Hi, I’m Habyb Palyoga, but you can just call me Habyb. I’m from Indonesia and currently working in Brunei. I love animals, enjoy hiking, and like discussing different ideas. Let’s connect, I look forward to great conversations!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not a big fan of traveling, so couchsurfing is my way of inviting the world to come to me. I believe local knowledge is key, locals have invaluable tips that make experiences more authentic and memorable. They know their area best and can guide us to the hidden gems that really capture the essence of a place.

Interests

I have a deep enthusiasm for exploring new places. I enjoy a range of activities, like swimming, hiking, snorkeling, diving, trying new foods, and exploring cityscapes. These experiences help me fully connect with and appreciate the unique aspects of each destination.

Music, Movies, and Books

In entertainment, I’m drawn to pop music and have a special love for the movie 3 Idiots. For books, I enjoy thought-provoking reads like Atomic Habits by James Clear, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson, and the BSAVA's Book. Each of these has inspired me and enriched my perspective in different ways.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is accepting the unfairness and imperfection in life. This has made me calmer and a better person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share knowledge about Indonesian culture and languages, including Bahasa, Minang, Javanese, Brunei, and some Thai. I may be quiet at first, but once a connection is made, I enjoy having lively and engaging conversations filled with laughter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m open to having meaningful conversations with hosts, where I can share my life story, education, work experience, and other valuable life lessons.

Countries I’ve Lived In
