CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking across Japan

ABOUT ME

I'm the type who likes to try e.ve.ry.thing. From volleyball to film, music, Japanese, blogs, cooking, backpacking, social sciences, bungee jumping, and make-up, etc., I'm almost always occupied. See, there's a reason I need take a year out!

I'm in my Gap year before heading to college in the USA and I plan to see lots of different places. I LOVE to observe the culture and the people in the places I visit and, because I'm a social science freak, I'd relate the patterns to their socioeconomic backgrounds. (Rest assured, I won't bore you with this. I keep it to myself.)

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I knew about CS via local social network sites, and I was interested in joining right away.

I love meeting new people who share the same interest for traveling.

I also want to explore a different way of travel that is beyond staying in homogeneous hotels wherever you go and eating the same things wherever you are.

I want to meet real people of the places, really get to know who they are, what they do, and how their lifestyles might differ from mine.

I also would love to introduce Vietnam to my foreign friends.

I was blessed to stay with an amazing host family when I studied abroad in the US a couple years ago, I am very grateful for their kindness and I hope to pass the spirit on more and more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't surfed much but I hope to change that soon.

Intereses

Languages, music, make-up, economics, finance, volleyball, filming, movies, trying out new cuisines, painting, blogging, and life philosophy, etc.

And if you love Japanese Johnny's Entertainment's boys (NEWS, Arashi...), or just simply have a bug for Japan, we'd get along very well.
