Coffee first thing in the morning.

Sarcastic and non-PC.

A better listener than a talker... the opposite after a couple of drinks.

Nocturnal. Socially awkward .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because this is the best way to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly the old ones. Barely know anything that came out after 1998.

Film: French, British, Scandinavian and everything by Francois Truffaut, Ken Loach, Yorgos Lanthimos and Ursula Meier. And Monty Python. And Ricky Gervais.

Books: the best books I've read so far are The Life and Death of Rochester Sneath and Mungo Park's Travels Into the Interior of Africa. I also love Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Keith Waterhouse and Michael Palin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Forgiven those who hurt.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not qualified in anything, so I don't know about teaching.

But I'm eager to learn anything from anybody.

Can share whatever there are to share. Don't hesitate to give me a shout when you're around Malang or Pasuruan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't cook but am very tidy, low-maintenance, and I don't mind helping or running errands for you if you have a busy schedule.

And I definitely can share:
Good conversation.
Long walk.
Indonesian coffee.
A tale about Indonesia from the most un-Indonesian Indonesian. An outsider angle from an insider, you may say.
