I am a master student in Helsinki, Finland. Both of my parents are from Vietnam and I have lived in Finland since I was 2 years old. My travel plan for this July and August is to go through some places in Spain and Portugal and find friends from there.

My latest trip after Singapore exchange: South-east Asia Nov-Dec 2017. I will be traveling alone through Malaysia and Thailand. Then I flew to Vietnam, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Singapore and back to Finland. I was hosted in Phuket and Chiang Mai in Thailand and really enjoyed it!

I study computer science and am doing my masters. My hobbies are Breakdance, basketball, beachvolley and Poledance and I have done Breakdance on and off for 8 years. You can check my ig profile: hait3ch and about my travels during exchange: haivsworld

After this long trip, I will go back to Finland and finish my Master studies in Aalto University.

What do I live for?
Experience, exploring, and skills. So the typical this for me is to say yes. Do crazy stuff like hike Mt. Rinjani? Yes! Go down the rope from 60 meters? Yes!

Many people in my uni do gym stuff but how about me? I do sports and many kinds of sports. I want to evolve my skills and then later I can show off, not really :p

My personality is easy going, maybe little enthusiast for new things, like technology. Open-minded and like adventures :D
