About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Starving to learn everything in anywhere

ABOUT ME

First of all : do not hesitate to send me a request to stay, then please kindly read my profile and give me a brief introduction of yourself :)

I used to be a very shy girl, it was changed when I started my senior high school and getting involved in various organizations. Since then I push my self more to jump out of my comfort zone, things about meeting new people, doing the talk, sharing ideas are my favorite, or I may say that I'm able to do it.

I could be a very good and patience listener, or I could be a very talkative person, I don't mind sharing my perspective of life even it's an unusual cultures or taboo one. I'm being very open with every person I just know.

Traveling lately isn't only about visiting new places, it's more likely to get to know myself by meeting new people, places could be boring but meeting people, talking, sharing our ideas about something are more contagious, and to be honest it's extremely tempting. I would miss some place because of the people, because of the memory that we built with people. Or it could be about traveling to places with the good companions in a best time.

Truly love the idea about life is a learning process, bad experiences will teach, good experiences make me more grateful about the beauty of this universe.

PHILOSOPHY

"every person is a teacher, and any places is a school"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting my self engaged in new atmosphere, new environment will make me feel better. Meeting people from variety backgrounds is always feel amazing. I'm in love with the idea we open our arms to make friends for life, to get to know each other, to talk, to laugh, to feel the differences, at the end travelling for me is a healing process, and to appreciate more about our existence on this planet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a good person is enough to make this world worth living.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I'm in Malang that would be :

I live with my cousin in a small house in a quiete area , there are two rooms inside the house, kitchen, shared bathroom. The house is not located in the middle of the city, it's 20 minutes away by motorbike. I also have a bicycle, just feel free to cycle it.

If I'm free I can show you around, if you like hiking I can take you experiencing it in Malang, most of tourism places are located in Batu and it's about 35 minutes by motorbike, I can help you to manage your trip during your stay in here.
Or you just need to lay down at my place and do the talks, that would be nice also. I try as best as I can to make you comfortable during your stay.

if I'm in Lombok that would be :

I live with my family in here, 6 persons of us. You'll get your private bedroom. I can cook you our traditional cuisines. I was born and raised in Lombok, so I'm potentially know every single thing in here. Feel free to spread out your curiosity :)
