About Me

I already moved to Jakarta. (June, 2020)

NOTES:
- Before sending request, please take your time to read my profile, and make it personal. I know, we know, everyone knows if it’s a copy-paste request or not. |
- I will respond as quick as I can. Never gonna leave my guest/host hanging. |
- When I decline your request, I promise you, I will leave a reply. For me, someone who just declined requests and didn't even give a single word, is a bit rude and arrogant. |

CURRENT MISSION :
- To always find my inner peace |
- To be more compassionate and open-minded to others |

ABOUT ME :
I joined since September 2018 (newbie here). 🙋🏿‍♂️
I drink coffee every morning (rituals). ☕️
I collect and listen to vinyl (old and new). 📀
I always try to capture good memories (still practicing photography). 📸
I like spicy foods (so Asian). 🌶

PHILOSOPHY :
"Peace in the world relies on individuals finding inner peace." – Dalai Lama ⛩ |
"Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument." – Desmond Tutu 👼🏿

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING :
I am open to any kind of participation: sharing places, foods, stories, experiences, joy and laugh. |

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE :
I used to solo-travel before I know about Couchsurfing. I took many long-haul trips by myself, and everything was on schedule. But when I used CS for the first time, everything was changed. My trip was based on how I interacted with the people I met, and on how I handled the situation around, so sometimes I changed my well-planned itinerary to get some better and crazier journey after I met the other travelers. That’s a new concept and experience for me and I love to try again. |

Music, Movies, and Books

You need to be specific so I can answer such questions. |
Like: what genre, what year, which musician/director/author. |
I surf Pitchfork and Metacritic. |
So I eat all genres of music, movies and books. Try me! |

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I choose not to write down my past travel experience as amazing things here.
I was involved in many charities before, and that’s amazing for me because I gave back to my community.
I hope someday I can do voluntary things to help people or environment while traveling. That would be amazing, and I will put it on this column.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you Bahasa (Indonesian language) and everything about our culture if you are interested. |

Learn: Photography (I can also be your free “photographer” while we tour around). I’m interested in learning Spanish and Mandarin. |

Share: Anything I can share: places, foods, stories, experiences, joy and laugh.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First, I will ask my host if there's anything they want me to bring from my country. As my offering, I can bring coffee beans if they love coffee (Indonesia has some best coffee bean in the world). Likewise, I could help you cooking, shopping or cleaning as well.
