Hi there! I’m Sayyidatul Imamah, but you can call me Dayu. I’m a graduate student living in New York City, originally from a small village in Indonesia. Growing up surrounded by nature and family values taught me to appreciate simple joys, the beauty of the outdoors, and the importance of gratitude.

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing stories, laughs, and maybe an adventure or two!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of locals. I love exploring new destinations, learning about their unique stories, and uncovering hidden gems that you won’t find in a guidebook.

Interests

Writing, reading, hiking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Lately, I’ve been loving The Marias. Their sound is so dreamy and perfect for setting a relaxing mood.

Movies: I’m a big fan of horror movies! My top two favorites are When Evil Lurks and Suspiria.

Books: Literature holds a special place in my heart. I adore books that explore deep, meaningful themes, and my favorite author is Sigrid Nunez. Her work always leaves me inspired and thoughtful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always eager to learn more about the places I visit, especially from a local perspective. I’d love to hear about your experiences, traditions, and favorite spots. I’m also open to picking up new skills or hobbies—teach me something you’re passionate about!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a huge nature lover and enjoy hiking, but I also appreciate the energy and excitement of exploring a city. I’m a good listener and would love to hear about your experiences too.

More than anything, I hope to bring good company, mutual respect, and gratitude to your space. I’d love to connect, learn from you, and make our time together memorable.
