About Me

Hoping to tell you directly ! But here are a few things :
* Half French Half Vietnamese actually studying Medicine in Caen
* I've always loved travelling and had the chance to go to several places with my parents while I was a child
* During the year 2015-2016 I was a Rotary Exchange Student in Pennsylvania - US
* Other than travelling I love doing any sports and anything thrilling or exciting, also cooking and trying new food
* Dream Job : be paid to travel and eat
* Weird habit : I have a cushion I carry all around when I'm traveling to get pictures at famous spots with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Knew about CS but never dared to try by myself for the first time. Travelling last year (2018) with a German friend I made through high school exchanges, we both figured it would be nice for us to experience CS together !
Tried it and loved it, now CS is my first thought when I need to stay in some countries where I don't know people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Last book that really got me into it : WILD from Cheryl Strayed (just want to hike the PCT now).
Also like detective and any kind of books that makes me travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking part of the Grand Canyon.
I guess leaving family and friends for 11 months being less than 18.

Hoping that one day I'll write down saving lifes.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : making crepes, croque monsieur, spring rolls.... little songs on the piano, french language (of course), how to say " hugs make you becoming an idiot" in vietnamese and maybe other things if you ask !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know it can sounds cheesy or fake but I do it all the time anyways so smiles and laughs for sure haha !
Of course ready to have great conversations : getting to know you a bit if you feel like it, sharing my stories (also if you feel like it), learning about your place... actually about basically anything I guess.
Also most of the time I say rather yes than no so I'll probably be up for almost any plans we could do together !
