CURRENT MISSION

Immersing in a unique experience with the host and locals I visit.

ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm Evan, I'm currently living in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Humanities issues excite me the most, especially related to history, culture language immersion. I'd love to visit new places to expand my perspective, enhance my connection, exchange my knowledge with others and explore our only planet for a new experience in my very short life. See you around soon!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a polyglot. I used to help people teaching a lessons/classes in Indonesian and Dutch. I'm also a certified local tourist guide and tour leader by the Jakarta Tourism Board for Dutch/English speaking guests.

I'm also actively taking part of volunteerism and activism related to human rights, especially LGBTI and HIV/AIDS issues in Indonesia and Asia. If you share the same interest or looking to learn about the issues, I'd be happy to share some insights with you. :)
