Hello 🙋

I'm Elizabeth, from Indonesia and am a veterinarian. In the past, I was happy when I could cure animals, particularly orangutans. 🐵🦧
But now, I am obsessed with science and working with 🦟🦟🦟

I grew up in a small town called Magelang. It is a small town in central Java, Indonesia. My house is located approximately 20 minutes by car from Borobudur Temple (a famous Buddhist's Temple). I grew up with Javanese culture since I was a kid.

I might be shy when we first meet, but once we get to know each other, please apologize if I become talkative.

After I graduated from the university, I went to Berau, East Kalimantan, to work in the middle of nowhere. It was literally nowhere—no signal, no internet, far away from the city, no public transportation. But it was definitely an unforgettable experience!!
Then I moved and worked in Bali. I really love this island. I love the local people, food, beaches, culture, temples, etc. I will never get enough of Bali!! ⛱️🍃
And then moved back to Borneo to work at orangutan rescue center again !! I just love them so much ^^

I lived in Bangkok for around 5 years. Thailand has been a wonderful place to live. Despite the traffic and pollution, I love everything in this city, including the food, even though it burns my lips 🥵
Recently, moved to Vientiane and wish to meet people here. Please message me if you are around!!

I love to explore a new place, be lost in the middle of nowhere, go for a hike, or just chill in a park. On top of that, I like to meet new people. I do believe there are always nice people out there, and I can learn new things from them. 🤩☺️ ✨

Cheers! 🥂

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, because we can share a lot of stories and learn from each other!
I want to make friends around the world and tell them the beauty of Indonesia! Plus I am excited to tell you how good Indonesian food is!! 😋

Interests

I fell in love with Orangutan at first sight and stay in love with them ❤❤ Did you know that Bornean and Sumatran Orangutans are endangered species? Where the land is cleared due to palm oil plantation.
We are not living alone on this earth, and they deserve to have a better life.
Let's save our earth and this amazing creature.
