About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being a good-reliable translator )).
Just created a group for Jakarta-residents with same interest(s) exploring our hometown using public transports.
Foreigners in Jakarta are welcome to "annoy" me with anything you wanna know abt.. ))

ABOUT ME

Generally speaking,I'm just another ordinary Indonesian woman who has been living in Jakarta since I was born. Jakarta is where my childhood memories located, a place where I grew up with my family and found lots of wonderful friends every now and then.

I survive my life mostly with some good Indonesian coffee and Jazzy tunes.

I'm now on meet-up mode and try helping other requests from fellow travelers.
More than happy to return hospitalities I got whenever I couchsurfed everywhere else.

Whatever we end up doing, please be ready to adventure Jakarta as a real local!

PHILOSOPHY

1. Berdoa. Berusaha. Bersyukur. Sounds cliche but so far it works well for me.
2. Because my travel broadens my mind...
3. I appreciate a sincere friendship; once you break it, you'll be deleted from my list of friends once for all.
4. What goes around comes around - do you believe in Karma?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
