Hello people. I'm totally new here, never hosted never been hosted. Well, let my start off by introducing myself. My name's Deva, i'm 19 years old, I'm from Indonesia but currently studying architecture in Toulouse, France.

I'm open minded, i like to learn things, try new things. My goal in life is to get exposed to as many cultures as I can, and I guess it's evident from the fact that I chose to study halfway around the globe just for the adventure. So wherever you are, french or not, I'd be happy to exchange some cultural experiences with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm living in a not too small appartment building really close to the town center. I thought I can host people visiting toulouse, why not.

Interests

What I like: languages, culture, history, poems, visual arts, good people, good food.

What I don't like: political correctness, bigotry

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all sorts of music, but I like classical music the most especially the 19th century era. That being said, I'm not a music snob either. I listen to Enya, The Beatles, Nujabes, Bruno Mars, too.

Although, the best music is Christmas music.

For movies and books, I'm just gonna give you a list of my top fives.

Movies:
1. Empire of the Sun (spielberg)
2. Interstellar
3. Giovanni's island
4. Les Choristes
5. Son of Rambow

Books:
1. The Alchemist (coelho)
2. The Hobbit
3. Paper Towns
4. The God Delusion
5. Angels and Demons

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In highschool I had two choose between two big choices. The first one, was to continue my studies in an Indonesian University like what most people did, and the other, will probably sound a little bit phantastical to you. It was to take a super intensive french class (yes, the name of the class was cours super intensif) upon graduating highschool and aim to get B2 in 6 months, then apply to a french university online manually without the aid of an agency or scholarships or anything like that, and finally go study in France the following year.

I've put alot of thinking on this, I chose France because I wanted to learn a third language, and mainly because higher education is free here. Yup, I put alot of thinking in this. So I decided to go with the second one. Thankfully French isn't that hard.
