About Me

I am a freelance journalist, freelance photographer, travel blogger. I am passionate about the wilderness, with ancient cultures, especially cultures that close to disappear.

I graduated journalism diploma at university and be a passion of wander girl.

Before, I was just an office girl, with a stable life, safety but boring. Many times i want to escape but still not confident enough. I do not have much money, no experience, no good at English and i only have average health. It was things that made me concern too much in three years but i did not dare to change.

But one day, I decide I have to live the life I wanted to be, to be someone I wanted to be and to do something more. So I decided to quit my job and set out, pursuing what I wanted.

On my journey I encountered many difficulties. But I'm happy with what I'm doing and I'm having...

I have seen how beautiful the world, how big.

I always have the desire to touch the "myths" in the world with my own eyes, and to record it through my own stories, sets, and footage ... before it can disappear completely ".

That way, I arrived at the beautiful land of the Tsaatan tribe on the Russian-Mongolian border; Chin in Mindat, Burma-Bangladesh border, India to Apatani tribe, Ziro, Indian-Chinese border ...

But the photo set that inspired me was more popular than the "Tsaatan Tribe," which lives in the Taiga Forest (the Russian and Mongolian border).

Summary, now, I'm a traveling blogger, a moving girl, a freelance journalist. I don't have much money but a rich source of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined the CS starting in 2016 when I realized that inside me there was a dream of getting out of the safe zone and exploring the world. Therefore, I would like to meet many people from all over the world to listen to sharing and learn from them.

CS is really interesting because it connects me with many interesting people in the world.
