I'm pretty easy going and interested in everything. I dropped out of college after my 3rd year and decided to pursue photography full time — it's been the best decision ever. I was born in Indonesia, grew up in Minnesota, but my heart is truly wherever I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel alone a lot and I love meeting new people through my travels, couch surfing allows me to do that without having to go up to a stranger at a bar or a public place. I think it's a lot more fun to see new places through locals than staying in hotels and doing the usual touristy things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Super wide variety.. I'd listen to anything by Mac Demarco to N.W.A. to Norah Jones. But I love some good old jazz and soul music.

All time favorite movie is My Girl. Very picky with movies but I love anything directed by Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson.

My favorite books are The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I will read anything you recommend me, chances are I will love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent three weeks volunteer teaching in a village of 200 people on a secluded island in West Papua, Indonesia. Nearest town is a 3 to 5 hour boat ride through the Pacific Ocean. No electricity, no cell service, no internet. It was an incredible experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I eat mostly plant based and love to cook so I can show you some yummy vegan cooking.

I love learning about other people's cultures and new languages and talents!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be down to help out any way that I can - drinks, conversations, chores, tell you facts about Minnesota or Indonesia, etc..
