Hi, everyone!
My name is Khairur Rijal and I would rather be called Rijal instead of Khairur. I am a part-time English trainer in one of the English Training Schools in Pontinanak, West Borneo, Indonesia. Besides, I am currently a senior in Tanjungpura University majoring in English Language and Education Studies. I describe myself as a go-getter and open-minded person who has eclectic soul and contemplative mind. I love foods and playing with babies- this includes watching random cute babies' videos on Youtube. I have been attempting to fill my life with adequate portion of happiness, love, and success. I am passionate about English language and teaching, public speaking, fashion, and culinary. Other than those, I also am passionate about travelling despite the fact that I haven't travelled a lot yet. I also have profound interests towards debate (sharing ideas, to be exact) and meeting and sharing with people. Sport-wise, I love Badminton- this includes watching the tournaments and digging information regarding the players and their performance. I look forward to meeting more awesome people whom I will share a lot of things with and take lessons from :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to widen spectrum of friendship and network of mine and meet new people and share a lot of things which can broaden perspectives of mine towards everything.

Interests

I have started to love English and all the things pertaining to it since I was in junior high school. Therefore, I committed to become an English tutor since 2012 (surprisingly, I have been an English teacher for almost 5 years now). Other than that, I also love meeting and sharing with people, eating foods, and attempting new cuisines.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have not done cool things so far; but visiting other countries might probably be deemed as an amazing thing I have done and will be doing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am able to provide good place to stay in along with comfortable atmosphere and ambience, I will be making sure that the one whom I host will feel good and satisfied with everything I do and serve. Other than that, I also am trying the best I could to take you the authentic places that are located in the city and accompany you to eat traditional foods and cuisines around it. I also can introduce you to interesting things and celebrations that are usually held in the city :)

Countries I’ve Visited

India, Malaysia, Singapore
