A tiny girl with explosive mind, loves to cook, generally bubbly. A PR for an NGO, and has been working for non profits for long. She cooks. She is interesting, in general. Lol.

PS. This is couchsurfing, not a dating app. Please behave accordingly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people!!! I love hanging out.
I came from a very mixed family: Minahasa-Javanese-Osing-Sangir-Gorontalo-Cantonese (paternal side) and Yemeni-Sundanese-Ngapak-Javanese (maternal side).
I grew up in so many places and islands, and I found there is this tiny line between traveling and actually living. I grew up in one airplane cabin to another. I lived in Cirebon, Merauke, Bandung, Cilacap, Purwokerto, Yogya, Bogor, and Jakarta.
I lived in other countries too, but the point of this part is: I'd like to experience what my ancestors did too, to meet people from any background.

I took IR for my BA and studied Ethnic and Minority Policy for my MA, and I professionally worked in several women-focused organizations and initiatives.
