Hi there.. I'm Dimas. I do some lecturing jobs and sometimes listening to peoples problems for being a psychologist. I, now, curently choose Surabaya, East Java, to live. Basically, I'm just a simple person. And a quiet one. But frankly, I am friendly and easy to talk to. I might have a lot of things for you to share if you let me know you better.

If you are now looking at my profile to find a host, I am so sorry, but I cannot host anybody right now. Because here in Surabaya, I live in a small housing with my wife. There are barely rooms to share. But you can try to hit me up if you want. Perhaps my wife and I can discuss something good about it.

If you keep reading this because you are planning or currently in Surabaya, I might be able to guide you to some great spots in the city. Even help you to find a place to stay! Or maybe just hang out. People usually visit Surabaya as a bussiness trip. To be honest, not so many popular landmarks here compared to others city nearby. But again, I can show you some fun places to spend your visit in Surabaya. Most people visit East Java to hike mount Bromo or for Ijen crater tho. Those two are the best in East Java!

Okay, if you still on my profile because apparently we are heading to the same destination or having the same itinerary, please consider me as your travel buddy. We could share some things so we can push our personal budget and expenditure even lower. Sounds fun, right? *or crazy?
One thing for sure, we can share priceless experience during the trip together!

Anyway, if you're here because by any chance you just like to know more about me, don't hesitate to ask me anything, directly, personally. I might be a simple and quiet person. But sure I can offer you more than just a travel buddy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For new friends. Sharing cultural value, seeking local wisdom, looking for travel buddy, and also asking for travel guidance and advice.

Interests

I like quiet place to boost my inner peace. But I don't mind being surrounded by crowd. Sometimes it taught me more about peace.

One thing that interest me the most is probably, a good conversation. It's simply because I really enjoy listening to people. You can literally tell me everything that happened in your life. After all, I am a psychologist.

• geography
• parks
• beach
• sea

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly, I like to drown myself to the same kind of stuffs over and over again. You gotta be bored with what I have in my music playlist.
I love science-fiction movie. But generally, I enjoy everything that has meaningful message in it. And definitely a good direction.
For book, I can spend lots of time reading everything about rocks and geography. Though I don't read much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking up to a mountain top then got soak into the sea within 24 hour was the most amazing thing I've done so far. But hey.. anything can be amazing if you were there to live the moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language and culture of Indonesia. Or maybe we can just share what we had and taught each other about life. As I also value the meaningfullness of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cannot offer host at this moment. I hope that I can host someone in the near future. But maybe I can help you find a cheap hotel/hostel nearby.
