Good day, mates!
Please call me Noi because nobody calls me Nabila except for officials and lecturers :))

I studied biomedical engineering and currently working as an engineer in Jakarta.
I am pretty much your normal happy-go-lucky kind of folk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Isn't it strange that we have arrived on an age where you can meet and/or even live with nice strangers that you meet in a "scary" place called the Internet?
I just want to be one of those nice strangers who will restore faith in humanity (and the internet) :))

Interests

I am not really an adventurer. I love to learn about cultures and discuss about a lot of stuff though!

I play a lot of video games. My steam library will give you ideas of the kind of games that I like (http://steamcommunity.com/id/knownasnoi/). Mostly I like engaging puzzles (Portal series is my religion) and RPG.

I play music (although not good at it), I was a bassist in a small local britrock band (we have disbanded sadly) and then learning violin for 2 years. I listen to almost all genres from britrock to jazz to classics.

I love watching anime, reading manga, and Japanese culture in general. I studied Japanese calligraphy (shoudo) and won a competition once (woo!)

I am an avid reader of Neil Gaiman novels. Also his Sandman comic. I like science fiction (Foundation series and Enders Game are my faves) and fantasy novels.
