About Me

Me? Well, I am studying to hope for one day become an HR Professional. Though, that's the capitalist of me speaking.

The narcissist soul of me would say I was born a traveler. Indeed, I've been to 18 countries before I age 18, mostly on my own.

Enough bragging :) Frankly, I am just into exploring new things around me, I can't stand staying in a city for longer than 3 months, the world is too beautiful to miss out, I've to get myself on the road. Even though I guess I've reached a stage that I'd like to settle, my heart is still out there in places I've never been to.

I hope to see YOU real soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Oh, that'd be a big loss for me if I weren't here! I read about this site the first time from a traveling book, again written by a Vietnamese female professor who abandoned her so-called 'stable' job at a big institution in Amsterdam to go wild with her passion for traveling. She's a full package, she's my inspiration - Nguyen Phuong Mai.

Also, I'm kind of broke at the time being but the richness of my passion for traveling remains. Therefore, I figure 'Couchsurfing' is the perfect solution.

Not to mention, you locals are AMAZING, and I so love that, so why would I bear myself in those hotels with boredom and tourist maps?

Interests

Writing, mostly trashy romantic novels. I like to play with imagination, especially when I happen to jog around somewhere like Venice or Paris (I know, can I be any less cliché? but god knows my heart's gone wild for Paris <3), you can turn everything into romance and everyone into beauty.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am pretty much a musical freak, though don't ask me to sing a Disney song, you'll probably regret it BIGLY!

Under the Tuscan Sun is the movie that inspires me to conquer this world. She, the main character, a middle-aged newly divorced American, broke, trash (as she refers herself) is brave enough to conquer her world, so Why the f*ck can't I? Sorry for my French... :))

Books, nahhhh! I'm only into geeky books (personal bios, literature, etc. ), it's not worth mentioning here, though I would love to spend a day sitting next to you, we can open a small book club if we find a real good book locally.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have you ever ice-swum right after taking a sauna? I once did and I once loved. It's always good to know where your limit is.

Have you ever seen Northern lights (Aurora) in shorts and t-shirts? Well, I regretted making that decision, but tbh it was so worth it. If you happen to be near the Artic Circle in winter, don't miss it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Which one? ;)

I can talk all day long about how wonderful my homeland is if you're interested in Vietnam and its exotic beauty. Also, I've been living in Finland long enough to pick up things here and there, this Nordic country is like a sleeping beauty waiting for its tourist prince charming to wake her up.

I haven't traveled as much as I expected me to, but I have quite a few stories on the road which you might find interesting to listen to...
