PHILOSOPHY

I believe that all people are nice. Cultural differences are good things. A culture or tradition can go along together with another, with respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was born and grow in Yogyakarta, and I love living in this small (but yes, it's getting crowded now, especially during weekend).

I'm open for a coffee/tea time, exploring the cities and other tourism objects in the city (or other cities around Yogyakarta). I like walking, anyway. If you have questions about spending your time while (or before staying) in Yogyakarta, I'm open for questions. I will try to give you the best answers.

I prefer communication by emails if you're not in Yogyakarta. :)
If you send me an email, but I don't reach you back in two days, you can send it again.

Interests

Taking photos and be in a conversation.

• walking

Music, Movies, and Books

I like comedy, drama, but not thriller. :)
Music? Any genres.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be happy to share information or thoughts about the city of Yogyakarta, or Indonesia in general. If you find something that's not right about the city, it might be also because it's not something you're familiar with. If you're interested in finding answers about that kind of "confusing" stuff, I don't mind sharing.

I don't mind spending few hours to teach you about Yogyakarta, especially about some basic knowledges like public transportations, general conversations, directions, and also some tips while you're spending your time in this city.

If you want to learn about conversation in Bahasa Indonesia (or even Javanese language), it would be an honor for me to teach you. If you only need to know a bit about some basic stuff, that should not be a problem.

I believe that travelers need lots of information, and (I think) one of the information sources is the internet. I work with the internet on daily basis, and if you think you want to sit while having coffee/meals and want to get internet connection, I can help you out with this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want to stay at my place, we can arrange. You will be sleeping in a private room. I can provide you meals and drinks, I will try my best not to make you starve.
