Hi, I’m Stephanie, a traveler from Indonesia who loves exploring the world, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. While I’m an introvert, I truly enjoy meaningful connections and conversations with others. I’m thoughtful, curious, and always interested in learning about different experiences and perspectives.

I love traveling so much, especially exploring nature and going on pilgrimages. These journeys allow me to reconnect with myself, appreciate the beauty of the world, and deepen my faith. Capturing moments from my travels is something I enjoy, as every place has its own unique story.

I can’t drink alcohol, but I’m always happy to join and share moments in other meaningful ways. I take pride in helping to keep things clean, even though I’m not the most organized traveler. I usually go with the flow and let the journey take me wherever it leads! If you have any recommendations for places to visit in your city or nearby, I’d love to hear them and try something new.

When I’m not traveling, I work in Jakarta. I enjoy watching movies, participating in church activities, and spending time in nature.

Looking forward to meeting new friends and making unforgettable memories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new friends from around the world, learn about different cultures, and share unique experiences. I love connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and exchanging stories, ideas, and traditions.

Traveling is not just about visiting new places for me; it’s also about building meaningful connections with others and gaining new perspectives on life. Couchsurfing provides a great opportunity to immerse myself in local cultures and make lifelong friendships.

I also enjoy sharing insights about my own culture and experiences, creating a two-way exchange that makes every journey even more memorable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading books by Paulo Coelho, such as The Pilgrimage, The Alchemist, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, and The Devil and Miss Prym. I’m also a big fan of the Harry Potter books and movies—they never fail to spark my imagination and sense of wonder.

When it comes to music, I love classics like Queen, Celine Dion, and other songs from the ’90s. Worship songs are also close to my heart, as they bring peace and inspiration to my life.

For movies, I enjoy dramas, inspirational films, and those that showcase beautiful landscapes or meaningful stories. Of course, the Harry Potter series is always a favorite!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did the Camino (Santiago the Compostela) during winter, even though it was only for 5 days. The weather was challenging, especially on the second day when it rained all day. On one of the nights, I got lost in the forest with two of my closest friends. It was dark, and we even heard strange noises, which made the experience both thrilling and terrifying. After what felt like an endless search, we finally saw a light in the distance that guided us to our accommodation.

It was an unforgettable experience that taught me resilience, teamwork, and the beauty of finding hope in the darkest moments.
