I'm trying to put a witty one-liner here to make you at least smile while reading my profile but I can't currently think about it so I'll just write random things about me. I am an Indonesian, currently studying physics, living in Erlangen, Germany. I like talking to people as well as connecting with them, and although I can be quite silent on one moment, I could be talkative at subsequent seconds. Knowing people from all around the world is something I am aiming for. As a kid I had always stared at the globe while spinning it, pointing to a place, and imagining if I would be there one day. PHILOSOPHY: I am not Immanuel Kant, what do you expect to be written here? MISSION: Getting as much as I could from this app. I would even give as much as I could give in the future, but there are still things to sort out.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
I really like to know new people and get into deep with their cultures. Moreover, I also join local events wherever there is any, and get involved in the local Couchsurfing scene when I have time. I organise some of the weekly meetings in Nuremberg as well as some events in Erlangen, too!
Музыка, кино и книги
Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers!!! They've been awesome since I'm in my childhood. I also enjoy listening to the likes of Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden. My taste of music is fairly broad. Book: Currently my favourite is After Dark by Haruki Murakami. Film: The Shawshank Redemption, Batman Begins, Interstellar (only the science parts though, the storyline was pretty...... dull?)
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Ran from Wöhrder Wiese to Nürnberg main railway station deep in the night to catch the last train, otherwise I'd have to wait for 3 hours for the night bus. Normally it should take me 25 minutes on foot but I managed to run one third of the supposed duration and arrived at the platform just split seconds before the train departed.
Учить, учиться, делиться
Teach: I can give you insights about physics, materials science, and some mathematics. However I am aware that most of those things could be really tedious to learn, even to myself. I can also teach Indonesian phrases and how to cook some of the meals. Prepare quite a lot of time, however, since most of them take long hours to cook. Learn: Your mother tongue and your culture. I am also a good listener who wants to know your stories if you don't mind to tell. Knowing the history of your place won't hurt, too! Since I am a huge fan of food, it is really beneficial if I can learn how to cook the authentic dish of your home country. Currently learning how to play chess, as well as trying to get a grasp on Italian and Spanish. Share: Stories about my knowledge..... I'm not sure if it is enough for you but I'll certainly share everything I have in mind.
Что я могу предложить хостам
As a guest, I can offer the host my cooking and canned beer from Germany. I will perhaps try to teach the hosts some basic Indonesian phrases. If desired, I will bring Indonesian instant noodle to the host's place. It is said that eating the food is a religious experience ;) I'm not only going to sleep on my host's place because definitely I want to learn something from the hosts! What I want to know is more to the customs of the country - or the region you are from. Besides of learning from the hosts, I also want to make friend with them to expand my network. Therefore, I will try my best to spend as much as time I have (aside from exploring on my own) to talk with the hosts. Gaining experience and exchanging insights are always priceless for me. Extra note: I will guarantee you a place for you in my city - wherever it is - if you visit my place.
Мои интересы
I hike, I do sports, and I mostly utter random facts that I know out of nowhere. And as a natural scientist I'm curious as hell so I might ask things out of the blue, like, "what kind of insects you have in your garden?" And I love puns too.
