About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around the globe!

ABOUT ME

I recently move back into Indonesia after almost 9 years been living in Europe and currently work as Conservation Programme Director at an amazing NGO focusing on Planetary Health located in West Borneo, Indonesia. Describing myself as talkative, caring, trustworthy, hardworking, ambitious, outgoing, and fun person to be around with. Aside from being passionate about plants, forest, genetics and research which lead me to be involved in several prestigious projects inside and outside Indonesia, I also interested in culture, people and language. In my free time, I love to travel to different places I never seen before, read a book, or simply joined volunteering work around the area where I live. I also run a small local community meeting where I had a chance to promote and teaching English to my fellow colleagues outside the office hours.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you judge someone else, it doesn't define who they are, it defines who you are"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am interested in meeting diverse people from a different nation, background, culture, etc. and Couchsurfing is one of the platforms for me to make it all happens.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good as I meet lots of interesting people through this website. For me, it's not just about "free accommodation" but more than that, I've learned how to treat people well like I wanna be treated well too.

Interests

I love travelling and has been blessed with the opportunity to visit many countries and experience different cultures. I won't stop and plans to go to more this year. Being ambitious, honest and persevere is my life motto! I am passionate about animals, nature, forest, buildings, culture, science and people. I love to cook good foods and enjoy it with good friends and I always looking to meet people who are interesting, have a sense of humour and most importantly are a genuinely good hearted person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving my country and my comfort zones to pursue my International career and my childhood dream to live abroad.

Participated in many International conferences, talks and workshop where I've got to speak to so many people and I just felt like I can really make an impact and I had so much fun.

and stopped underestimating myself!
