I am living in Malang, East Java but I was born and grew up in Sumba Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur (even mostly Indonesian people don't know about this beautiful place).

It's beautiful island actually, there's so much beach there and some foreign people always come there day by day. They usually live in Nihiwatu Hotel (you can google it).

My hometown still hold the traditional culture, very very traditional. Have you ever about pasola? Or Wulla po'du? It's their tradition that they really hold it until now. That's culture little bit creepy for some people, but actually it's really great. You should watch it by yourself.

I'm a good cook (that's what my friends said). I like to cook, Indonesian food and sometimes I tried some western food (of course the easy one).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make more friend, sharing about my culture and other country culture. Because I'm living in between 2 city right now. There's so much things to share. And maybe you can share me your country special food.

I have desire to travel the world but it's seems never happened. So, I wish I still can enjoy the world by sharing them with you.

Interests

I'm interest in food, I want to try to cook other country food. So, if you like to share me some recipe from your country I would be very happy.

I also like to do some crafting and DIY, I think that's the only thing I am good at. My hands totally now what to create.

Music, Movies, and Books

- I like folk, indie, country. These kind of song really make me feel calm and enjoy every beat. Oh, I also like the beatles.

- I read romance, comedy, mistery, detective, magic all kind of fiction. I don't like to read something like politic, history, biography it's boring for me.

- My taste on movies as same as my taste on book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Solo trip to Yogya (It's not amazing, anybody can do that. But for me, I've did something I never did before and out of my comfort zone)

- Watching Pasola from near. It's amazing when you saw people ride their horse and threw some spear.

- Took an escape while on transit in for 8 hours in Bali. It's really aamazing to enjoy Bali while you are in rush.

- Rode a bus to other city, alone. (Because I always get carsick and it's really bad until now).
