Hi, my name is Erwin. I live in the world's city of Batik, Pekalongan, Batang. It is located in Central Java, and is a hub for Indonesian culture. About 1 hour from Semarang airport (the capital city of central Java), it is in the ideal location to get to and travel from.

I am a founder of Seattle, a non-profit organization, which aims to train the local communities and rural villages not only in language, but also Batik and Agriculture - Preserving our cultural heritage whilst improving education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I invite volunteers to teach and motivate the students and communities about other culture, whilst learning some of our own. The students here like to learn other languages, especially English, and we need inspirational characters to teach them not only the language, but also that they need to work hard throughout their education, and achieve great things.
