About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being mindful when traveling!

ABOUT ME

I would describes myself as “somebody who is always a foreigner, always at home”. I was born in a tiny village in the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam about 20+ years ago.

My first trip abroad on my own was to Kenya few years ago and since then I have developed a true passion for traveling and exploring different cultures of the world.

Then I moved to London to study, then to work and also to enjoy living in a cosmopolitan city.

I have moved back to Vietnam 2 years ago and I am enjoying working as a freelance journalist.

After a few years focusing on working hard, now it is time for me to get back to the road again. I have luckily had amazing experience with Couch Surfing and I hope soon I will be able to host and surf again

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be humble

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend recommended CS when I was doing my exchange programme in Denmark.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is something really new to me and I hope to meet lots of new people from here.

I also believe that when you meet a local person, you get the chance to know the place much better than just a tourist.

Travelling is not only about what you see, it is also about whom do u talk to, about meeting and sharing
