ABOUT ME
My name is Thang, or Dickson. I am originally from Saigon, Vietnam. I love to listen strange and fun stories and also love learning new different things, especially those are unfamiliar from my area. I believe we can always do so when meeting CSer!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I wanted to make my first road trip to Thailand with a minimum budget, thanks to Google and its super efficient search engine, then I became a CSer.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
"Pilot": First surfing experience ended up watching a horror movie about the train with my host. On the following day, I conquered the fear by taking a 8-hr train.
"Coincidence": On the way traveling to an unpopular site in Taiwan, I got off at a wrong bus stop, and met a CSer who were also in the same situation.

Teach, Learn, Share
If you are interested in learning some Asian languages (Viet, Chinese, Cantonese, and Tagalog), you can find me as a free tutor. In exchange, I'd expect to pick up a little of your mother tongue (English and Tagalog included). Otherwise, sharing any kind of "crazy" stories of yours will just be great!
Aside from that, I can make Ca phe sua da (Viet coffee) as a welcome drink :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I would love to show you around the city of Saigon such as some very local hang-out places.
