Description
Hi! I’m Kurnia, and I live with my husband and our three wonderful daughters in a friendly, culturally rich neighborhood in Malang, East Java.
Our home is full of warmth, laughter, and meaningful activities — when you stay with us, you’ll quickly become part of the family! 💛
⸻
👨👩👧👧 Meet Our Family
We’re a homeschooling family, so our days are full of creativity and curiosity. Each of our girls has her own passions:
🎤 Our oldest (14) is fluent in English (even more confident than me!) and loves public speaking and playing guitar.
🎹 Our second daughter is learning German and piano, and enjoys discovering new cultures.
🎈 Our youngest is full of energy and always ready to join any fun activity!
⸻
