About Me
I was born in Indonesia, but I am currently a student in Glasgow, Scotland. I have been living away from my family since my teenage years, but I consider myself to be lucky as I have been able to see the world at a young age. This has shaped my personality a lot: I am curious and I am passionate. I enjoy learning and discovering new things, meeting new people and understanding other cultures.
In my spare time I take pictures, read and write for my blog. I love ling stories of my travels, of places far away, and sharing not just the moment, but the also the long story. Find me in or to read my stories.
