I am what my colleagues choose to call the strategic tree hugger. I honestly don't know whats that supposed to mean though. I live in Bali at the moment and work at a local non-profit organisation called Friends of the National Parks.

Other than hanging out and enjoying coffee with a bunch of crazy environmentalists and conservationists, i make environmental documentaries. I am not working on anything particular at the moment as i have been focusing myself more on doing various independent researches.

I provide my filmmaking and communication skills for free to organization in need. I am open to help NGOs all around the world grow, be it my digital communication skills or my audio visual production skills, i am more than excited to contribute! So lets connect and brainstorm together!

[ATTENTION] Animals are big parts of my life, so please don't take it personally if i choose to avoid any form of communication with anyone here who puts a picture of him/herself with tamed wild animals taken at some zoos or something It is a form of indirect support for animal cruelty and animal captivity and i cannot tolerate that kind of ignorance. Thanks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling mostly because of that beautiful feeling, when you get to meet so many beautiful people and have a laidback conversation about the beauty the world has to offer. Meeting new people give me instant inspiration. I wouldnt have been the person i am today if i hadnt met all the people i came across with throughout my travels.

I'm on Couchsurfing mainly to explore the other side of travelling. I've couchsurfed twice so far, with one of them being some of the most awesome travel experiences i've had so far.

Unfortunately i can't offer you my couch at the moment, bear with me i'm an asian working for an NGO in a third world country, living with my parents is the only way to get by to still be able to save enough money for my future travels haha

Interests

The world and nature in general
Like minded people
I also have unhealthy obsession towards primates and cetaceans.
Animal behavior fascinates me, i can spend 6 hours sitting not doing anything but observing and analyzing animal behavior.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to pretty much everything.
My favorites are factory floor, sigur ros, flying lotus, slow magic, odesza, schoolboy q, snakeships, giraffage, stwo, uyama hiroto, nujabes, nosaj thing, kaytranada, aaaand the list goes on.
Always up for sweet tunes :) And i always find myself connect more with people who listen to the same kind of music somehow.

I have an unhealthy addiction to Docos, my favorites are the act of killing, blackfish and fairytale of kathmandu.

Currently reading Life Ascending but talking about my favorite though, I read the naked ape once and haven't been able to move on so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
