An Indonesian by birth, Chinese by blood, and global citizen by choice. I am a master's student currently studying Tourism Management in Budapest, Hungary. Back in Indonesia, I previously worked as an Associate Consultant in a research and consulting firm. However, I am interested in a wide variety of fields, such as sociology, spirituality, and linguistics. So, I basically can engage in different topics of conversation. Oh, and if you are into psychology and personality type studies, my MBTI type is INFJ.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be constantly traveling across Europe until 2020, and I have a target to visit every country in Europe. I believe the best way to travel is to experience a culture from the inside and engage with the locals. That's why I think Couchsurfing is a great platform to connect with other people from different cultures, exchange knowledge, share my culture, and grow international network.
