About Me

Born in South Sumatera,
Studied in West Java,
currently living in Bali
🏝 ❤️

Anyway according to a personality test i took recently, i am a LAID-BACK DOER.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a fair share of wonderful experiences, thanks to Couchsurfing!

Actually, I've hosted many friends and surfed quite a few couches before I was introduced to CS
Through CS i get the chance to meet cool people and make more friends for life.

Went inactive for a while, that was when CS went weird.
Then I went hermit mode.
Then came COVID..

So now here I am,
eager to travel;
up for meeting up when i can;
helping in any possible ways;
keeping the true dying spirit of CS alive;
and so on, and so on...

I should have written all the amazing CS experiences I've had, but only managed to write down how it all started
