About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through the eyes around me

ABOUT ME

I lived half of my life in Indonesia. For a time, I was a documentary filmmaker before turning my attention to more artistic endeavors in advertising. I just moved from Los Angeles to Amsterdam, and I'm loving it. If you come visit, I'm happy to show you around some of my favorite places in this awesome city.

PHILOSOPHY

Reality is infinite. And so is love. And so are pancakes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people hear their stories on their couch.

Interests

People, photography, storytelling. I'm learning how to play the Ukulele. But I'm actually very bad at it. I also love creating technology that helps people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Forest Gump
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Mrs. DoubtFire
Edward Scissorhands

Music:
Beyonce (joking)
Radiohead (for real)

Books:
I'm currently reading a book called "Destructive Emotions" - a conversation between the Dalai Lama and a room full of scientists. Very interesting.
