I am originally from Makassar and currently reside in Bogor.

When I travel, the first things I seek out are local food and historical sites. To me, experiencing authentic local cuisine and visiting historical landmarks offer the best way to understand a place’s culture and character. I can cook some dishes I've learned from my mother, though I'm not an expert.

Solo traveling is like meditation for me. I find joy in getting lost and discovering unexpected things. Although I enjoy meeting new people, I’m not much of a party-goer. I often prefer a quiet coffee and relaxing conversation. Haunted and abandoned places are my favorites to explore—I’m always intrigued by the mysteries they hold.

I work for a non-profit organization focused on conservation and sustainable agriculture. I’d love to discuss and learn more about these topics from others to gain various perspectives.

I treat everyone equally, no matter who you are and where you are from. Racist people are not into my circle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hospitality exchange! Sharing the hospitality of my hometown, experiencing different kinds of hospitality, and meeting new people are all things I enjoy. Couchsurfing is the perfect platform for all of these experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stay and volunteer at Aashray Care Home in Jaipur, a wonderful place for orphaned children born with HIV who have been rejected by society due to discrimination or the loss of their parents.

Teach, Learn, Share

To me, there’s no specific agenda for teaching, learning, or sharing. Let’s just meet, engage in some activities, and let everything unfold naturally.

I surf and host whenever I can, and I promise to do my best to make our meeting memorable.
