Hello, good people! I am Diah, a traveller. I have traveled from one problem to another. Anyway, I love sharing and listening to stories (or anything) expecially about life and experience. If you have the same interest or just need a friend to hang out, feel free to hit me up :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking forward to meet good people and opportunity.
Meeting new people can help me understanding about the differences, and moreover it helps me knowing myself better. Some meetings don't leave a good end but it always gives a good lesson. For example, a lesson to know what I like and what I don't (that I didn't know before), to see who really I am deeper. So I don't expect people meeting me and leaving a good end (a bad end is okay too).

Interests

I am a learner who keep "growing" and trying to enjoy the process of maturity. I am a talkative and open minded person who is trying to be a good listener. Well, actually sometimes I turn into silent mode as adulting is not as fun as I though when I was kid.

Besides that, I am also a person who likes to do random things such as dancing weird accidently (when I feel confortable with people arround me) and having silly imagination, like: do you think an elephant can sink since he has two fins on its head? And when the elephant flaps the ears too fast, do you think he can fly? -- wait! He? What if the elephant is female? Haha.

More about me: I am a babysitter and have been into it since 2019. Just graduated from my master in early childhood education. In short, I am eager to learn about children (and children inside the adults' bodies). I am sure we're gonna be matched if you have the same interest; can be child development, parenting, childhood trauma, inner child, etc. But if not, no worries at all! We can talk about life and its madness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Moving on in three days after breaking seven-years love story up. Ops! But that was a lie. I had been still crying even after one year later.

- Missing my flight in Singapore, wearing sun glasses in the dark morning and crying alone at the lobby.

- Being tense during the trip to Ijen crater because I faked the identities of 4 foreigners (my friends) to get local prices. Meanwhile, I was the only local in the group. LOL! But finally we passed it in the end. (Please, no! Don't ask me to do that again haha)

- I am still alive; I can feel my breath, my heart beats with my consciousness.
