Hello, I'm Descha or you can simply call me Dea. I was born in Lombok, and now live in Yogyakarta since 2009 as I continue my education here. And until today, I don't have any plan to leave the city. :p

So, whether you planned to go to Yogyakarta or Lombok and need some help, maybe I can give a hand. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I basically like to have new friends and connections from anywhere around the globe and I love to learn about different cultures and languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : Owl City, The Script, Sigur Rós, Daft Punk, any ambient/post-rock/electronic music. But I basically listen to almost any genre.

Movies : I like action-comedy, animated movies, sometimes drama, and less of thriller or horror.

Books : I can't really decide. Too many to be mentioned.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joined a race called #PetualangBeneran (something like Amazing Race but in a smaller scale) held by Samsung Indonesia and won the third place.

Well, it's still something, no? :p

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you to learn Bahasa Indonesia and Javanese. Also to meet the local communities in Yogyakarta.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beside story and experience, I may bring some souvenirs from Indonesia. And I'd gladly host you back if you planned to visit Lombok or Yogyakarta if it's possible. :)
