That name make easy for you to remember me. The fourth child of four siblings. I was born on April, 1989 in a small village called Kamasan, Klungkung District.
While still in elementary school, my days just passed by in a small village called Kamasan. Fill my childhood with a famous painting in Bali named Kamasan Wayang Painting. At that time I saw some tourists passing through my village to just look at his paintings. In fact I never dreamed of being a tour guide. When I was in high school, I learned about accounting and business management. But because Bali has many tourist destination and I am proud to be part of the culture, I finally learned to be a tour guide, starting from 2007 until now. This time I also capable to be good driver for my own tour. I am very happy to have a profession in charge of dividing the beauty of Balinese culture in this world. It’s all about me at least.
My Experiences
My first experience in the travel industry was in Bali Eco and Educational cycling tour, where I learned a lot of thing to become a tour guide for over 4 years. Many tours and activities I have done it already with Bali Eco. My journey continued to The Royal Purnama art & suites as Guest Relation Officer where I have seen tourism in Bali for the first time from Hotelier side, a freelance guide, and become a concierge activity in The Purist villa & spa.
