About Me

I guess like everybody else here, I'm addicted to globe trekking and constant movement. I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. I left my hometown and moved to Scotland a while back ago for work. I quit my job in 2015 to pursue my passion in animal welfare and environmental conservation. It brought me to Iceland and Galapagos Island where I volunteered with local organisations. Nowadays I settle in Arequipa, Peru and run a backpackers hostel. I'm a positive person, always try to see the best in everyone. At home, I enjoy a good read and chill with my cats. I hike and travel as much as I can in my spare time. I like to laugh out loud a lot and sometimes I giggle for no reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to see the new places not just as a visitor or tourist, but through meeting new people, cultural exchange, to gain new perspectives, and hopefully make a long lasting friendships.
