I am an enthusiastic and quite well-organized person. I like to plan for everything, especially making travel plan. I love travelling and when I start to plan it, I feel the happiness inside me. Some of my friends told me that sometime I should start my own travel agent.

I am a friendly person, like to meet new people and love to chat about anything. I am also a last minute person...What do I mean last minute? Ok, I will be honest that I am a kind of person that will be arrive in train station 5 minutes before my train departs. I usually run to catch my bus or train almost every time I travel :P. It's a bad habit and at the moment I am struggling to change that. wish me luck!

I read books but quite often ended up by not finishing it, so I prefer to watch movies than reading books anyway.

Since I left my country to study here, I started to cook. I love cooking and found that I am totally not a bad cook. I cook mostly Indonesian food and a bit Chinese food (I live around Newcastle Chinatown so all I can found is Chinese ingredients). If I have spare time, I would like to learn cooking Italian food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I knew Couchsurfing from some of my friends who really experienced good time travelling and meeting new people from Couchsurfing. I heard incredible stories about how they meet interesting people, learn different cultures, and become local!
I was on Couchsurfing back then in 2010 but never been an active member. As I dedicated this year for studying (and travelling), I am so into Couchsurfing. Can't wait to experience the journey..

Interests

Architecture and urban design. I was working as architect before taking my master degree here. Famous architecture masterpiece and city planning gallery are my must visit places when travelling around.

Travelling. Although I only have so little experience in travelling, I like to explore even every single part of city I live in. I enjoy travel to beaches and islands, big modern cities, as well as countryside. Never really love outdoor mountainous activity but would love to try.

Local food. I like to taste and learn how to cook local food.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been listening to Coldplay since junior high school. Really hope they will have tour around UK this year when I am studying here.
My favorite movies so far is Love Actually. A bit cheesy girl movie but never bored to watch it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being here is one amazing thing that I've done. I always want to study abroad and this year I have a chance to do it. Many thanks to Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education to make it (and I believe hundreds of Indonesian student around the globe will say the same :) )

As architect I proudly say I make one Toyota outlet in Alam Sutera, Tangerang, Indonesia from a scratch. From an empty land to a well-operated showroom and workshop.
