Hi There!

I have lived in Jakarta since 2005. I rent a room here. The locals say "kos".
I am not a native from this city. For the first 18 years, I spent my life in Tegal, a small town at western Central Java province. Then I moved to Jakarta to study for my bachelor degree and finally end up working here.

My mom still live in Tegal. She doesn't want to move to Jakarta. She hates traffic jam. My dad has passed away and I am the only child, so I usually visit my mom every 4 months or less.

I like to travel. Maybe I got this gen from my dad. But actually I really do travelling after I moved to Jakarta and earn my own money. Thanks to my friends who have shared their time and ideas for doing travelling with me. South East Asia is my closest target for every chance of travel. I love the cultures, foods, and worth of money.

I like culinary and every artsy things.

CURRENT MISSION
Adventure!

ABOUT ME
Simple yet full of curiosity.
Calm and open-minded.

PHILOSOPHY
