Hi there, I am Hari. I was born and raised in Indonesia. When I was 18, I moved to Turkey for undergraduate degree. While I was in Turkey, I moved to Romania for a semester. During the height of COVID, I was in Canberra Australia doing my masters degree. Now I settle and work in Jakarta, Indonesia. Please hit me up if you are ever in Jakarta.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving 6,000 miles away from home when I was 18 with no prior international travel experience. I had to deal with all the paperwork myself (at 18yo). Can’t believe I did that 🫣

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I don't know if I have the capacity to teach
Learn: But I do want to learn
Share: I like sharing. Perhaps little souvenir from my country is the affordable thing to share for now. But information, culture, and experience - I am in to either share it or listen to it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Culture - mostly sharing information about things that both of us don't know, such as things that are related to our nationality (the culture that we embrace).

Food - Indonesian food

A room - I have a spare room (very small with a single bed) in my apartment located in the downtown of Jakarta, close to MRT, LRT, KRL and airport railink.
