About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have moved to Jakarta and am still discovering all its wonders.

ABOUT ME

I was a Canadian expat (now I am Indonesian!) married to an Indonesian and have lived in Indonesia since 1993.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is as much a spiritual journey as it is a temporal one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Up until 2011, we enjoyed hosting at our home in Kalimantan, the most interesting people from all over the world. We have yet to surf.

Now that we are in transition in moving to Jakarta we cannot host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is wonderful to get to know so many people from so many diverse cultures and backgrounds! Jakarta couchsurfing communities are diverse. Check out a couple if you can.

Interests

  • coffee
  • shopping
  • reading
  • cycling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Toba Lake is beautiful!!! That is where I will retire with a little coffee shop of my own. Ha! Ha!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are willing to talk to anyone along your journey here, you will find Indonesia very very friendly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer to cook either pancakes for breakfast or pasta for dinner.
