About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to get out as often as possible from of the same old place I've been living for ages

ABOUT ME

I need traveling to lift my spirit. Routine activities often make me sad. Love Tintin and got inspired by the wanderlust reporter. Being born in a non-travel-loving family and only got to see wonderful places by watching TV or reading when I was a kid, I quench my thirst for traveling with my friends and/or cousins.

PHILOSOPHY

everything around and about you has a purpose, a nice one, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I cannot afford to offer a couch, I'm willing to accompany couchsurfer(s) to go around Jakarta and its surrounding cities

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

never from this site. but last year my friends and I went to a secluded national park on Java island. someone we know from the internet offered us to stay in his house. It was a memorable experience as not only did we get the chance to see the beauty of the place, but we also experienced the typical lifestyle, food, and tradition of our host and his big family.
