Hello there, I am Hugh from the largest city of Vietnam. 哈咯，我叫忠忠，越南西贡本地人

I am easygoing, open-minded, and friendly with a great passion for travelling. Normally when being to new countries, I prefer meeting local people, trying local food, learning some local history milestones and basic communication phrases.

To me, being to new cities and destinations always make me feel energetic and delightful, regardless of the type of travel.

I would love to share with you my stories and also my knowledge about Vietnamese food, culture, tradition, and also travelling tips for the places I have visited.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to look for new friends from different culture. My reason for joining on Couchsurfing is that I believe it can offer to us valuable experiences and connections. Just one year ago, I used to think that I could seek information about the country Im travelling to by reading local past travellers' experience. But after I stayed with 2 hosts in Taiwan, I know that it is also about observing various perspective from people who actually live in those cities to learn more about their culture, etiquettes, ways of living, and local things.

Interests

My hobbies are wandering, going to the gym, hiking and running. Also, I have a great interest in other countries cuisine and language and always happy to talk about it.
