Hello! :)

I'm an Australian who is on a GAP year. I'm currently travelling and volunteering in Europe.
My ethnicity is Vietnamese and I grew up in Melbourne so my native language is English. I love making conversations about culture and I am also interested in kinds of music people like to listen to. Music is a big part of my life.
I like to journal about my experiences everyday, and I try to practice gratitude whenever I can.
My philosophy is that you can never fully understand the extent to which somebody next to you is suffering. We have all been hurt in our lives and we cannot assume that one is free from internal struggles.
I'd love to hear about your philosophy or whatever you have learned so far in life. Aren't the most memorable things learned through conversation rather than from a blackboard?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the world and be pushed outside of my comfort zone. To struggle and come out stronger.
