ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Nha Trang, Vietnam's most beautiful place. Just like the ocean that rolls along the side of my lovely city, my life is a constant drift. When I was 4, I climbed over my house's fence (3 times my height) and went to ask for rice at my neighbor's. When I was 13, I started riding a motorcycle on my own. I flew away from home to go to America 1 week before my 17th birthday and that is where my life adventure begins. I let my dear mother keep a piece of my heart in her cooking back home. I left a bit of myself in Singapore, where dwell my little sister. I buried a morsel of my soul in France where lived the first person I fell in love with. And I wish to travel more.
There are a few things that I believe in:

1. Happiness is only real when shared.
2. Success is 99% working and 1% talent.
3. Love is the absence of fear.
and finally 4. Everyone is born being good.
With these things in my mind, I want to explore the world and I want to share my culture with all of those who are interested.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the absence of fear.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply and speak kindly.
We should spend more time building bridges instead of walls.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Met and hung out with some CSers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Needless to say, the fellow CSers I have the chance to meet at home, whist studying abroad and during my travels have taught me a great deal about life. Most are positive and I really cherish these encounters.
