Hi, I’m Taufiq, a freelance translator from Indonesia. I love traveling, meeting new people, and making connections. I’m a huge football fan and like playing the sport. Volunteering has been an amazing way for me to connect with others—I’ve helped out at events like the 2022 World Cup and the 2023 Special Olympics in Berlin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really believe in the power of cultural exchange and how strangers can end up being friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shawshank Redemption. Not an avid reader, I occasionally read novels, self-improvement books, biography, and those about language learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A bus ride of 475 km from Manali to Leh, getting as high as 5,328 ASL at Tanglang La.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want, I can help you learn some basic Indonesian and share about the culture. I’d be happy to share, and listen to, travel tips and stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good company, hopefully.
