Hi! I’m Cindhe from Jakarta 🇮🇩

I’m a librarian, community organizer, and urban farming enthusiast. Most of my time is spent creating safe and inclusive public spaces for children, families, and the community through literacy programs, environmental activities, and cultural exchange.

I love meaningful conversations, listening to people’s stories, and sharing everyday life rather than touristy experiences.

I enjoy simple things: talking over ice cream, walking around local neighborhoods, visiting libraries, public parks, community spaces, and trying local food. I’m always happy to learn about different cultures and perspectives.

I value respect, clear communication, and kindness. I believe every meeting is an opportunity to learn and grow together.

Looking forward to exchanging stories and experiences with you...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to experience meaningful cultural exchange and connect with people beyond borders.

I believe traveling and meeting new people is not just about places, but about stories, perspectives, and everyday life. Through Couchsurfing, I enjoy learning directly from locals, sharing conversations, and understanding cultures in a more personal and respectful way.

For me, Couchsurfing is about community, trust, and mutual respect, whether it’s sharing a meal, walking around the neighborhood, or simply exchanging stories over coffee.

I’m here to meet open-minded people, broaden my worldview, and create genuine connections based on kindness and curiosity.

Interests

I’m interested in philosophy, social issues, and meaningful conversations about life and society. I enjoy reflecting on ideas from Stoicism and critical perspectives that challenge the status quo.

I love spending time in community spaces, libraries, and green areas. Urban farming, literacy, and social inclusion are close to my heart.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to jazz, classical, and bedroom music, reading philosophy books, and watching Korean dramas or emotionally driven films with deep stories and sad endings.

I appreciate slow moments, honest conversations, and simple activities that feel human and grounding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
I enjoy philosophy books, Stoicism, and leftist literature. I like reading books that question life, society, and power structures, and that invite reflection and critical thinking.

Music
I love jazz, classical music, and bedroom music something calm, intimate, and perfect for late-night thoughts or quiet conversations.

Movies
I enjoy Korean dramas and movies with emotional depth, especially films with sad endings or strong human stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done is helping build a community-based public space where literacy, urban farming, and social inclusion come together.

Through my work, I’ve been involved in creating programs that empower children, families, and the elderly turning a shared space into a place for learning, growth, and connection. Seeing people from different backgrounds feel safe, heard, and valued in that space has been deeply meaningful to me.

It reminded me that small, consistent efforts can create real impact when they are rooted in care and collaboration.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and share experiences about community development, literacy programs, public libraries, and urban farming in an urban setting.

I’m eager to learn about different cultures, everyday life in other countries, local traditions, and how communities grow and support each other around the world.

I love sharing stories, ideas, simple meals, music, and meaningful conversations that create mutual understanding and connection.
