Hello there! My name is Zolanski-Genta, a 20 year-old last year student of International Relations Department, Social and Political Sciences Studies Faculty, Universitas Indonesia. I have huge interest in cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, as well as music festivals and culinary exploration. I would like to share you all the things about my Indonesian culture through a new different perspective; as a minority who lives in this huge country.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I hope to know many new friends and get to share lots of amazing experiences with them! As a student, what matters most about travelling for me would be the limitless experience I'm about to get and the friendship that might mean so much for my in the future. Seeing that I've been living under my parents' guard for the past 20 years of my life, I'm deciding to go out there and experience what the world could offer me.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have gotten away from my severe depression and substance abuse; thus now I am having much happier, fuller, and of course healthier life than ever and I'm ready to get myself even more good things in my future travelling plans!

教，学，和分享

Teach: I might be able to teach English and French and maybe Indonesian because I have been tutoring languages for nearly 4 years now. I might as well teach about Indonesian culture, our society, the truth and facts about my country and of course some food recipes.

Learn: I'd love to learn about the individual that I meet, their life experiences, and perhaps the identity that they attribute themselves too. Not limited to only their culture but perhaps also their customs, their believe, their language, and above all their food!

Share: I can totally share them delicious Indonesian foods, and also Indonesian hand-made crafts. I might be able to also share some of my knowledge and experience.
