About Me

My work is closely related to social innovation, so if you want to have a very happy discussion on that area, I am really glad to do that. Besides, I co-founded hepi circle, a start-up that focus to support easy and affordable less-plastic living by delivering daily products in reusable packaging and selling affordable alternatives to plastics.

Moreover, I like to talk about cultures, interfaith (Buddhist in particular), or just random things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just like a live in program in a village, it is really nice if we can have the live in program in another country that has different culture and habit so we can understand more about the world other than our own and it is really nice to have someone know about the place I visit so we won't get lost.

Likewise applied if I am hosting someone.

Interests

  • culture
  • innovation

Music, Movies, and Books

My fav movie is The Pursuit of Happiness, Zootopia, anything drama and sweet animations.

Pop music is always easy to listen, that's why i like it. I think I don't have any special preference on the song as long as it carries good lyrics and easy to listen.

Lately, I like reading business and innovation books. Besides, I like to read Buddhist teaching transkrips.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hike Mt Semeru, the highest peak in Java Island, Indonesia. It is the most challenging journey I've ever had. I had to fight with myself to reach the peak.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Indonesian cultures, a bit of business and social innovation.

Learn: Anything!

Share: Laughter, my ears ( I am a very good listener), stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In our country, we have the habits of bringing something when we visit someone. So, of course, I will bring something local for the host. I mean real thing and it usually something you can eat or drink,

Plus, I can share the cost of food or some cleaning. I am good at cleaning, but not so good at tidying if your benchmark is Marie Kondo. Haha.

Countries I’ve Visited

India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
