Hi,

I am currently in Madrid as an exchange student until May from Purdue University, Indiana, USA. I am originally from Indonesia, but have lived in Texas, California, and Luanda, Angola. I am studying Electrical Engineering with a minor in Film Studies. Travelling is one of my biggest passions - I have been to over 20 countries! My hobbies include amateur filmmaking, music (guitar and singing), basketball, watching movies, going to concerts and trying various traditional dishes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people and learn new cultures; make new memories with interesting people from all paths of life.
