For these few months, I live in a vibrant city in the UK, right in its southern coast, Brighton.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was in hospitality club community when I was in college and later on, I attached to couchsurfing until today. I rarely used Couchsurfing for quite some times because of my work nature which requires me to travel often, especially in the weekend (where many of the travelers request to be hosted). Furthermore, in recent years while in Indonesia, I usually travel with some friends where Couchsurfing might not be the right place :)
However, CS has brought different ideas about the opposite way of fast travel that I used to know, where you define your travel as a list instead of experiencing (because "experiencing" sometimes can mean pricier :) )
So, I wish that the community will thrive and building trust, though it is a challenge, it is still doable.

Interests

I am interested about social movement and social justice and basically new ideas about how to live in a different way. Basically, I am interested to discuss about different ideas, esp. about culture, history, food, people, movies :)
Since I work as social worker for quite sometimes, I always try to seek balance about who I am and what I am doing for living. It is quite hard to find a real cut, but I do want to live consciously and still be relax sometimes!

Music, Movies, and Books

Very much of what many people like! I watched these movies more than 3 times : Home Alone, Harry Potter, and Love Actually. I watched the past series of these movie series more than once: Bigbang theories, HIMYM, and Criminal Minds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and group of friends used to prank others in our group on their birthday with everything they are scared of :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you (if there is enough time) the way I replicate Indonesian dish during my short stay here in Brighton.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Until September/ October, I might not be able to offer my couch, because I live in a 8 student private house where the landlord stay in the house. However, I will be happy if in the short time in Brighton, you would like to have coffee or just want to catch up at Brighton beach. You would know a bit of perspective of what Brighton is for international student like I am! and Brighton has some fantastic local coffee roasters, and you can be my companion to try some of them!
