I am a Chinese Indonesian growing up in Jakarta. I moved to New Zealand in 2007 and have been living here since. Currently, the question that I find hard to answer is: where is your home? My family is in Jakarta, therefore I feel Jakarta is still home. But having been away for 9 years, I cannot imagine myself living back in Jakarta. I love NZ and have adapted well with the country and the culture. Which culture do I adopt? A bit of everything I guess... I am just a mess!! ;p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my university years and my staying in New Zealand, I have met people from different countries and cultures and I love the diversity. So I decided to take a year off and travel. What is the best way of travelling other than staying with and meeting the local and traveling the local way..

Interests

Definitely cultures and languages!!! I love meeting people from different backgrounds, I love cooking and trying ethnic food, I love nature, music, coffee, good company of people, trying different and new cultural stuff and a glass of beer or wine in the afternoon..
I am just excited to find new things on my way!! Can't wait to have my mind blown away by the diversity out there!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the 90s music, love Michael Bubble, Jack Johnson but I listen to almost everything except heavy metal and rock.
I love love love superhero movies, science fiction, true stories but try to avoid boring drama and a definite no for horror!! That will take away my sleep!
I read anything good that my friend recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to public bath in South Korea and let someone rub my body dirt away.. I could not believe I did that!
