About Me

I'm originally from Madiun, East Java. Now I'm in Surabaya working and studying.

My instagram account: @pbestariati
Let's be mutual there! ;)

I love traveling a lot!
Especially being a solo traveler and getting new pals during my trip are the best thing I could experience in my life!

I'm fun, but sometimes I do something based on my mood :( that's a bad side of me

I'm a good and honest person, I'm open minded, I don't care what religion that you believe in, the color of your eye, your skin, even your hair, as long as we can respect each other why not we talk more(?)

I really love making friends with people in different backgrounds, that what makes my love complete. I love difference and peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna find friends from all around the world, especially when Indonesians or foreigners are near my position. I really love to share lots of stories. Making friends with strangers then become close friend is one of my fave things to do. You know, networking is important and also a fun thing in this life ;)

Interests

I have lots of interests which may be the same thing to you. I love doing something new, and always passionate to learn new languages. But, I love language that can be written in alphabet instead of those language that can't be written in alphabet. Such as, I love English and dutch. I don't really like japanese, cause it's so confusing. Dunno how to read it haha.

I love everything about entrepreneurship, because I'm an economy and business faculty student. I wanna be a sociopreneur someday😄

I do love backpacking alone (of course)
Because I would like to meet and talk to strangers. Sharing stories and experiences which are able to increase my knowledge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding my motocycle from my hometown to Surabaya by myself (the distance is about 150km), and it only took 3 hours, include the rest time for me to refill the fuel in gas station. Some people thought it's crazy cause I'm a girl. But, I think it was fun. I love riding my motorcycle going to precious places.

On October 2016, I came to Semarang alone. Agh, it aint that far actually, it's about 250km from Surabaya. But, I really had fun stories to tell!

On January 2017, I went to Bandung alone, it's more than 700km from Surabaya. I didn't prepare so much actually and almost canceled because of something. But, finally I did it!

On February 2017, I had my first flight ever to Borneo before my golden birthday on Feb 20th.

On Dec 2018, I had my very first solo traveling to Penang, Malaysia. I've been travelling to some places in Indonesia alone. But, this one was special cause it's my first time traveling to abroad just by myself, and the time I was traveling there in the middle of my final semester exam week😂 just need a space from my exams to have fun! Haha.
It was more than 1,200 miles from Surabaya to Penang.
I was having a culture shock in my first day cause I didn't expect that more than 50% are Chinese people in Penang😅
It was pretty hard to find halal food.
But, overall Penang was so pretty and worth to visit again! I miss Penang already :')
