Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Traveling for me is not just visiting one place or another, capture the best shot and go back home. Traveling is a life journey, not only to see a new place, but also to feel new experience, in touch with locals, and share anything we could share. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I got alot of good friends from CS. I'd learned alot of experiences either. Its always difficult to pick which one is the best! I always believe that the world is to big to live alone and to know just one place.
Music, Movies, and Books
I read alot in my life, like alot alot 😬 so its always difficult to pick up which one is the best shot. But I mostly collecting some fantasy fiction, history, comic, and books about culinary journey. My personal taste of music are jazz, soul, r&b or something enchanted for my ear and heart. I like to brows on Youtube, looking for movies from all over the world because its another way to know other cultures.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Teaching women self defense around Indonesia. It was such a meanfull traveling trip for me and I would like to repeat it again one day.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: Indonesian traditional martial art (pencak silat), women self defense, Indonesian culture, Indonesian and javanese languange, Indonesian cuisine, Indonesian songs. Learn: other cultures and language.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm a book's person, I talk about book like I talk about myself, so if you have a curiosity about how books industry in Indonesia and Asia actually work, I could share with you.
My Interests
Book is my biggest interest, I loved to read, write, and collecting books, especially fiction, comics, and historical books. But, no, Im not that kind of nerd-bookworm-weirdo-in-glasses like sometimes you watch on movie, that kind of bookworm doesn’t really exist in real life 😄 I also love to cook so I can share some Indonesian recipe or other Asian recipe.
