I am a microbiology student who has developed a strong interest in data analysis and visualization. I am passionate about using data to understand and interpret biological phenomena, and I am constantly seeking new ways to apply my skills to the field of microbiology. I believe that the ability to analyze and visualize data is a powerful tool that can help us make sense of the complex processes that occur within living organisms.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a deep obsession with orchids and fungi. I love learning about these fascinating organisms and exploring their unique biology. When I am not studying or conducting research, I enjoy being outdoors and engaging in outdoor activities such as hiking and camping. I believe that connecting with nature is an important aspect of personal well-being, and I try to make time for outdoor adventures whenever I can. Whether I am exploring new ecosystems or simply taking a walk in my local park, I find that being outdoors helps me connect with the world around me and keeps me feeling grounded and rejuvenated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am coachsurfing because it provides me with a unique and immersive travel experience that allows me to connect with local communities and cultures in a meaningful way. Instead of staying in traditional tourist accommodations, coachsurfing allows me to stay with local hosts who can provide insider knowledge and recommendations, giving me an authentic and personalized experience of the destination I am visiting. This type of travel not only saves money, but it also provides a sustainable and responsible way to travel, as I am supporting local communities and reducing the negative impact of tourism on the environment. Coachsurfing provides me with the opportunity to form genuine connections with people from all walks of life, and I am eager to continue exploring the world through this lens

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've seen was the Ijen Crater in East Java. The breathtaking beauty of the mountains, combined with the diversity of landscapes and biodiversity, made for an unforgettable experience. The turquoise blue sulfuric lake and the glowing blue flames that come from the crater at night were truly breathtaking. The hike to the crater's rim provided stunning views of the surrounding landscape, and the abundance of wildlife, including exotic birds and plants, added to the richness of the experience. The Ijen Crater is a true natural wonder, and I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to witness its beauty firsthand. It was truly one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen.
