CURRENT MISSION

I want to be resourceful to the society I live in and I want to live with my passion.

ABOUT ME

occasional writer, amateur photographer & filmmaker, aspiring home cook. and just another traveler who is trying to meet and hear the stories of interesting like-minded travelers through couchsurfing.

meanwhile, I try to learn as many languages as possible, find an opportunity to travel as frequent as possible, and become as resourceful to others as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Every process is a learning experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can make foods together, especially Vietnamese foods. and please please tell me about your cuisine and culture. If you're into film, let's watch a movie together.

Lastly, we can share our thoughts of the world, of culture, of everything around us. Curiosity got the best out of me.
