Used to live and work in Jakarta, now I move to Yogyakarta with my husband and start a family.
I teach at a private university here and still do my hobbies during spare time. I love to read, write (I write freelance for travel magazines) and travel. Correspondence through postcards has also been my interest (I am an active member of Postcrossing).

I embrace diversity and would love to meet more people from around the world with various cultural backgrounds. I believe that we still share the world with a lot of good people. :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I knew about CS for the first time in 2010. Then in 2011 I joined it and had my first CS experience in the following year. :D

I participate in CS by hosting guests and introducing local culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first Couchsurfing experience was in Banda Aceh (Indonesia) in September 2012. I think CS is not just about having a place to stay when we are traveling, but also having a new family. :)
I also stayed with CS host several times during my Eurotrip back in 2013-2014. Now it's time to pay forward to other travelers.

Message: Never take anything for granted. Please contribute something positive along our journey and stay through Couchsurfing.

兴趣

I like to spend time with the people I care about, as well as doing what I enjoy the most: reading, writing and traveling. I also put interests on cultural exchange, community-based tourism and globalization and development issues. Besides doing daily work at office, I do volunteering with my friends particularly on education and development area.

音乐、电影和书籍

I prefer drama to action movies. Hehe... But I also like adventurous stories. Some of my fave movies are The 'Shawshank Redemption', 'The Fall' and 'Doubt'.
As for books, I love novels and any books about traveling.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Joined Indonesia Mengajar (Indonesia Teaching Foundation), an effort from Indonesian youths to fulfill the shortage of teachers in remote areas in Indonesia. I served in Bawean Island, Gresik, East Java. I have never heard about the island before I joined the movement. Although it is a part of East Java province, it has totally different language and culture. It was great to have lived there for a year. I met wonderful and kind-hearted people from whom I learned about struggle and sincerness. I also met incredible students who inspired me a lot. Who were high-spirited despite the limitations they had.
