Hello,

My name is Andrew Nguyen. I currently work as a newsroom developer at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in Missouri. I'm originally from the suburb of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto.

If you plan on visiting St. Louis, I’m more than willing to show people around, recommend a great place to eat or things to do in the city. I hope to play a more active role hosting people in the near future.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Travel has been such a rewarding experience, especially for someone like me who caught the travel bug much later in life. The people I’ve met during my trips to Winnipeg, Louisville, Baltimore and New York City have become great friends.

I have been amazed by the generosity of people who have helped and reached out to me when I’ve been looking for a place to stay. And for those who are on the fence, it really is a great community to be apart of.

My mantra while travelling has been to explore new things, step out of your comfort zone and see where the adventure takes you.

兴趣

I love hearing other people's stories, but what brings me joy is journalism, technology, design, pop culture.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Thanks to some of my hosts, I’ve been able to attend a circus show, participate in a hackathon at Conde Nast, attend two journalism conferences, kickstart my career, play trampoline dodgeball, salsa dancing and more.
