Hey there! I am Selvia, a proud Capricorn and INFJ with big love for traveling, cultural adventures and good food. I've lived in some pretty cool places-like Utrecht, Malang, Palangkaraya, Mataram, Sulawesi and now Jakarta which has made me excited with exploring new cultures and meeting people from over the world.

I might seem a little bit shy at first (classic INFJ vibes), but give me a little time, and you'll find I'm fun, thoughtful, and open-minded travel buddy. I love meaningful chats over coffee (or whatever the local drink is!) and discovering hidden gems that only locals know about.

When I'm not off exploring or planning my next big trip, I'm working at local company and dreaming about my next adventure . Let's share stories, laughs, and maybe even some inside jokes from our travels-because the world's better when we explore it together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is so much more than visiting places-it's about connecting with people on a deeper level and understanding the stories that the shape their lives and cultures. Couchsurfing allows me to go beyond the surface and experience the authentic heart of destination through the kindness and openness of others.

I value meaningful connections and genuine exchanges. I am not just looking for a place to stay-I'm here to learn, to share stories, and to build memories with people who believe in beauty of human connection.

Whether it's over a shared meal, a long conversation about life, or exploring a local hidden gem together, CS gives me a way to see the world through someone else's perspective. I am here to make connections that leave lasting impressions, even long after the journey ends.

Interests

I love learn new language and have big interest in culture. Its one of the reason why I do traveling. Its so fascinating to find out that every language has its own charm and it goes beyond the words!

Music, Movies, and Books

There is no bad movie/book/music. I think its only matter of taste. Like I am open to any kind of food (as long as I am not allergic to it), I enjoy any kind of genre of music, book, or movie. It's hard to pick a favourite.
The Notebook is the only romance movie that I never get bored watching it so many times. I love horror and thriller movie but not too much jump scare.
I am trying to finish reading Pramoedya Ananta Toer tetralogy these days. I love classic books too.
