ABOUT ME

I am from Vietnam. I went to America for my study in 2007. I am currently getting involved in the doctoral program in Public Health in Houston, Texas. I love traveling since I was in college. However, I did not have a lot of chances to travel a lot when i was in Vietnam. I have traveled more since I went to the states. The more I travel, the more I love it, the more I feel excited to see the world by my own eyes. I am very interested in getting to know new culture, new food, and new people. also, because my field is Public Health and I am, in particular, interested in Global Health, Traveling brings me valuable knowledge that I can not gain from the books. When i travel, i really like to talk to local people because I think its the best way to learn local culture. Thus, its one of main reasons why i joined couch surfing.

PHILOSOPHY

"We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experience in couchsurfing so that all advice is welcome:)

Interests

as mentioned above, I love traveling, getting to know new culture and new people. I always think having one more wonderful friend makes my world more colorful. I love reading, wine/beer tasting, coffee, nature, movies, volleyball, swimming, running, and festivals. I enjoy getting involved voluntary activities. I am thinking of volunteering one program for homeless people in Houston. I love to make people laugh because I think when laugh makes us stay younger.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to backpack to Laos and Thailand only one day before my trip. It is the most unplanned but amazing trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am from Vietnam so that feel free to talk to me if you are thinking of learning Vietnamese or traveling Vietnam. I enjoy introducing people about my country and give them all advise that help them to have a good experience in my country. I used to backpack Thailand and Laos so that I can give you all my advise in these countries. I am living in the states. I cannot say I know a lot of US after three years. However I've traveled California,Nevada, Arizona, New York, Boston, DC, New Mexico. also I was in atlanta for two years and I just moved to Houston 9 months ago. if you think I can be any help for your trip to the states, let me know.
