Actually I wanted to be a professional Footballer because back in the 90's, I watched Italian football league from TV and both Gianluigi Buffon was still on his prime phase of their career.

Just like any other kids, I want to be just like them. But when I was in JHS, I noticed that I don't have a chance to become a footballer as my lung capacity isnt good for this career.

Upon one night, I didn't turn off my TV after watching football game just like I did the other day, and then I saw some journalist interviewed him.

In my mind I was thinking "That's going to be great If I become a football journalist, I can meet footballer/coach and others and get insights from them" so there it goes how I got "stuck" into this world.. Cheesy right?

Quick forward to 2017, I was accepted by University of Messina to continue my study here in Italy and I graduated from there last year. Now I am looking forward what the future holds for me!

I also have an interest in film/documentary making hoping that in the future I could make one!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been working as a football journalist for approximately 2 years (internship not included) and I hope it still counting for many-many years.

United ), Jesper Blomqvist (AC Parma), Unai Emery (Sevilla Head Coach), Siem de Jong (Tottenham Hotspur), Frank de Boer (Ajax Amsterdam Head Coach), Jacksen F. Tiago (Penang FA Head Coach), Pieter Huistra (former Ajax Amsterdam Assistant Manager now working as Technical Director of Indonesia national football team) and Imam Nahrawi (Minister of Youth and Sport of Indonesia)

As for Local/Indonesia sports personality, I've been interviewing Susi Susanti, Alan Budikusuma, Ricky Subagja (Olympic Gold Medalist for Badminton) , Bambang Pamungkas, Ponaryo Astaman, Nova Arianto (Famous Indonesian footballer) etc.

Now I am working as a freelancer where I managed some football accounts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn lots of languages because somehow it will help you in the future. Now i'm practicing my Italian and English by myself so it will be great if i meet the native speaker for those languages. Do you have a problem to speak Bahasa Indonesia ? Or do you want to know more about Indonesia? Well you can count on me :)
