Hi! My name is Indah, currently 22 years old. I'm an International Relations student at Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia. I'm now on my final thesis to get my bachelor degree. Besides college, I am also an intern at one of Indonesia's fashion illustrator.

My desire is to travel. I tried as best as I can to use my saving only, that's why I haven't been to many places. But, I have a long list of places I wanna visit.

Beside from visiting new places, I love having new friends. My dad once told me that it's important to have many connections. I can talk to many people, without boundaries. Age, sex, topics, are not important. I love having company because I can learn from them and hopefully they can learn something new and fun things from me.

I also love art. I do painting and doodling since very little. I'm not that talented but somehow doing art makes me feel relief and peaceful. I'm also into videography and photography. I'm still learning, though, but I always make a video about my trip. I enjoy scenery too, that's why I travel. It's not a big deal for me to walk. Not only nature, I also love cities especially their lights. I also enjoy cooking and trying new food. Lastly, I was a barista for 6-months at the local coffee shop, it would be fun if we could talk and have a great coffee time together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet local people. I believe that locals know the best. That's why I want to stay with locals. Talk to them and learn from them. I know they will give me the best solutions and recommendations. I also want to do public diplomacy about Indonesia. I want many people know more things about Indonesia.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to mostly all kind of musics but my favourite singer is John Mayer. My favourite band is Oasis (I'm so sad that they're no longer together).
I watch every kind of movies but horror is my least favourite. Till now, my favourite movie is Across The Universe, simply because my favourite actor was in there: Jim Sturgess.
I'm a bookworm. I read all kind of books from fiction to nonfiction. I love reading about mysteries and legends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Cambodia for 30-days and being as a volunteer teacher there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share each other's experiences. Giving each other tips, recommendations, or even solutions. I like brainstorming with people and share new ideas.
Since I want to introduce Indonesia to many people, I teach my host and my guest at least one type of Indonesian dish.
