May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you

I’m RIVA from Indonesia.. currently live in Jambi, Indonesia (https://wikitravel.org/en/Jambi). I am a fulltime worker, so it makes me busy in weekday (office hour), but usually free in afternoon or weekend. Previously I lived in Papua and Jakarta. My work has taken me to different city every 3 - 4 years and a lot of travel across indonesia. Living in another city is an eye opener for me. You observe things from an outsider’s perspective. You see things from the outside in which makes you re-think the way you understand your own culture and your own self from the inside out. Each move has brought with it incredible memories that I can share with you

I’m an eater, travel for foods. I love experiences in travel – food in my case – and not just rushing from place to place or taking a quick vacation – but about local immersion. I do love quick traveling but prefer sabbatical

I am not a party person, prefer to drink coffee at the cozy place. I am willing to wait 30min just for a cup of coffee, and i also can make one for you

If you needed the place for surfing, you must send couchrequest! (Please read my home arrangement first before sending me couchrequest) If you serious to read my home arrangement, please start your request with "tibo nampak muko, balik nampak punggung" And please don't ask your request in message

Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect is earned, not given..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf couches and I host fellow travelers..
I am so eager to host/surf/meet other travelers and make new friends, learn and share everything.. I belive about the kindness of stranger

Music, Movies, and Books

I ’m a big fans of story book for children, very enjoyable, full color and easy to read. Read a book with my children before going to sleep is a perfect activity to spend time, and usually repetition of the same story every night (and we all know how children love to read the same story 100 times over)
