About Me

A reguler and fuzzy person who often try to escape from ambitious and competitive life of medical school. If Hermione Granger called as muddy blood, well I never find a person who is more "muddy" than me. I'm Indonesian-Chinese with quarter Vietnamese blood who live in Yogyakarta,the capital culture of Indonesia. My hometown was the most "philosopher" city in Indonesia! However, was born in Ambon which known as the Hawaii of Indonesia that is very affected with Dutch and Portuguese culture. Move to Yogyakarta, due to a war in Ambon (well, it was the biggest and longest bloody conflict in Indonesia). Facing many and "rojak" culture in my own country make me understand many type of different cultures and uniqueness of my beloved country!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Involving with locals communities and having the non tourist atmosphere when you're travelling is actually the best part of every single trip. You can immersed with their real habit, culture, non "sugar-coated" local's foods, and the best part is to making friend from all over the world, despite of business and money matters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was invited by Minister of Foreign Affair Indonesia to become their representative speaker in International Conference of Maritime Cooperation between ASEAN and China.
Let's come to a bit crazy thing, I was fainting twice in Angkor Wat due to diarrheas, but I finished the whole temple trip in SiemRiep just in one day! Thanks to Pocari Sweat! Also was jogging in -5 celsius along stream-side only on T-shirt and short (sounds great for tropical person like me) then got sick at the next day

Teach, Learn, Share

Not many people know crazy things about Indonesia (come on guys, Bali Island is just too mainstream. Our country consist of more than 17000 islands!!!) You should invite and come to me, if you want to know anything about Indonesia!! Moreover, as a medical students, I really love to share my knowledge about health to everyoneI really like to learn and share language, the story of places, and foods. I am also able to ride scooter/motorbike
