2017 is the year I moved out to Africa and instantly fell in love with this continent, its rich cultures, and the friendly people. I lived for 2 years in Norway, the place stole my heart. But Africa is beyond all things. I couldn't express how big my interest and curiosity about everything here.

I'm currently residing in Wau City, South Sudan, and spending my daily life as a Volunteer environmental officer in a mission. During my stay here, I want to explore as many countries as I can in Africa and meet as many local people as I can to exchange stories and learn a lot from them.

When it comes to personality, I'm easygoing, flexible, and don't get angry easily ;) you might find me quiet at the first time. But trust me, I'm a kind of person who loves a long discussion or late night funny jokes :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and learning new things and seeing other people's perspectives on life and cultures. But I'm an introvert. If I travel somewhere and stay in a hotel, I won't be making a lot of friends. Couchsurfing is a way that has helped me make new friends from all over the world. And traveling is the best when we're with local people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to top 40 musics, ballads, pop, and anything easy-listening. I'm not into rap or country :/ but I still can listen to them. It's music anyway. And I always eager to listen to music from all over the world.

Books: I'm into thriller, horror, detective stories and crime novels. I also read comic books... A LOT.

Movies: Any movie with jaw breaking plot twist? I'm IN! I also enjoy romance or drama with those heartwarming plots. And I'm in love with foreign movies (non-English). European, Bollywood, Indonesian. Anything. I basically watched everything even though I'm not really into sci-fi or superheroes ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life is already amazing, duh.. (LOL. Just Kidding) I live an amazingly normal life.
But I think exploring Norway and Iceland were quite amazing. I went glacier hike, witnessed the aurora borealis on a dog sled (and my dogs took a detour to chase a moose -_-), snorkeled in Silfra, and nailed the scenic hills (Preikestolen, Trolltunga, and Kjeragbolten) in Norway.
The other amazing thing I do right now is living in the youngest nation on earth :)

Teach, Learn, Share
