About Me

Naturally bilingual, of mixed culture/race, and eccentric. I love the Arts, I can paint, write and sing. Highly extroverted, I love meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel and I have a lot of free time - enough for people to stop over my parent's house in Jakarta and couchsurf there. I also want a place to stay elsewhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Energy - I have a very strong energy since birth. I broke a door handle and tap water at the age of two, so most men have been a victim of my fists instead of the other way round. I have the ability to stand up for myself, and I protect people from danger with it.

I lured a baboon to return my phone when it tried to eat it - by climbing down the steep cliff with it, throwing bananas, and encountered a physical fight with the ape trainer because he did not want to snatch it out of the baboon. So finally, I got my "broken" phone back and had to pay some money to the trainer when he asked for a bribe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages, a bit of martial arts (dude, I'm not licensed or/trained but I have the gift of teaching it too), painting, music, and lots to do with life experience.

Oh, and if you want me to dye your hair - let me know. I have obtained certificate in hairstyling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experience, good time, a little contribution when it comes to money, and teaching language.
