I am Indonesian who just moved to London for pursuing a Master degree in Development Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Currently I live at university's flat sharing with other five mates.

Before I resumed my status as a full-time student, I used to work as a communications consultant for two years in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Since I am new in London, I am not the expert to tour you around. However, I am keen on opportunities of exploring London together. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making connection with new people from around the globe is one of my favourites! I love travelling and being exposed to breathtaking, surprising, interesting, and peculiar culture in every place.

While I may not be able to step my feet on every place in the world, I believe I can be exposed to the same things when I befriend with the world's wanderers.

Not to mention, I have been longing to be a part of this community since I listened to all interesting Couchsurfing experiences from my good friend.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, I am not a religious follower of particular genres. I listen to any type of music- be it rock, jazz, pop, classic, EDM. As long as the music has good tunes and beautiful lyrics, I will appreciate it.

Movies-wise, you can call me childish, but I really like Home Alone series and all Disney and Pixar movies, no matter how many times I watch them. My more contemporary favourite list spans from Kingsman, Inside Out, Age of Adeline, to Fast and Furious.

Contrary to being "atheist" in music category, I do have my own "religion" on TV series. I really love watching Newsroom, Scandal, Boston Legal, and The West Wing.

My favourite books are those, which written by Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho, and Malcolm Gladwell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left my promising career at awesome office with super kind bosses and colleagues plus students in an alternative school where I joined, to pursue Master study in a different area.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Indonesian language and culture (especially swearing in Indonesian), traditional dance, and some serious stuffs, such as politics, international relations, public relations, and socio-economic development.

Learn: cook your country's signature dish (when it comes to kitchen, I am seriously clueless) and your language.

Share: As long as you don't ask me to share my life with you, I am quite generous to share anything else with you - given I have a good reason to do so. :)
