CURRENT MISSION

To see all the best sights in the world!!!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. It's really a messy city (I think one of the messiest in the world hahaha), but despite that fact, I really love Jakarta, the foods, the people, and the price (lol). I lived for 2 and a half year in Alhambra, CA because of my father's job, returned back to Jakarta to finish my high school and then went to Singapore to continue my study there. I'm studying Computer Engineering there and currently I'm an exchange student in Technische Universität München (TUM).

I'll be in Munich until the end of August. Sadly, I'm currently living in a student dorm which located so far away from the Munich city center (25 minutes ride with a sub-urban train or S-Bahn) and have no extra bed or mattress :(. After that, I'll be back in Singapore, finishing my study. I'll definitely update my profile here. If any of u have a plan to visit S'pore, just drop me a mail and couch will always available for u!

I've already met so many people, from so many different cultures & background, and I really love it!! I really love to travel as well. Actually I just found my fondness for traveling the time I did my first 'big' travel around Eastern Europe several months ago. I have a plan to travel around my own homeland, Indonesia. It's really a nice place, with beautiful landscape and nice people. If anyone of you have a plan to go to Indonesia, let me know!

Okay, now more on answering the question "What kind of person am I?" It's always difficult for me to answer this kind of question, but I'll try! I'm an easygoing person, "a bit" talkative, like challenges and trying out new stuffs. I really love meeting new people and make new friends. I am an organized type of person, like everything which is planned and goes in the right order. Also when I'm traveling, I'll always do some planning before I go. So, I'm not really a kind of impromptu person. Okay, maybe that's all bout me.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you've started doing something, doing it full-heartedly!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

like to sing, listening to musics, and watching movies, especially thriller, action movies, sci-fi, and historical films. I also have interests in world's culture and history. Meeting new people from different backgrounds and culture is an exciting experience for me. I also like computer, one of the reason of why I chose computer engineering as my major in the university. I also have an interest in politics, really like to read books by Huntington & Fukuyama.
