Hello, I'm a postgrad student who currently reside in Manchester, UK. Before moved to UK in January 2023, I already have experiences surfing and hosting back in 2010 to 2018. But after that, I tried to stop hosting because of the circumstances in my parent's house.

Right now, I'll be able to meet up with people in Manchester to show around and explore the city, though I am a newbie myself. But, if you'd like to explore The University of Manchester, I'll be glad to be your guide!

I am an introvert person who love to travel, I also a good listener and thoughtful person. At least that's what my friends are saying about me.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing help me to meet new friends from different countries, I'll be able to learn cultures, spend more time speaking English, and just find the uniqueness in each person. I believe everyone is one of a kind!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Traveling makes you believe that humanity is still existed. I was helped by many people when I travel, which is remind me, we are brothers and sisters, separated by the country border.

Teach: Bahasa Indonesia, filing documents (sound boring), arrange a home library (boring too?), travel planning.

Learn: Cooking local food (even I am not cooking) and language! French, Italian, German, Greek... basically I love learning new language, so come and let me learn some your basic phrases!

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

My previous hosts said that I am a polite, organized, and neat person (please read my references). If you say do not leave hairs in the shower, I will do it. If you ask to separate the garbage, I will not think twice. etc, etc.

Although I am a quiet person, I can share to you about my beautiful country and the craziness of Jakarta's public transportation. In these topics, I could be a chatter :)

Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Myanmar, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Thailand, United Kingdom, Vatican City State
