I am a passionate traveler who loves to explore new places and cultures, as well as discover lesser known stories and personalities of the places I visit. As a host, I enjoy meeting guests from all walks of life, learning about their culture, language, and experiences. I believe that sharing these experiences, stories, and cultures can bring us closer together, and I always strive to make my guests feel comfortable, respected, and welcomed in my home.
This neighborhood is situated in a beautiful countryside location surrounded by pine trees and forest, offering a stunning valley view. The nearest tourist attraction is the famous Batasia Loop, just 5min walk away. The main town is also only 6 km away, making it a convenient location for those wanting to experience the peaceful environment of the countryside but not be too far from the amenities of town.
