Hi! Im a journalist student from Stockholm currently living in Malang in east java studying Bahasa Indonesia. I moved here because I wanted to take a break from Stockholm and try something new. Indonesia has been great so far and I have met so many nice people here. I love to travel and experience more of the Indonesian culture and I've already been to Jakarta, Yogjakarta and Bali, and i hope to get to Surabaya soon. I would also like to see the temples around Trowulan.

I'm always looking for new friends or travel companions! Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you're in the Malang area :)

Nama saya Ellen, saya berasal dari Stockholm, Swedia. Sekarang saya tinggal di Malang. Di Swedia saya belajar untuk menjadi journalis, dan saya pikir itu bagus untuk journalis bisa banyak bahasa. Saya datang ke Indonesia di September, dan saya mau pulang ke Swedia di juni atau juli. Saya suka membaca, mendengar musik, bermain gitar dan menyanyi. Saya selalu mencari teman baru! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Edward Scissorhands, thats probably my favourite movie. I'm also a huge fan of the lord of rings and Star wars.

Favourite book is very hard to choose?? Basically everything between John Green and Jane Austen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm trying to learn Indonesian right now I'm always looking for new people to speak the language with! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have zero skills in the kitchen so don't expect any traditional swedish food from me... But of course I'm happy to help with anything that is required, and I'm also an okay guitarist and pianist so if you're interested in music I'm sure we will get along!!
