I was born in Jakarta and grown up in Depok, southern area of Jakarta. I love travelling just like the way I love breathing. I love making friends and strangers around the world. This is how I translate "if you travel the world, you read the entire chapter" and yes everyone always brings their chapter to my life. In particular, people give me distinct life hacks that I never know before. Thus I appreciate people is exactly the same with the way I appreciate myself.

I love cats and dogs and other animals except snakes! My favorite natures are beach (for swimming, snorkelling, volley beach), mountain (not hiking, just sightseeing), and waterfall (swimming and parachuting). These subsume my natural definition of fun.

I am interested to learn and master everything. So, if you happen to have a skill that I never have acquired, please be available to teach me more and I will be your fastest student ever. I have graduated from the University of Indonesia and am now working on McKinsey and Company.

The most riveting part of having a trip (be it train-I love trains so much-, aircraft-I adore Boeing-, and bus) is on the journey itself. I just enjoy inside them and see what passes by. When arriving at the destined destination, my energy is halfway reduced. In other words, travelling is my most prominent source of energy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling yet I challenge myself to get lost abroad. FYR, my B1 US Visa is till valid through 2018. So, for security and trust issue, I am licensed.

Trust me, when having my prior bizz trip, none of the hotel beds I used to sleep was cozy and convincing. I prefer to stay with friends with in-line interest in which comfort and warmth can only be sensed. I do not see luxuries but your warmth and hospitality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduated from the the most competitive university in the country. Getting hired in a world's top-notch company (by Forbes) before graduating. Aside from these, the most wonderful thing I have had is the opportunity to meet my other fellow couchsurfers and the beginning of a new adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

Owww, I have taught for 8 years for all subjects (mostly math: algebra, calculus, statistics; physics; chemistry; computational language processing; and stuff).

I visited New York City which I had no idea why I was going there in 2013. It was a summer exchange course, but NYC gives different view to me. Skyscrapers there have successfully brought me into a true felling of how my life is supposed to happen. Yes, I am typical an urban-styled living, but it is not needlessly making me allergic to nature.
