I am Nelson Semol Kalay. People simply call me Echon. Originally I come from Ambon, a small city in the Eastern part of Indonesia. Currently, I live in Tarutung, North Sumatera, West Indonesia. Tarutung is located nearby Lake Toba, one of the biggest volcanic Lake in the world that was formed thousand years ago. Tarutung is also an old town and culturally becoming the center for the Bataknese Ethnic and for Christian history in the northern Sumatera. If you would like to visit either Ambon or North Sumatera do not be hesitate to let me know. It would be great to host you!
