I'm undefined 😁

I'm 99.99999% Indonesian and 99.99999% JaVanese. I used to hate my real name because it was not Indonesian name. It was weird and strange name for local people. None of my friends in Indonesia nor even my family can pronounce my real name properly. My name is so foreign while I have this very local face 😂 , so I find myself so happy when someone calls me Gracie. It sounds like an acceptance to me.

That's how I respect other people also, by calling their name properly or by calling them with a nice name or what they want me to call them. A wise man once told me to remember people's name if I want to respect them. So correct me if I write your name in a wrong way and tell me what you want me to call you ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Learning how to respect each other, one another. Seeing things from different perspective and point of view. Nothing more interesting than having global partnership to me. Looking for souls who loves intercultural collaboration. I want to meet my sisters, from different mother and father 😄
I would love to show around my sisters-in-crime 😎

Music, Movies, and Books

Hip hop (try Jogja Hiphop Foundation, it's easy listening) and recommended movies or books 😁 (Wonder by R. J. Palacio, Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini).
I watched Heretic and Companion recently. Oh my gosh, I love this girl. Sophie Thatcher is such an amazing actress.
I was once watching a French movie but I forget the title. It was about a family whose daughters married intercultural men so their neighbor call them United Nations 😂
I also watched Italian movie which ended by the death of the main character due to war or something, he was shot by an army and he left his little son alone. Someone tell me what the title is, I forget.
I watched Cairo Time as well 😂

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I reached the top of Rinjani Mountain!
By the help of stranger who found me left alone and freezing.
Staying alive until this very moment after I hit my rock bottom the year after I climbed the mountain.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything good. I'm learning human resource management tho. I was thinking to take master degree in business management to make me easier understanding HRM, but I remember I don't like school.
I'm learning ice skating also ⛸️🧣🧤. I used to train with my sisters but I make 0 progress, like I can't even stand on my own feet when I wear the blade. It's embarrassing, I need a good coach 😂
I'm learning driving as well. I don't drive but I need to. I love riding more for sure.
I'm learning horse riding, archery, swimming, diving, business, entrepreneurship, cinematography.
Teach me anything, I can share food, room, hidden gem, local secret, cultural tour for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happiness 😇 (I hope). I don't know. I'm not sure. I never used this platform when I traveled. I have conditional diet to be made so it's better to pay a proper accommodation. I used to explore the city by myself also. May be you have any idea? What do you expect to get if an Indonesian friend visits you?

However, a Dutch once got 2 tropical long modest dresses from me and she was sooo happy with them, and I was sooo happy that she likes them. So I think I'm gonna give tropical dress to someone I meet in other countries. What do you think?

I'm also thinking about bringing Indonesian sweets wherever I go since I used to be helped by local men to find the stuff I needed, and they cannot wear dress I guess, so I will give Indonesian chocolate or cookie as a thank you ^_^
