I am an Indonesian currently studying computer science and business at KAIST, South Korea. Coming from a small town, going abroad and exploring the world seemed like a distant dream, but I made it happen!
Since my first venture abroad in 2018, I have proudly supported myself without relying on a single penny from my parents. It's quite an amusing accomplishment, to be honest!

Traveling has been an amazing experience, and I'm excited about what lies ahead!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about exploring the world and learning from other people's stories. Travelling is not just about visiting places; it's about connecting with the people I newly meet. It makes me appreciate the small things that happened in my life and fills me with gratitude.
