Hi! I'm Maulia, but you can call me Mima. I'm from Bandung, Indonesia.

I'm deeply interested in introducing Indonesian culture, language, and etiquette—especially those rooted in Sundanese traditions. I love helping people understand how to communicate politely, what to expect in daily interactions, and how to appreciate local customs. Because, when travelers learn a bit of the local language and cultural manners, they can blend in more easily, avoid misunderstandings, and build warm connections with the local community. It also makes their travel experience more authentic, respectful, and memorable.

If you're curious about Indonesian daily life or want to explore Bandung with a local, I’d love to connect and share stories!
