I'm Nhi Tran. I am from Da Nang, a peaceful city in Central Vietnam. After finishing high school, I came to Australia to study Finance and Accounting at the University of Sydney. To me Da Nang is home, and Sydney is where the adventures began!

I consider myself a learner because I always want to learn new things, either it's a new language, new skill, new culture, or a course on Coursera ;) I think life must be so boring if one day we stop learning. I keep my eyes opened for new things and my mind opened for new ideas. I like listening to people's stories because I believe each person is a unique living book where so much can be learnt from. Traveling is how I learn more about the world and about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from different cultures and backgrounds. I think talking to a local is as fun and mind-opening as seeing a tourist attraction.
