CURRENT MISSION

To see the World through my own eyes

ABOUT ME

Swiss American Vietnamese working the UK at the moment... As a couch surfer, I love to travel. As a recent ex-student, with a good size student loan, I don't have a lot of money to do so, yet have manage to some how. My goal when traveling is to experience all that I've heard and read about, for myself with my own eyes. Since the invention of cameras, mass reproduction of ancient art reduce its value and takes away the aura of the original piece in its physical presence. Art major here! so I'm big on museums and architecture. Big on photography too, so if we get a chance we can do a photo shot or something. Also love to walk/get lost in small and old cities. The smaller and older the city, the more I am in love.

PHILOSOPHY

Not perfect, but i try to live by this:

"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourself. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." -Phil 2:4

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Someone has been hospitable to me, and I want to return the favor to others to hopefully influence that person to have an awesome experience as well. That's how the world goes round right?!It just comes down to doing what you would want people to do to you. The Golden Rule, when couch surfing!

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. -Hew 13:2

I think i've meet quite a few angels!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When someone first hear about couchsurfing, the most common reaction I get is, "Is it safe?" Well, in anything. the bigger the risk, the greater the rewards, and with CS, I have NEVER been let down! In fact, I am constantly amazed at the genuine kindness from the most random people and connections.

"Even if I get screwed over one day by one stupid person, ALL the other times have been SOOOOO worth it!" - a CSer friend
