About Me

First time I do Couchsurfing when I was working in Malaysia, 2 years in Malaysia I received so much love from local ppl and travelers as well. They displayed a kind of hospitality I'd never experienced from strangers before. So, I promise will do the same thing when I come back to my country.

I'm an avid reader with an insatiable appetite for exploring foreign cultures and histories. There's something magical about diving into the pages of a book and immersing oneself in different worlds, be it through fiction, non-fiction, or even poetry. The written word has the power to transport us to places we've never been, introduce us to fascinating characters, and ignite our imaginations. I am so boring huh? Lol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Apart from my love for reading, I find immense joy in learning about the diverse cultures and histories that shape our world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped victims of Merapi volcanic eruption in 2010, with my friends when i was in the university. We distributed cloths, foods, and anything they need.
The mountain is seen as sacred in the region, seen as the home of ancient Javanese spirits. Villagers believe that they will be safe when staying at home even though the government has set the house they were in a dangerous area, they refused to be evacuated in temporary camp. In a result we periodically send food to them to a location that can not even be accessed by rescuer.. I love the children there, they are so polite, they are fighters. They need to ride a bike or WALK down from homes (up the mountain) for an hour to reach their school.
