Hi! I am Martha. I am from Indonesia, currently studying in London majoring in Creative & Cultural Industries. My hometown is Manado, the best city in Indonesia to go for diving. I’m enrolled in Goldsmiths University of London as a master’s student (yes, at the age of 19, long story!) and I fancy going to arts institutions; museums, galleries, music studios, theatres, you name it!
I lived in Singapore for 3 years during my undergrad and that’s where I honed my skills in cooking Asian food! I’m constantly improving my skills particularly for Chinese hotpot :) other than that I’m a coffee person, i like it black, bitter, and strong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You’ll never know what story a person can tell and share to you and how big it can impact your life; so meeting new people is always exciting and unpredictable. And since I’m down for it, hence why I’m here.
