I am currently working in Jakarta, not originally from here but have been living here since 2017. I'm staying in studio apartment relatively near from jakarta airport. preferably to host during weekends but lets see.

I travel every now and then. was idle from traveling from 2020 to 2021 due to covid. taiwan, japan, india or nepal are next countries to visit in my bucketlist.

fully vaccinated + got my booster shot already

音乐、电影和书籍

i love sort of chill ambiences songs with beautifully written lyrics.
I am not very literate with musical technicalities and terms, but among my favorite international artists are sufjan stevens, novo amor, kings of convenience, and vansire.
i also love 90s-2000s indonesian songs.

i read tolkien works, and some mainstream philosophical books.
