About Me

I'm an outgoing and spontaneous person. I love to do random things and go to random places with friends and don't really mind if we get lost (sometimes getting lost is so much fun).

I have to say that I'm a language freak. One of my dreams is to be able to speak many languages because I believe that language connects people and I feel a really deep satisfaction when I am able to understand foreign languages. So far, I can only speak Indonesian, Malay, English, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and a little bit of Spanish. I'm far from fluent at Chinese (somehow getting worse at it especially after I started learning Japanese), but I think I still can carry simple conversations :) *I'm currently working at a hostel in Tokyo and trying to improve my Japanese. Another goal to accomplish! :D

Culture is another thing that catches my attention. I love to learn new cultures and of course share my culture with people.

I can say that I'm a people person. I love making new friends. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and I find it amazing that every single person I have met has given me lessons to learn. To live is to learn, and the more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and by traveling means meeting new people, learning new culture, sharing knowledge, and offering help to people in need. When you are traveling, especially abroad, it is sometimes hard for you to understand the local language, find your direction, you might get lonely sometimes, and the list goes on. I love the way Couchsurfing works, because it enables you and I to meet people (doesn't matter if they are locals or not). That feeling of knowing that there are people out there that have the same passion to travel and offer help to people that are traveling, creates a sense of belonging in this community. That is pretty much why I'm on Couchsurfing.
