Hi, this is Budd. I live in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Mother of 3 wonderful children and a Bombay cat!
I'm mostly a solitude person who enjoy tranquility, chill music and smooth dance, calm atmosphere and deep talk. It was once stay at home is my real hobby and the same few old friends for years never bother me. But as the time went on, I've finally found out that I leave something unspoken : I need to go out and do more travel. I need more friends in life. I need to see and hear new things more than just what I've seen on screen. Since then I encourage myself to go out to see what happen around with my very eyes and it turns out that I've so enjoyed that!
Now since the world gettin quieter from the outbreak I am so craving of travel further and meet new people again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are so many. But to have my children exist in the world and teach them to survive in the wildlife is something beyond amazing for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have 14 years of teaching experience in 2 elementary schools. And currently I'm studying German to support my interest. Now while working as Payroll Staff in Education Board, I also teach History, Geography and English in a special weekend class in a Learning Center for the drop-out youngsters and adults who want to continue their secondary and high grade. I also pay attention in Children and Women's Welfare, that's why I and some of our co-workers here continuously share insights and beneficial skills to empower them in my neighbourhood whenever I have time. I love to learn a lot about psychology, culture, marine and forest ecology too.
