I like to think that I'm friendly, open-minded and easy-to-please. I love adventure and being active. I love to travel, meet new people and learn so I'm excited to be involved in couchsurfing.

My travel mantra (which I will tell myself whenever I get into a tricky situation on the road): "Stay calm, be kind, ask questions" It works every time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done a bit of surfing in the past; mostly in Java, Indonesia. Now I live in Bandung, West Java in a small humble house with a couple cats and a couple dogs and my beau who is here a couple days each week. Could consider hosting someone who wouldn't mind the pets, the modest accommodations and the location (north Dago).

Music, Movies, and Books

All sorts of books, shows, and movies, as long as they're a bit smart. Any music with a good beat will please. I love to dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked across the United States one summer with a non-profit called Bike & Build and that was an awesome experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach English (USA) as a day job but I also can help beginners to learn Indonesian. Lately I've been beefing up on dog psychology/training so we could talk about that... or how to make good oatmeal cookies... Otherwise my background is in psychology.
