Travelling, art, history and photography are always my great passion. I therefore would like to share the fascinating friendliness, life style, entertainment, culinary and history of Jakarta to our guests. Jakarta is a fast growing multicultural city where a variety traditional and modern culture have flourished amazingly. I have fully Covid-19 vaccinated + booster shot, and been professionally trained by the Jakarta Tourism and Culture Office. My tour follows the health and safety protocols. I previously worked for more than 10 years in the U.S. Embassy Jakarta as political and information assistant. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Deakin University, Vic, Australia. Finally I am the founder and chair of Friends of Children's Ward foundation and member of ROTARY International Club.
