I am a twenty something girl born in Vietnam, grew up mid way here then was sent to the UK for education. My teenage and early twenty years were mostly here where I met people from many different countries. It was really cool. Then, after graduation, I started working straight away, in Vietnam for a year. But when I was back home, I wanted to live and work in a completely different country again, so I got a job in Malaysia and flew away. After some years of office life, my curiosity strikes, so I handed in the letter and fly away to see what else is out there.

I love trying and exploring new places, cuisine, cultures. My favourite places to be is the zoo and the sea where there are all the lovely animals. I especially love dogs; rescued twice during my time in Malaysia but could not keep them. So, definitely, the best gift someone could give me is a puppy. I really hope that, one day, I would settle in a permanent place, so I can have two dogs.

The third language I would learn is French. The pronunciation is really challenging for me, but I like the way it sounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from places and cultures all over the world. I am always excited to know and make friends with people from other countries, to know their customs, and cultures. It is very interesting, because there are things, that I would not know by reading, but only understand when meeting someone in person and talk. The more people I meet, the more I know. It is really a way of learning, to enrich my knowledge about the world. It opens my mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many types of music. In the morning, I like to listen to positive vibe kind to start the day like pop, Indie rock. Towards the evening, I listen to something calmer, like acoustic and jazz. I don't have a favourite kind of music, because I pretty much listen to everything. Artists and bands I like include: The Kooks, Lady Gaga, Shawn Mendes, Mindy Gledhill, Kodaline, Kygo, Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5

I love thriller psychological movies, like Black Swan. I absolutely love all movies of Leonardo Dicaprio. Other favourite movies are: Lala Land (I cried at the end), Schindler's List, 500 days of Summer, Bridget Jones's Diary (all 3 movies), He's just not that into you, Seven years in Tibet, Forrest Gump, Star Wars, A beautiful mind, Marley and me.

I read all fiction books by Sydney Sheldon. I don't know why I just like his stories. Once I pick a book up, I can lose myself in it till I finish the story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently is to try white water rafting, when I fell out of the raft twice and was crushed between the rocks and the raft under the water. I thought .....I was going to die
