I am an adventure seeking, dance loving, wine drinking 25 year old. I've been happily married to my husband Ari for the last 4 years after meeting in college for theater and music. I grew up in Indonesia and have had a passion for travel ever since.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After growing up in Indonesia and traveling across the world on a regular basis, I am more than desperate to continue my travels around the world. Europe (specifically France) has always been a draw for me, so my husband and I are working towards an extended trip through Europe within the next two years. We wanted to get started with couchsurfing as we have always heard good things from friends who host and will likely make the most of it during our trip as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen and done a lot of awesome things, but one of my favorites was snorkeling in the Gili Islands and swimming with several large tortoises. Even the massive sunburn- neck to ankle- was completely worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I know a lot about dance, theatre, and singing which I'm happy to share with anyone interested. I also know quite a bit about writing/editing.

Learn: I would LOVE to learn more French, more about backpacking or general travel, and any fun recipes you have to share.

Share: I am happy to share recommendations for good books or tv shows, all sorts of dance basics, and a smile.
