Aloha! 🌴

My name is Astrid Mustika Indah
I was born and raised on the Sumatera Island 🐓. Spent a couple of years on the Jakarta (Indonesia), got homesick, then came back home to the islands. Now, I want to see the rest of the world. ✈

I know this section is skinny. I prefer "talking" to get to know someone, rather than put my whole life on this page (though I know there's a lot here already). 📖

Let's meetup, talk story! ☕🍺⛺

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered CouchSurfing while looking for a cheap place to stay. An online travel blog had mentioned the site. I registered and it truly changed my life. 🎎🎏

I love meeting people, whether local or visiting CouchSurfers. I like small gatherings where I can talk with others about their travels and homeland, and other random things. 🍹

I'm your unofficial local tour guide on my hometown North Sumatera Island (if it possible)! I enjoy showing people around... and do it in hopes one day you'll be able to return the favor. (I'm not a real tour guide, but I can answer your questions, or at least make up a good answer) 😃😀🙋
▬▬ CURRENT MISSION ▬▬ 

Trying to figure out where to go next. 💼🏃🏁

Interests

I love traveling, whether it be in my own backyard or halfway across the world. Enjoying a new place is awesome. 👣🌐

I like people watching... just observing why and how things happen. It's like National Geographic, but humans and the way we interact with eachother is just as fascinating and entertaining. 👀🙈🙊🙉

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hmmm survived to stay alive in India about 3 Months haha

Teach, Learn, Share

A neat fact when I travel: I rarely ever look into what a destination has to offer. I usually just head somewhere to meet CSers. I'm more interested in making a new friend, a new bond with someone. I enjoy meeting with random people because it gives me opportunities to learn more about everything, gaining new ideas and skills I may apply to my own way of life. If I do get to see something along the way, it's just an added bonus. 📚🔭

I'm not shy about talking about my homeland of North Sumatera Island either (it's people, culture, etc.). 🏄🌺🌊🌋🌈

I'm positive we can gain a lot from each other. This is why I CouchSurf. 🎯

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest I am extremely flexible. I love it when a host wants to share their culture and city with me but am perfectly fine on my own as well. I'm super easygoing as far as sleeping arrangements, bed, couch, floor no problem. Usually as long as the situation is respectful I am pretty comfortable anywhere and am happy to help out around the house and of course clean up after myself. I also usually travel with some foods from home and love being able to cook a meal for my hosts.
