Selamat Pagi. I’m Alex from Singkawang, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It's a beautiful coastal city on the island of Borneo. There are many orangutans in the rainforests of this island. I live in Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient. I'm currently travelling around Europe. I'm a talkative, outgoing and friendly guy.

I love traveling more than anything in the world because it takes me out of my comfort zone to inspire me to see, taste, try new things and expose me to new type of people. It reminds me that my life isn’t the only one I could live. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. My dream is to be to every countries in the world and learn about their culture, history and languages.
