ABOUT ME

Hi!

I'm Rika, and not really a brave traveler. My travel portfolio won't impress you, but I'm really looking for the possibilities to travel more!

I might say that I'm an easy going, cheerful, yet silly girl. I'm super tropical, really love the warm weather. Keen on hiking, but really hate the cold as reach the top of the mountain.

I love to meet new people, and find new ideas through a nice yet warm conversation.

Easily impressed, easily touched, yet easily feel happy just by simple things.

PHILOSOPHY

The universe won't change our destiny, unless we struggle to change it by ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to meet and hang around with new people, but my condition won't allow me to share couch. Still, I'm open for drink, or accompanying you to look around the city :)

Interests

Beach
I love diving, snorkelling, swimming, or just reading by the beach.

Literature
I love surreal work, love the works from Haruki Murakami and Franz Kafka. Also love to write short story and poetry.

Environment and human rights issues.
Well, I have no choice, those two are the only things that we have.

Body and mind
Love to work out. I regularly practice yoga, body balance (yoga-taichi-pilates fushion), and body combat (martial art fusion). and a litle bit running.

Party
Actually I love in-house party more than the club, but as long as I could dance till I can't feel my feet anymore, who cares .

Music, Movies, and Books

Little Miss Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Lola Ren, Before Sunset, Before Sunrise, Dead Poet Society, Stolen Summer.

Some of the music that I listen to are The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, The Civil Wars, The Drums, Fleet Foxes, Of Monsters and Men, Passion Pit, Regina Spektor, Yeah yeah yeahs, Blur, Wild Belle, and start to listen to Lorde. One of the best OST ever for me is Tarzan by Phil Collins and the soundtrack of Amelie.

I love all Murakami's work, but currently I read I am a Cat by Soseki Natsume. I also keen on Jean Paul Sartre (I love the latest print: Nausea) and Roland Barthes (a lover discourse is awesome). I used to read Paulo Coelho and Mitch Albom earlier in uni.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share the art of cooking simple Indonesian dishes, or in my case: throw everything to the pan! Haha...

Or, let's do some basic yoga movement. I'm not an instructor, but I could be a good yoga partner.
