About Me

I’m a professional photographer and videographer who loves stories, people, and meaningful connections. I’m open minded, easygoing, and genuinely enjoy helping others. Creating something new gives me energy, and making people happy through what I do is what drives me.

Padel is a big part of my life. What started as curiosity turned into a serious journey. I train, compete, and also coach padel. I love the strategy of the game, the discipline, and the community around it. Coaching allows me to share not just technique, but mindset, movement, and love for the sport. Whether you’re a beginner or already playing, I’m always happy to hit the court or talk padel.

I’m also into badminton, surfing, diving, and MMA. Sports keep me grounded and sharp.

I’m a slow traveler. I like to stay long enough to feel a place, understand the rhythm, and connect with people rather than rush from spot to spot.

Philosophy
The goal isn’t to live forever, but to create something that will.

If you’re curious to know me more, let’s meet and share stories 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting locals, learning about culture through real conversations, and building genuine connections. Couchsurfing for me is about trust, stories, and shared moments.

Interests

Sports, music, mobile games, outdoor activities, having deep conversation and exploring new places.

Most of the times I play badminton, Padel and do MMA sometimes. If you interest about that let me know. We can play together 😉

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy John Mayer, Michael Bublé, and The Weeknd.
I like documentaries, drama series, and comedy.
Books that stayed with me include Barack Obama’s biography, The Land of Five Towers, and works by Basko.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one month in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, living with locals. I learned how to weave traditional fabric called Tenun and experienced a very simple and beautiful way of life. That experience changed my perspective deeply, and I hope to return one day.

I was also traveling in the UK when Covid started and managed to get back home just before lockdown. That moment taught me how fragile plans are and how important presence is.

Current Europe Journey for 3 months

This trip is about depth, not distance.
I spent one month in Barcelona, one week in Izmir, two weeks in Paris, a few days in Belgium and the Netherlands, and one week in Germany. Next stop is Albania for one week, then back to Spain with one week in Madrid and two more weeks in Barcelona.

Spain feels like home right now, especially because of padel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching what I know, learning something new, and sharing my nap when needed 😄

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, padel coaching or a friendly match, travel stories, positive energy, and Indonesian home cooked food.
