I'm an avid traveler even though my bank account is not usually as excited as I am when it comes to traveling. I'm aiming to travel as much as I could, starting from places in my own country. Aside from that, I love to exchange languages, stories, and cultures too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly, because I love traveling but my bank account rarely could support me being in places for some time, but I'll tell you this: I'd love to meet people from many different places, with various different backgrounds as well. This, I believe, is one of my most favorite way to learn about the world; from the eyes of various, different bystanders.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Pacific Rim, Atonement, The Act of Killing, Filth, Babies, etc. Way too many.
Also, I can go from the cutest movies to those that will leave you awake at night.

Non-fiction books: Anything about gender and sexuality, religion & beliefs, philosophy.
Fiction books: anything by Mitch Albom, Harry Potter, Atonement, Dracula, I'm flexible, tbh. I can go from bedtime stories to Dostoevsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finishing my degree and actually catching up with my own original writing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach...English? I've been teaching English all my life, haha. Maybe Indonesian, if anyone would like to.

I'd love to learn German (been doing it for 5 years and still cannot speak it) and Japanese (been doing it forever and still cannot speak). Korean, Spanish...but I guess I have to do this slowly.

What to share? Love, kindness, and stories. Also, Indonesian foods and snacks for you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, experiences, and...do you like food? I can cook. Or, bring you Indonesian snacks/foods you'll learn to love or hate.

I always make sure to clean up my own mess too.
