Hello everyone,

A little introduction about myself — my name is Lily, I’m 23 years old, and I’m currently living in Hung Yen, which is about 20 km from the center of Hanoi.

I used to work as a tour guide, leading tours around Hanoi. Recently, I chose to live in the Ocean Park area because of its fresh and peaceful environment. Near where I live, there is a very interesting tourist destination called BÁT TRÀNG CERAMIC VILLAGE. Many international visitors come here to experience pottery making and to visit the Bat Trang Ceramic Museum.

If you plan to visit this area, I would be happy to host you at my home (even overnight). I have one spare room available. It may not be modern or luxurious, but it is spacious and comfortable. If you would like to experience local life with us, you are more than welcome.

I can also take you to Bát Tràng Village and share everything about the history and culture of our traditional ceramic village.

In addition, if you need more recommendations for tourist attractions in Hanoi or a FREE 100% tour guide, we have volunteer tour guides who are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They are well-trained to provide you with the best possible experience.

This post is created to support international visitors traveling in Vietnam. It is not for profit or any fraudulent purpose. This help comes from genuine hospitality and our love for welcoming international friends to Vietnam.

Please feel free to contact me via WhatsApp at +84336051172 if you need any assistance or have any questions.

My address: Nhan Noi Hamlet, Tan Tien Commune, Van Giang District, Hung Yen Province.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

About Me

Hi, I’m Lily, 23 years old, a former tour guide who fell in love with cultural exchange and meaningful conversations with people from around the world.

I currently live near Ocean Park, about 20km from Hanoi city center, in a peaceful area close to Bat Trang Ceramic Village — one of the most famous traditional pottery villages in Vietnam. I chose to live here because I enjoy fresh air, slower living, and being close to local culture.

I’m an open-minded, friendly, and independent person. I value respect, honesty, and personal boundaries. I believe traveling is not just about visiting places, but about connecting with people and understanding different perspectives.

🏡 My Home

Im living with my husband with spacious home with one spare room available for travelers. It’s not luxurious, but it’s clean, comfortable, and safe.

If you’re visiting Bat Trang or exploring Hanoi and would like a local experience, I’d be happy to host you for a short stay. You’re welcome to join us in daily life, share meals, talk about culture, or simply relax.

This is about cultural exchange, not business.

🎨 What I Can Offer

Since I used to work as a tour guide, I can:

Show you around Bat Trang Ceramic Village

Share stories about its history and local traditions

Guide you around Hanoi if our schedules match

Recommend authentic local food spots

Help you understand Vietnamese culture from a local perspective

If you’re interested in pottery, you can try making ceramics there — it’s a very unique experience.

🤝 My Hosting Philosophy

For me, Couchsurfing is about trust, mutual respect, and genuine connection.

I welcome travelers who are open-minded, respectful, and kind. Personal boundaries are important to me, and I expect the same respect in return.

Let’s share stories, culture, and positive energy 🌿
