About Me

I've moved around a lot in Indonesia, from Papua the most east part of Indonesia, Maluku the Moluccas, Bali the Island of 1,000 gods, Jogjakarta the city of students, to Lombok the Island of 1,000 mosques.

I guess, moving around makes me who I am today...bubbly, easygoing, daring, friendly and curious :D

I work as a project officer at an international NGO in the beautiful island of Lombok. Basically, I go to small, remote village and build relationships with the locals and empower them to take better care of themselves and their family. I engage children in psychosocial activities to build their resiliency. Each day is very unique when I go to see these people! I'll tell you why and how once we meet ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends and I spent a whole night at the shore of Sadranan beach, two hours away from Yogyakarta. It was so dark and we could only hear the waves coming after another. When we looked up into the sky, there were MILLIONS of bright stars and there were also shooting stars! It was gorgeous.. nature is awesome.

Surviving the worst winter in the last 70 years in South Korea on January 2010. Wooozah!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Indonesian, a traditional dance from Aceh: The Saman Dance! Waltz, Chacha, the basics to play guitar, cooking indonesian food or just cook you indonesian food ;)
