About Me

Traveling is my passion and my goal is to visit all 7 continents in my lifetime (including Antarctica!). Because, I believe that traveling is the best way to explore the richness of various cultures while meeting new and exciting people. I'm an Indonesian currently working and living in Himeji, Japan, near Osaka, and fluent in Indonesian, English, Japanese, and a tiny bit of conversational German. On my weekends I usually do traveling around Kansai area, attending international Meetups and running! Although when I'm feeling tired, Netflix and a good cup of tea is the next best thing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even though I have traveled to many countries, I feel that I should engage more with many people across different nationalities, so I want to make new friends while sharing my stories and experiences of my travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in Indonesian, English and Japanese (both conversational and reading kanji), so I could teach some of my language skills. Also, I have been living in Japan for 3.5 years (as of October 2018), and I have travelled all the way from the south (Okinawa) to the north (Hokkaido); so I could give many useful tips regarding travel within Japan, especially in Kansai Area (Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, Himeji)
