About Me

I just completed my Master's in London, majoring in contemporary fashion buying. Planning to reside somewhere in Europe now.

Hmm I'd consider myself as a culture enthusiast. I'm always up for new experience and adventure, driven yet passionate, and an innate go-getter. I was born and bred in Indonesia, but left home quite early to pursue my passion. I'm a very determined person. I've been living and studying in different countries. I've met and made friends with some of the most amazing people. I love to live, broadening my horizon.

I consider myself as a vibrant, open-minded, honest, bubbly and positive person (often sentimental haha). I might appear to be shy at first, but when I'm comfortable, I could be the most talk-active, craziest and wild person you'll ever encounter hah!
I like to maintain a good healthy lifestyle. I do home-workouts regularly, I do cardio run around the city almost everyday. I dont smoke, and I never touched drugs in my life (I dont judge if you do). I also like to maintain good personal hygiene and cleanliness.
I've also been adapting gluten-free, dairy-free and less sugar diet as I can see and feel the benefits to my health. But travelling and busy life schedule makes me so difficult to maintain!
That said, I'm trying not to be too strict on my diet though, as we only live once, we should be celebrating life and explore the universe :)

I'm also a former dancer and choreographer. So whenever you need someone to teach you some moves for your events, count on me! hahaha ;)

I really like the quote,
"Enjoy the moment before it becomes a memory, don't get so caught up in the worries of tomorrow that you fail to enjoy the happiness you have in the present."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing, but I'm so bloody thrilled about this site.

I think this is a great platform to meet people and make friends around the world.
I like meeting new people, making new friends around the globe. Sharing experiences over a nice cup of coffee in a nice cafe, or perhaps doing some small road trips together. Ah!

I have to say that I've met and made friends with so many amazing friendly people during my travel. I have experienced the magic of CS :) I believe that this platform serves as a bridge that connects people with different cultures around the world.

So what's next?? hit me up and let's get to know each other ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : Hmm.. I enjoy a wide variety of music. I like to keep up with the new released pop songs. I'm also such a sucker for 80's long songs. When I'm feeling sentimental or just want to relax, I'd listen to Hans Zimmer or Glenn Miller with a glass of fine wine.

Movies : I like watching Sci-fi, there's just something about it that gives me the fantasy and inspiration. I also like good action movies. I can watch anything BUT horror movies. I know I'm such a sissy, I just can't hahaha. You may ask me to go for Skydiving, but god forbid I'm scared of ghosts!

Books : I don't usually read books. but when I do, I read books about psychology, health and wellness, and life motivational books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm I have done quite many things in my life. I'll tell you more when we meet!

One of the most amazing experiences was, winter camping in Inner Mongolia, dancing around the bon fire.

Had the most wonderful time spending my new year's eve in Hamburg, Germany. Drove to the end of the coast at Timmendorfer Strand, overlooking a stretch of beautiful beach decorated with dancing lights, had a nice bottle of champagne. Sipping my glass whilst witnessing the breathtaking countdown to the new year. It was such an euphoric moment.

In 2016, I won the Harper's Bazaar Asia New Generation Fashion Award after competing against fellow designers around Asia. I was granted with scholarship for Master's degree in either London, Paris or Milan.
It was completely a wonderful moment. It gave me the validation that I needed. And you know, Hard work does pay off.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm.. I can teach you some dance moves if needed :)

I'm improving my cooking skill, so if there's time available, I can cook something nice for us.

For sure, I can give you some fashion and styling tips, or you can ask me to go shopping with you. I promise I'm a great shopping companion.
