Originally from Indonesia, moved to Taiwan for my study in architecture when pandemic hit in 2020. After some period of struggling with the language barrier, at the moment I've been working in this country for over 5 years in this lovely and safe country.

I'm approachable, accommodating, calm yet lively, and loves deep conversations. A good listener and loves to build a connection over a tea or warm meal. I enjoy a casual stroll around the city, observing the urban design and how it shapes the way people behave. I'm also into hikes or trekking, some slightly spontaneous adventure. When I'm home, I enjoy reading, writing, singing with guitar, and occasionally do some drawing or painting (pencils, color pencils, and watercolors).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From my previous experiences, I eventually came into a conclusion that, regardless all those magnificent landscapes one country can offer, the most rewarding and satisfying experience lay tightly on the genuine and mutually nurturing connections with people I met.
