More details about my language interests
English is my native language and I'm very enthusiastic about it as I love to write. I'm very willing to have a chat and I can also teach you how to speak like an Australian as well haha. I speak Indonesian but since I never learnt the language formally, my reading and writing leaves much to be desired. I'm super keen on improving it so if there's anyone out there that can have a conversation with me I'm all ears. I recently started learning Spanish from travelling around Latin America and Spain. Help me please!

More details about your skills

Talking to people of all sorts. But I'm willing to give things all things a crack. Throw me in the deep end!

My educational background is in Software Engineering although I think I'd be better suited as a project manager rather than writing algorithms. Most of my work experience actually comes from Sales & Finance and so I know how to sweet talk haha.

In 2023, I got involved with facilitating science workshops for grade 7-8 students in Nepal. The issue was that many Nepalese schools were still using traditional methodologies such as reading and writing from a textbook to learn. Our goal was to expose students to practical ways of learning to make it more engaging and fun. My role included preparing and conducting these workshops.

In 2025, I volunteered in a unique hostel in Nicaragua called Treehouse. As the name implies, everything is indeed in a treehouse in the jungle! It's unique because there is a maximum of 30 guests every week and they must book from Thursday to Sunday. The hostel offers a number of activities for the guests such as yoga and football, while also hosts a rave on Friday which is open to the public. My role favourite role at Treehouse was the trivia master but I also contributed to the reception, bar and general housekeeping.

What else ...

I'm a very outgoing and chatty individual, however I still like having my own time and I can be very introverted despite how most people perceive me.

I enjoy everything outdoors, both the beach and the mountain, as long as the sun is shining! I really enjoy hiking, trekking and camping. When I'm near the water, I love to scuba dive. I would love to learn how to sail.

I'm learning guitar so that would be very cool if you had one or could teach me.

I also enjoy cooking. I've learnt so much about food this trip so I want to see more ways people prepare and eat their meals.
