About Me

I am a friendly and trustworthy traveller who is currently studying at ISI Surakarta, learning how to play gamelan music. After I finish studying, I will be travelling through Oceania, Asia and India embarking on exciting adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and socialising with fellow travellers!
I have spent 6 months budget travelling throughout India and Indonesia and it's important to spread the message of love and solidarity.
All my surfers have been friendly people so far who have shared their fascinating stories and knowledge with me! I want to meet more!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of Music-Reggae, Classical (and all classical sub genres-baroque, contemporary, romantic etc) Gamelan, Jazz, metal, ska, international folk music

Movies-, Baraka, Samsara, Whiplash, Shine, Weird horror movies, My Immortal Beloved, Seven Years In Tibet, South Park the movie, Pulp Fiction.

Books-1984, George Orwell, A cave in the Snow, Trouble in Paradise, weird literature, Shakespeare (haha, I joke-I'm not that cultured and educated)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got the opportunity to be an extra in a movie called 'Seditation' which will be coming out in cinemas in 2017. When travelling solo in India, a very famous director approached me and wanted somebody with a British accent to star as a CIA officer! I got to recite a few lines and be in the same film as Nicole Kidman-I'm very excited for the premier! (the trailer hasn't actually been released yet so I don't know if it's a legit international film but it was a fun experience nevertheless!)

Though I intend to study to be a nurse in the future so hopefully I can add some less egotisitical things to my list!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook so I can make you a tasty vegan meal!
I can teach some English as I am TEFL qualified (though PLEASE bear with me)
I can teach you how to play an instrument of your choice-we have Javanese Gamelan in the house-rebab, suling, gender, gambang, kendhang and ciblon!
