Hi! I’m Novalia Apriatini, you can call me Lia 😊
Traveling is my biggest passion. I’ve been lucky to explore many countries, sometimes solo, which has been such a rewarding journey. I enjoy discovering new places, capturing moments through photography, and connecting with people from different backgrounds. Acoustic music, movies, and good food always make me happy. 🥰

I’m currently learning Arabic and German, and I love doing language exchanges. For me, Couchsurfing is more than just finding a place to stay. It’s about making genuine connections, sharing stories, and building friendships across the world 🌍

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 Music
I enjoy acoustic tunes, retro pop classics, and romantic soundtracks with soulful vibes.

🎬 Movies
I like romantic dramas, period-style films with beautiful costumes, and movies that capture culture or travel. Not always series, sometimes just a good standalone film is enough.

📚 Books
I enjoy travel stories, inspiring reads, and light novels that feel like an escape into another world.
