About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get lost as many as possible, meet new people as many as possible, & take photos of my alter-ego, Ms. OMG!, in many countries as many as possible. Then post those to Instagram! plus, Twitter. (fyi, I tweet a lot)

ABOUT ME

I call myself as a nerd and an introvert in disguise. I love spending time in a bookstore, pampering my camera by taking pictures of the city i live or travel in, goofing around, cooking, and hanging out with friends or strangers-turn-to-be-new-friends.

I had been living and traveling for 2years in the EU, what can I say? I AM IN LOVE WITH THE EU! the people, especially.

You'll know more about me on my blog: http://bhellabhello.wordpress.com/

PHILOSOPHY

"It's always amazing to understand the unique perspective of the culture." -this sentence was taken from Indonesian tourism advertisement. And I do believe what the sentence said.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With CS, I want to be a part of the community who likes to exchange many many many things here. I can be a surfer and also a host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had been living, wandering, and getting lost in the EU. That was my first CS experience and I have been enjoying it until now. Here is my story about how have I been participating in CS:

Please do read about my Home information before you send me a Couch request. Thanks!

Interests

Meeting new people. I spend most of my time by walking leisurely in a city or going to another city in another country while taking photograph of those cities. In the weekday, I'm a system analyst and a lecturer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking, hiking, camping, and backpacking for almost two weeks in Iceland!!! and I saw glacier for the first time in my life. I still couldn't believe I could do that since I have been living my life as a city girl.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a blogger and Twitter user. I usually post and inform many things I encounter while traveling, esp. the new culture and habit I learned.

I am an Indonesian and I can tell you many about Indonesia. We are a country with 17.000 islands and more than 150 regional languages! Can you believe it? Even I cannot believe it. I can cook Indonesian food (or Chinese-Indonesian). But I am very nervous of cooking in front of people :p

Here is my blog: http://bhellabhello.wordpress.com/

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories! I have plenty stories to tell you about. Ask me about Iceland and I cannot stop talking.

Food! It depends on my free time. I would love to cook Indonesian foods for you if I have available time. or take you around the city to taste the city's best Indonesian foods.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican City State
