I'm a filmmaker from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends." - Maya Angelou

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked The Great Wall of China, fought thieving monkeys in Bali, lunched with the Hobbits and cruised glow worm cave in New Zealand, shook hands with kangaroos in Australia, and did a pilgrim with 3 million people in Mecca.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and teach you some Indonesian cuisine and as a milk tea fan the Malaysian Teh Tarik and Indian Chai. I also made it a habit to give my travel buddies small traditional Indonesian souvenirs. I'm a professional filmmaker, so i might be available to assist your photography/videography needs.
