About Me

Now back in the city of Jakarta and ready to mingle with people!

a queer (a proud one) and at the same time an Indonesian. The combination of both might be considered as challenging life experience, which is true in most of the times, anyway...life would be so boring without challenges and adventures.

an advocate for equality, a world traveler, a cook, I enjoy cooking and eating very much. especially spicy ones.

I enjoy talking with people over coffee/tea/cider/gin, not a big fan of beers. Sorry..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

contributing to the goal of making the world a acceptable place to live and travel.

Interests

- a fan of nature (beach and mountain, lakes, the list can go further)

- I love cooking

- politics and development, human rights and gender.

- Yes, I enjoy drinking, but beer is not my cup of tea
