CURRENT MISSION
travelling around the world - while meeting my academic goals

ABOUT ME
Hello all, my name is Shan. I am an ambivert (slightly introverted and extroverted) who love to experience in new things. Learning new things and having conversations with stranger is my ultimate way to expand my horizon. I love having deep conversation about almost anything.

PHILOSOPHY
an unexamined life is not worth living

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring new things and I hope to meet people from all over the world so that I can gain new perspectives about life. Life would be boring without injections of new point of view. I would love to see people who pursuit their interests, especially in traveling, art and academic fields.

Interests

I'm interested in a lot of things!! Here's my list:
- Reading a book while sleeping on the meadow and gazing at bluesky.
- Drawing together
- Reading arts and letters daily's essays!
- Strolling around in kampongs, and talk about anything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) and show you great places in Malang. If you are interested in arts (drawing and design), we can collaborate on making pictures to be remembered.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share stories and experiences; usually I will bring some souvenir for you to bring back home (handmade postcards, etc).
