Love art, dance, culture, languages and travelling. On a holiday, you'll find me exploring temples, nature or the city rather than tanning on the beach. But back home I am very laid back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been a great way to meet locals when i'm travelling or travelers when they are in town. Fun happy people in general.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages and experiencing local culture. So there is a big chance that I will be able to speak few sentences in your language after I leave your city. I can also teach you Indonesian traditional dances if you're interested in it. And if I meet you back home, I know all the best food because I loveeee food. My cousin has said that I have 3 homeless people living in my tummy.
