Hi! I’m Iqbal from Makassar, Indonesia. I work in retail and also have experience as a barista and Starbucks Coffee Master ☕. Besides that, I sometimes work as a local tour guide, helping travelers explore Makassar and South Sulawesi — from traditional markets and local food spots to beaches and waterfalls. I love connecting with people from different cultures, sharing stories, and learning new perspectives about life, travel, and coffee! I’m an easygoing and open-minded person who enjoys good conversations, good food, and good vibes.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I joined Couchsurfing because I believe travel is more meaningful when you connect with locals. I love meeting new people, learning about their culture, and sharing mine in return. For me, it’s not just about a place to stay — it’s about friendship, kindness, and cultural exchange.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I enjoy many kinds of music — from chill acoustic and indie to jazz and lo-fi. Sometimes I listen to pop or old-school rock while making coffee. Music keeps the good vibes flowing! 🎧 Books: I like motivational and travel books, also Novel. I enjoy reading things that help me grow or inspire me to see the world from a new perspective. Movies: I love movies with good stories — drama, adventure, or anything that makes you think or feel something real. Sometimes I just watch comedies or travel documentaries to relax.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
One amazing thing I’ve done was brewing coffee on a mountain while watching the sunrise — just me, my moka pot, and a view that made me realize how beautiful life can be. ☕🌅 I’ve also had the chance to guide travelers around Makassar and South Sulawesi, showing them hidden beaches, local food spots, and traditional culture. Every trip teaches me something new — and that’s what makes traveling so special. 🌍✨
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I can teach you how to make great coffee, do latte art, or show you how to brew manually like a pro barista! Learn: I’d love to learn more about different cultures, languages, and travel stories from around the world. Share: I can share local tips about Makassar, Indonesian culture, hidden food spots, and my favorite coffee places.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can offer great company, good conversation, and a delicious cup of coffee — handmade by a barista 😉☕. I love sharing travel stories, culture, and local tips about Indonesia. I’m clean, respectful, and always happy to help around. Whether it’s preparing something simple, giving travel advice, or just having a chill talk, I’ll make sure to bring good vibes to your home.
