Hi, my name is Phuong. I'm here trying to make my travel more interesting and useful by exploring new places, trying new ways, and passing on my experience to those who need it.

I can't host guests due to my house condition, but if you want a fun-loving local to show you around Ho Chi Minh City, feel free to send me a message.

My Couchsurfing experience is mosly just meeting people, rather than hosting or staying as a guest. But it's been excellent for me.

*Weird request time* (I have to try my luck):
If you're coming from Japan / Cambodia / Myanmar / Romania, I'll be forever grateful if you bring me:
A fridge magnet from Angkor Wat
or A fridge magnet from Kyoto
or A bottle cap of Myanmar beer or Angkor beer or Sapporo beer or Silva beer
I need them for my collection 😅😅

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet awesome people around the world. To see the many sides of life through their eyes. To travel and explore a place in the most genuine way. To experience human's kindness and generousity and give the same in return.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wild taste of music, stuff that don't go well together when put in the same playlist. But I listen to a specific genre if it matches my mood :D. Rock and metal make me feel like myself the most. I also like indie music, operatic pop and musical theater.

In Flames and Savatage are my all-time favorite bands.

I don't have any top favorite movies, but I tend to get unnecessarily mad with bad and overhyped movies that waste my time watching.

TV shows: Supernatural, How I met your mother, The Big bang theory, Lost, Prison break, Breaking bad, The walking dead, New girl, The good place...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survive the traffic of Saigon for over 30 years (but let's not jinx it).

Travel thousands of kilometers and meet my online friends in real life.

Went solo backpacking in Europe for a month. Nothing big but the experience itself is amazing for me.

Also, I've had my name on 2 books as the translator, I guess it's something.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Vietnamese is a colorful language, in case you're interested. I can also talk about vocal techniques.

Learn: Anything and everything, from how to play an instrument, cosmic science, to how your urine smells if you eat a certain thing.

Share: Anything within my knowledge and interests.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything you want to know about my homecountry or the culture-rich Southeast Asia.

Travel tips of places I've been to.

A fun music night. I love singing and will enjoy an evening just playing music and singing.

A reading of your destiny chart based on a Chinese Astrology technique (Bazi), just for fun XD.
