Overview
About Me
Indonesian-born explorer with a heart that belongs to the mountains and the sea.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m here because I believe that the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of its people. As a nature lover, I’ve realized that the most breathtaking spots in Indonesia are often shared through word-of-mouth by fellow travelers and locals. I want to connect with like-minded souls, share stories under the stars, and find people who appreciate the raw beauty of our planet as much as I do.
Interests
I’m mostly driven by anything that involves the great outdoors. My main interest lies in volcano trekking—there’s nothing like the feeling of reaching an Indonesian peak at dawn. When I’m not on a mountain, you’ll find me chasing waterfalls in hidden valleys or snorkeling in the middle of the sea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I've seen is the vast, unfiltered Milky Way stretching across the Indonesian sky. Standing in total darkness, miles away from city lights, and seeing the stars so bright they felt close enough to touch. It’s a humbling reminder of how vast the universe is and how beautiful our world can be when we just look up.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to survive the humid Indonesian jungles and some basic Bahasa Indonesia to get you around. In return, I’m eager to learn about your culture and perhaps some photography tips to better capture my journeys. I’m always happy to share my curated list of Indonesia's hidden natural wonders and, of course, some authentic local foods!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love bringing a piece of my culture to every home I visit. I can share insider tips and 'hidden gems' of Indonesia, the best spots for nature and stargazing that you won't find in any guidebook. If you are curious about my language, I’d be happy to teach you some Bahasa Indonesia over a conversation.
Beyond cultural exchange, I am a very handy and respectful guest. I believe in being helpful, so I’m always happy to assist with daily chores or any light work around the house. I’m tidy, easy-going, and I always make sure to leave your space as clean as I found it.
