Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

12-Days Solo Trip to Taiwan. A crazy roller coaster journey, since it's my first trip abroad, and by myself. I prepared everything and i could not be more satisfied with it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I usually volunteer on teaching jobs for underprivileged kids or orphans in Jakarta, where i would teach anything from English to math or simply just to play games and outdoor activities.

I share my profession with other elementary students during "Inspiration Day" by Kelas Inspirasi organization in 2016, where i introduce my finance industry to young children age 7 - 13 in SDN 06 Cijantung.

I also share the importance of family in "Sahabat Anak Jamboree", conducted by Sahabat Anak Organization in 2017, where i work with underprivileged kids near Pondok Ranji train station. I became a brother for 2 kids and i teach them about sex education and the importance of education and family protection, through simple activities and games.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What can i share? An abundance of activities!

I can share famous culinary places in my neighborhood, take you to museums and local heritage, or my favorite coffee shops to blog, or we can do crazy activities like diving!
