Hello 👋
My name is Tika.
Grew up in tropical Indonesia 🏝️, now based in Europe in the past decade.

People I met during my backpacking travels often said that I'm the first Indonesian they've ever met. 🤷‍♀️
Same case with you?

Considering we're almost 300mil people, what are the odds!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I "only" need a place to crash, or when my energy level is low, I would choose Airbnb or hotels to fully rest my body from all the traveling exhaustion.

However, some days, when I can spare some energy to be social, I deliberately choose CS, craving for the human ✨interactions✨. Genuinely wanting to make connection with my hosts/guests🫂.
It is nice to feel a sense of ✨"connectedness"✨ when you're traveling to place you've never been!

Although I only have the means to travel for short duration each time 1-3 days (due to my limited vacation days on budget), I want to make the most out of my brief visit, through meaningful heart-warming encounters with hosts and fellow travelers.

In the past I've also been hosted by wonderful people, in CS, and also I did exchange study in the US where I was hosted for an ENTIRE year by a generous American family!
Would love to pass their energy forward to my future guests.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can consult about traveling tips (I've traveled to over 50 countries)

I can teach you how to make quick authentic Indonesian comfort food with simple building blocks

I have logistics/supply chain professional background if you like some advice for your business

What I Can Share with Hosts

As an exhange for your time to welcome us, we offer
traditional authentic Indonesian spices !!! 🥳

We can also cook for you with it, but it really depends on our energy level and your energy level (because we'll need your help cutting onions haha), and how much time we share at your home, and also how much you allow your kitchen to smell so spicy and fragrant 🍙🌻🌶️ but if we end up cooking, I will do and pay the groceries myself

Good vibes, manners, cleaning up after ourselves are also part of the deal 🤜🤛
