I am a consultant on a sabbatical year. I like to approach different kind of travel experiences such as engage with the local, meet new friends from other countries, and other valuable insights. Even though I have signed up Couchsurfing from years ago, but I never use it until I started my gap year journey. I am amazed about how CS works. I travel solo and find this app really useful to connect traveler from all over the world.

I wrote travel blog too. My mission is to inspire people to travel more and share some traveling tips and information.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in foreign languages such as Bahasa Indonesia and Chinese Mandarin, I can teach you those. I can also share my travel experiences, even though some of you have more travel experiences than me. But I hope I can bring some value to you.

Through CS, I would like to learn more about different cultures.
