Hi! I’m Muhtadi, a backpacker from Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
I travel with simple needs, a curious mind, and a deep love for reggae music, local cultures, and natural places.

I believe that traveling isn’t about luxury, but about connecting with people, sharing stories, and learning from different ways of life. That’s why I use Couchsurfing—not just to stay somewhere, but to meet people who live from the heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to see places through people, not just Google. Hotels can’t offer a story. You can.
I want to exchange stories, culture, or just peaceful silence over coffee or tea.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I may not have much in material things, but I believe we all carry something worth sharing. Here's what I can offer:

A calm and respectful presence – I don’t take up much space, and I always try to bring peace wherever I go.

Stories from the road – growing up in Pontianak, traveling across islands with a backpack, and learning from people I meet along the way.

Good music and quiet company – I love sharing reggae, dub, or ambient sounds that soothe the soul. If you're open, we can listen together or just sit in silence.

A cup of strong Indonesian coffee – if I have space, I’ll bring some from home. If not, I’ll make it with whatever’s around. It’s the moment that matters more than the taste.

Hands that are always ready to help – I’m not a chef or an artist, but I’m happy to sweep, cook instant noodles, wash dishes, or run errands.

Respect for your space and time – I understand that hosting a stranger is a generous act. I will always treat your home with gratitude and care.

In the end, I just hope to leave behind something warm: a smile, a good memory, or a little silence that feels like home.
