I am a native Indonesian and have been living far from home since 17.

I am currently working for a Singapore-based startup company. I do research on startups, current trends, and data related to startup ecosystem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meet new people. When do travelling, one of the best experience that I want to try is to mingle with the locals and understand how people are living in other part of the world where I've never been before.

I hope to meet every one of you and share stories :)

Interests

I love sports, playing badminton, and sometimes swimming.

In travel, I like highlands, metropolitan cities, nature scenery and everything greens. I also love cultural sites where ancient buildings stand.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love 3 idiots movie because it's a complete set of entertainment, moral story, and funny at the same time. Generally, I prefer action movies and those that don't need much of thinking. When I watch movies, I do not think. I only try to get entertained.

During high school, I read Harry Potter a lot. In fact it's the only book series that took that much of my time. Now I am more interested in management and personal development book. My boss recommends me to read Drive by Daniel Pink and Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg. Since then, both have been my favourite books.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like sharing about my little hometown, Bangka Island. It's a beautiful island with beautiful beaches! If there will be a chance when we can meet there, I'll show you around! And introduce you with local culinary paradise!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you haven't had a chance to visit South-east Asia, I can definitely share to you all things you need to know about this region. If you're keen, I will be more than happy to host you one day when you're coming here in Jakarta :)

I can bring you local items or souvenir from my country so you will have something to keep from a new friend :)
