Hey there! I am an Indonesian who currently studies classical violin performance at the Music University Detmold. Performing on the stage have been my passion since i was young. That also includes meeting new people. Being a travelling musician means being able to adapt easily in any kinda situation. New concert halls, new audience, etc. That makes me wanna involve myself spending time overseas in another country, hosting an exchange participant in my own place so they can learn about how i live, and i can learn about their life in their own country.

It seems to me that making new friends from different cultures can be very rewarding, cuz i can broaden my ideas and ways of thinking. I can learn new skills and gain new knowledge, and feel empathy for people who live in a different place to me, but who are still part of the one human race. 

There is no reason for me not to be an open-minded person😎. I was born and raised in a catholic family(which makes me a catholic too), i went to an american school in indonesia, i still speak a traditional language(javanese), my close friends are very international, and guess what....i am a gay myself and i am proud of being me! How can it be possible for me to be an intolerant person? I love differences among people!
