ABOUT ME

I'm a Museum-Nerd with an odd mix of real fun.

I was an international student in a U.S master program hoping to get the most out of my stay in US by joining CS. Through CS I have met new friends and even BEST friends. I graduated in May 2010 and then after that I traveled to a few places in Asia, either for pleasure or just for work.I came back to Indonesia on August 2010, was moving around in some parts of Indonesia, lived and work in Bali for 3 years, moved back to Jakarta for a few projects, and now in Dubai for a few museum projects.

I love experiencing new things as long as it not criminal or would not get me killed.

I think a cold shower right after a hot bubble bath is a gift of life.

I'm quite honest, blunt and can be RUDE-ly honest.

I think I'm pretty much easy going but half of the time I'm not. I would appreciate brutal honesty better than being polite, that is how to know people sincierely.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you didn't learnt anything today, be grateful that you didn't die" (Buddha)
"Man Jadda Wa Jadda", means Whomever earnestly tried, he/she will get it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was an avid guide for Philadelphia, and for areas with archaeological sites in Java, Bali and Jambi of Sumatera in Indonesia. I can definitely show you around there or give you travel tips for those areas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS hosting experience was one French CSer + one U.S CSer + a homeless girl whom we met on the way back from a night out. It was a cold night between fall and winter and small rains falling throughout the evening. So we took the homeless girl in and stayed over at my place.
