#1 Ambivert: I love hanging out, party, meeting people, and discussing general topics such as arts, entrepreneurship, sports, cultures, and many other things, but, after all of those, I need to recharge by reading books and watching movies by myself

#2 Experimental: I am opened to learning new languages, tasting some disgusting food and beverages, putting on some peculiar clothes

#3 Adventurous: I am excited for travelling and getting lost in a new place, jumping out of a plane, walking in a strange land, making unforgettable memories

#4 Creative: I am free when I create concepts and pose for fine art photography and write fiction

#5 Active: I feel fresh after yoga, or playing squash, or just throwing frisbee with mates by the beach

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Fresh blood in here, but after hearing how great the couchsurfing community is, I have a few specific reasons to join in:

#1 To find a traditional home when I'm visiting a particular country and learn about their daily lives and culture.
#2 To attend meetups and connect with likeminded people
#3 To host and introduce people about my culture and country once I'm home in Indonesia
