About Me

My name is beautiful and historical, right? But, I am a pure Indonesian (now living in Shenzhen), and there's nothing to do with Leonardo Davinci.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am actually new in CS. I heard stories from my friends that in CS we can meet a lot of different people with great experiences from all over the world. I would like to host and to be hosted like what my friends do. It sounds really nice to me. So, why not joining?

Interests

To be a writer is one of my dreams, that's why I love writing. But, sometimes I don't find the way to express boxes of thought in my head into words. And traveling help me a lot to write. Basically, I write narrative poems.
I also like to discuss about cultures, feminism and masculinity. It seems to be intriguing when talking about the human nature. If you also like to talk about these issues, you have found the right one. I love cooking, especially spicy and salty meals (very much Indonesian). I can make Indonesian food for you.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC

The only instrument that I can play is guitar but I am not a pro (please teach me). I love pop songs and indie music; Kings of Convenience, Coldplay, Payung Teduh, Banda Neira, Layur, Noah Clouds, Kimbra, etc.

BOOKS
I read Shakespeare' sonnets, Hemingway, Achebe, and etc., but my favorite books are Indonesian literature like the works of Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Danarto, and Dee.

MOVIES
Not really got a lot of times to watch, but Korean dramas 👍
