CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a little better every day.

ABOUT ME
*Update in 2017: I've realized the dream I had when I was a kid. Now I'm going on to seek new goals. I'm still basically the same person: positive, hopeful and curious.

*Update in 2015: I've grown up from travelling and living 2 years in a different city far away from home. Along the way, I've met a lot of nice people who changed my perspectives of life. I'm thankful for you, friends.

First version: Err, people have ups and downs. I'm not always in a good mood but overall, normal friends think I'm a cheerful, energetic, friendly and active girl. Close friends know I'm adventurous, crazy, at the same time, thoughtful and ... I just can't wait to see the world out there!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain.
Doing the best in this moment puts you in the best place for the next.
You are young only once.
Every damn day, JUST DO IT.
*Update in 2015: Be the best. Live the best. And believe in the best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT COUCHSURFING

A Singaporean guy, named Edric, recommended me the site when I mentioned how hard it is to travel in Singapore with expensive hotels. Thank you, Edric :) You might have put me to a new fun world.
*Update in 2015: I met Edric again in 2015 in Singapore. He showed me around. We watched the rehearsal for Singapore's Independence day ceremony. He treated me to a wonderful dinner with Hainan chicken. All the best.

Interests

*Update in 2017: I enjoy reading about technology, marketing, strategy. I work hard to bring out the best in people.
*Update in 2015: I care about bringing out the best in people. To me it's a pleasure to see my efforts can help someone reach their full potentials.
Original version:
Language capability enhancement. I run an English club in Hanoi on Sundays.
The world out there. I work (for $) and plan for the next trip.
Business stuff. I educate myself by reading business books and hanging out with business-serious, oriented people.
Friends. Ice tea with them in summer is a lot of fun.

• meeting people and have interesting talks

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies are The dark knight, Forrest Gump, Catch me if you can, X-men (Im a fan of Wolverine) and Inception.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Update in 2017: Sleeping on the beach of Hai Van pass under a starry sky. It was very cold and when I got up in the morning, water came up to my back.

Original version:
First moments when I set my foot over to Nanning, a small city on the border. Things were so different, so much more organized!
Sleeping under a sky of stars on the lighthouse at Nhatrang. Enjoyed a spectacular view next dawn; I was the center of the world surrounded by mountain and sea.
