I'm a professional stone carver born and raised in Bali, Indonesia. My wife is English/American and we have 2 amazing children. I love to learn about other carvers around the world and am fortunate to have been able to travel a little bit to practice my craft. I'm a really chilled-out person and love to meet new friends around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel but don't have a lot of money and also think it's an amazing way to meet new people. I would also love to welcome people into my home where they can learn what it's like to live in a Balinese family compound.

Interests

Stone carving, art, sculpture, design. I love the museums and architecture in Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won first prize at the European Stone Festival in Freiburg,Germany in 2011...and I was the only non-European carver there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to give lessons in stone carving and hope to open my own business doing this soon. I also enjoy showing people what Bali is really like outside the main tourist areas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Balinese culture and lots of laughs and big smiles.
