful!

Travelling has made me learn heaps of things.. and I don't think I would ever give up on travelling and meeting new people from all background from around the world..
Otherwise, I'm not here on CS.
