About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become camping master. Also finally visiting my relatives in California :)

ABOUT ME

My parents come from Vietnam and emigrated to Germany and then they got me and my little brother Daniel. My childhood consisted of playing with the neighbours in a little forest nearby where we built a hut, endless summers in Vietnam and in my memory building igloos when we still had real winter *cough*

I'm open minded, a lil shy and fun to hang out with, a friend said (Thx Krista) Imagine that always smiling small asian girl, thats me. I love jokes and am a child at heart. Life is too short to be serious ^^
However, I always have a serious side. I take things too seriously. I think a lot, I question wether it's right or wrong.

I love to travel. When I travel, I feel free like a bird. My vietnamese name resembles a bird.

PHILOSOPHY

Be what you are.
Because you can't let others pull you down and lie to yourself. Try new things, find out what you like and never stop learning.
Let others live their life however they want. It works for them. Just because it'd never work for you, doesn't mean it's wrong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's actually a great idea. Just the simple concept of having the world to visit you or getting in contact with the locals and is a chance one might not want to miss.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sadly I haven't had the chance to host because of my living situation, but in future I will sure invite the world on my couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was with hospitalityclub. I was going to the festival Rock im Park and needed a place to stay and luckily found one at the last minute. Actually Agi wanted to camp with her friends, but they all sold their tickets because of the world cup Germany against Poland and so I went with her to the festival.
