My name is Thành in Vietnamese, but you can call me Andy! I’m part of a playful "Toy Story family" with my two Labrador puppies, Woody and Jessie, who bring endless joy and energy into my life.

As a dedicated professional in the hospitality industry, I’m naturally optimistic and dynamic. I find immense satisfaction in meeting people from all walks of life, and embracing the vibrant mix of cultures, traditions, and languages that each person brings. I have a passion for tasting local cuisines and immersing myself in the authentic flavors and stories behind each dish.

For me, life is a rich journey to be savored, and I believe in embracing every moment, every experience, and every connection. I live for the thrill of new discoveries, and I’m always eager to explore, learn, and celebrate the beauty in diversity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend recommended this website to me, and I’m absolutely loving it! I’m passionate about meeting people from all around the world, sharing insights about Vietnam, and learning from everyone I connect with. Couchsurfing has been an incredible way to forge connections, exchange cultures, and build friendships across borders. It truly brings people together in a unique and meaningful way.

Interests

I’m deeply interested in exploring the world through its people, cultures, and experiences. I have a genuine love for meeting new people, exchanging stories, and learning about their unique traditions and ways of life.

As someone who’s passionate about food, I enjoy discovering local dishes and savoring the authentic flavors of each place I visit. There’s something special about the stories behind every meal, and I always make it a point to try new foods whenever I can.

In addition to that, I’m always eager to connect with others through shared experiences—whether it’s through travel, music, or simply enjoying life’s everyday moments.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a fan of films that tell deep, thought-provoking stories, as well as those with a sense of adventure and humor. Movies like Forrest Gump always inspire me, showing how perseverance and optimism can lead to success. I also enjoy animated films, especially the Toy Story series (of course, with Woody and Jessie as part of my family!), as they remind me of the importance of friendship and loyalty.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve had was trekking for five days through one of the biggest caves in Vietnam, located in Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park. It’s the largest cave in the world, and the journey was nothing short of extraordinary.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Exploring the city at night and discovering some cheap, delicious, and amazing food is one of my favorite things to do! Since I’m usually tied up with work during the day, my evenings are reserved for diving into Hoi An’s vibrant food scene.

So, if you ever find yourself in Hoi AN, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d be more than happy to show you the best spots to eat, drink, and enjoy the city after dark.
