Curious, love learning about new cultures and absolutely love the outdoors! I am constantly humbled by the beauty that nature has gifted us, and am even more humbled to learn the heritage of different parts of the world :)

I was born and raised in Vietnam, currently living and studying in Toronto, have travelled to 20+ countries and hoping to explore many more!

Travelling has become an integral part of my life at an early age. My dad took me hiking the tallest mountain of Indochina - Mt Fansipan - at the age of 7. And I have been hiking to more mountains ever since!

To date, I've hiked the tallest mountain in Indochina trice- Fansipan, third tallest in Indonesia - Mt Rinjani, seen the smallest volcano in the word - Mt Taal, and I'm hoping to hike many more!

During the weekends you'd find me jogging, reading, grabbing wine and espressos with friends, seeing musicals or comedies or concerts, and trying out new restaurants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to explore places by learning from the locals, and vice versa, would love to help anyone out in Toronto!
