About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be happy.enjoy life.travel more

ABOUT ME
i have a tattoo "Lo importante es reir y reir juntos". You can ask what's the meaning if you meet me.
It;s a motto of my life.

I'm easy to recognize. Cause i always have colourful hair. Black is too boring for me.
That's how i see the world.
We live in a beautiful and colourful world.
Each people is different and yet the same thing.
I like meeting new people. Especially the one that have different mind, idea, way of life or point of thinking.

I am easy going, like to explore new things .But sometimes I'm shy and just be a good listener.

Eager to learn stuff from different cultures. I'm quite easy to talk about everything (except sports & politics). open-minded. free thinking .

Before i know this site, i already been a 'couchsurfer' = prefer sleep on the couch in a friend's house rather in a big bed empty guest room

So, if i need a place to surf, i'm very simple. I'm not high maintenance, I do not need big queen size bed or AC room, just a proper sofa/mats is enough.

PHILOSOPHY
enjoy (simple things in) life, going with the wind blows

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met yet' – William Butler Yeats.
I really agree with that quote that's why I think that CS is a great idea to meet strangers and then later become friend

I like meeting new people, having friends all over the world, exchanging stories, learning new cultures, doing fun activities. And CS is the best way to experience it all
I try to meet up with couchsurfers that coming here to Bandung or when I;m traveling to a new place, I'll try to engage in CS activities there.
