CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Hhmmm, it is always hard for me to talk about myself. I'll just say the essential in the best way I can. :P
I was a born in Vietnam but left to Canada as a boy and grew up in Montreal, Quebec.
This makes me perfectly trilingual, being fluent in French, Vietnamese and English (I put them in decreasing order of fluency, French being the best).
I took an educational break after high school to join the Canadian Army and I was trained as an infantryman, this is something I admit I am very proud of. I am now back to college on an Army scholarship.
I am pretty young so my traveling "record" is looking to get filled up! I've backpacked in Vietnam with a group in the Summer of 2011 and also went to Poland for Euro 2012 (the football tournament).
I'll be traveling through 4 European countries in my upcoming Winter break, and this is why I joined Couchsurfing.
PHILOSOPHY
The world is a book and those who don't travel only read a page :)
Give as you would like to receive.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I currently live with my parents and being in a family of five children, hosting is very difficult! Especially with my young siblings.
But I know the city of Montreal very well and if you need a bilingual guide (English + French), I can sure show you around or meet for a cup of tea.

I never had a Couchsurfing experience before. This Eurotrip will be my very first experience with Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I saw Cristiano Ronaldo score a goal live, against Czech Republic at the Euro 2012. Being a fan of him (but not of his team!) this is my craziest experience so far.
I also joined the Canadian Army after high school and trained as an infantryman, this is something I admit to be very proud of.
