I'm a communication enthusiast who draws a big interest on environmental and social issues. I want to spread the beauty of Indonesia with my photos (shameless self-promotion: please check http://the-patw.com/, guys!) and stories. Indonesia is beyond Bali, people!

For me, real conversation is sexy hence I like people with depth. I like people with a strong mind, an interesting mind, a twisted mind. But foremost, I like people who can charm me with their wit because I dearly love to laugh.

I believe that God save the traveler! God made us different so that we can get acquainted; to share stories and compassion; to be grateful.

"It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection." (Qur'an 67:15)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend told me that Couchsurfing is a really helpful website for backpackers. Turns out, this is not just a website. It is a friendship's chain between strangers.

The first time I tried this web was for searching the couch on my first trip abroad. Voilà! A nice Brazilian man hosted me and my friends in Macau. Not to mention the experience that kindness crosses all borders which human built. :)
