CURRENT MISSION
Life is a blessing. I am trying to discovering myself fully and be the best person that I can be every single day :)

ABOUT ME
Hello everyone! My name is Kartika.I'm currently working in Hong Kong though I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. Can be both introvert and extrovert. I am easy going and calm individual who would love to share experiences, inspire and be inspired. Also, I always have the passion to start my own business, work with amazing people to create and build something that matters to the society.

PHILOSOPHY
“You won't change anything significant in the world if you try to be like it. Change comes when you do something different.” - Shannon Alder

I believe that everything great in life starts with an action. I am part of CS, because I am taking that action, to go out from my comfort zone and meet more people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to inspire and be inspired. I believe that everyone have their own version of story to tell either good or bad and with that story, I believe, it could make an impact to someone's life. Being in CS, I would like to know more people, hear more stories, share my stories and therefore, know more about the world I am living in (and possibly, make differences in the world I am living in?) :)
