Hello! I'm Kim, nice to meet you. I'm English, French and Vietnamese.

My goal in life is to master as many languages as possible, eat great food, and contribute where I can (save the whales)!

I've lived in different countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. I'm hoping to discover more of the world when I get some free time....

I live in Bristol with my boyfriend, Célestin. When I'm not working, I'm reading a book, having Chinese takeaway, climbing a boulder or planning my next trip!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover the local culture mostly! I enjoy sharing out-door activities with new people like a hike,a climb, or a city walk.

I have amazing memories from using couchsurfing during my travels, so I try and find the opportunity to interact with residents wherever I go now.

Interests

I dabble in a few things but in Bristol, mostly bouldering (which I discovered through couchsurfing!) and KTX kickboxing. Swimming is my favourite. And I'd be up for a game of badminton or basketball anytime!

I'm also a huge foodie and lover of aesthetic coffeeshops and bubble-tea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a solo trip to Uganda,I stayed overnight in Lake Mburo to see giraffes, zebras, etc. in their natural habitat (although I got a bit too close to a hippo)

Moved to China on a whim and learnt Chinese from scratch (best time of my life)
