So, a little bit about me.
I’m the youngest in my family, born and raised in a middle-class family in a small town in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Growing up, traveling felt like a luxury I couldn’t really afford.

But now that I’ve started earning my own money, I want to travel as much as I can.
Even if it’s just short trips because of limited vacation days, I try to really enjoy every moment of it. Peru, especially Machu Picchu, is at the top of my list, and I’m hoping I can make it happen this year (still hunting for tickets!).

One of my best experiences so far was doing a 3D2N hike in Leuser National Park in 2025 in Sumatera, where I got to see orangutans in the wild. It felt really special, especially because even though I was born and raised in Sumatra, it took me 31 years to finally visit that place.

Right now, I’m also currently pursue my master’s study since last August, which will last until next year.

One thing you should know, I’m quite a shy person at first, so it might take some time for me to open up. But once I feel comfortable, I can actually talk quite a lot.

I have tattoos, but I don’t smoke and I’m not really into alcohol. I can drink, but usually just one or two glasses. I’m more of a coffee person (yes, I really love coffee!). Drinking occasionally is still okay though.

To be honest, I don’t like the smell of smoke. So if we ever meet and you smoke, I might seem a bit uncomfortable. It’s not that I don’t like you, I just don’t handle the smell very well. Hope you understand 🙂

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends from all over the world and to go out from my comfort zone (my introvert world).

To get many new information from everybody I'll meet.

And if I'm lucky, I can find (a) travel mate(s) to try and do many things together.
