Earth native citizen, bibliophile, avid 9gagger. I was born in East Kalimantan and already living in Yogyakarta since 4 years ago for study, fun, and to make a bunch of friends. But now, i am working as a journalist in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. I travel occasionally but for now i just travel in Indonesia. I hope someday i could visit other countries, especially Japan, Turkey, Netherland, France, Iceland, and New Zealand. Oh, if you have some leisure time, please kindly check my instagram account @debukosmik. Namaste :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Especially France and Japan because i just love their culture. And in return, i could show you about Jogja and take you to try local cuisine!

I could give you stories and local tips especially about food spots, or perhaps a tour?
