CURRENT MISSION

to bend a spoon with my mind

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20 year old graphic design student currently studying abroad in Rotterdam. I grew up in Indonesia and moved to the US when I was eight. I'm a really curious person and like asking people random questions. I love swimming in rivers, making breakfast for dinner, going on adventures, and having picnics. I love music and I can listen to (and like) a lot of different types of music. I especially love it when people I'm with play instruments. I used to play piano and am dabbling in guitar but what I want to learn how to play the harmonica (transportable!).

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice because most other people are nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of right now I'm just surfing on other people's couches because I'm studying abroad, but next year, when I return home I will definitely be opening up my living room for fellow travelers.

Interests

Right now I'm studying graphic design, but I love all types of art; drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, fashion, etc. I also like to cook. A lot of times my creations aren't that delicious, but I do it anyway. Eating and drinking are also my interests...can those be interests? And finally, I like reading post-apocalyptic 12-year old fiction.
