I'm a film student and filmmaker from Jakarta, Indonesia. I'm curious about the world and the diverse cultures it has to offer. For me traveling isn't just for the sake of experience, but also to learn, understand others, and broaden my perspective of the world and life itself.

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
