Do not dream your life but just live your dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel around the world, be thankful for everything what He created.
There is always good people anywhere in the world doesn't matter religion,race ,language and culture. I believe that life is about to share happiness to others.

Interests

Hiking. It is great activity because mountain is the best way to make ourselves closer to the nature and be thankful of anything we have. Let's hike together.

Cooking? Because i like eating so i have to know some of the spices even though i am not a master on kitchen. I am still learning. I will be very happy to learn your traditional meal, about the food history is also okay. If you are interested, i will tell you about indonesian food which is actually different based on the province. Make sure that you savor the spicy meal if you want to taste the real indonesian :)

Traveling opens my mind to be more tolerant, welcomed people, and easily adapt to the locals. So keep calm and travel on!

Definitely i love swimming because it is one of my favorite sport also exercise i always do weekly.

There are much better blogger than i am but i will keep learning to write. I am not sure about my writing style but as long as i have idea, just pour it into a writing ! :)

Language is key to master the world. That's why i am keen of learning some european languages. The main reason is i will easily learn language written in Latin alphabet such as Indonesia and Javanese as my native language. If you like to learn langauge, let's change our knowledge!
