* Be aware* : I am sorry for not being able to welcome you all to my house. I am leaving to another country. I hope you enjoy your time in my country. Best wishes!

- I am an introvert. So, I am naturally reticent, but if I feel comfortable when chatting with a friend, I can be a talkative one.

- I am an autodidact. I have been keeping learning new things such as making crafts (stuffed toys, kirigami pop-up cards), drawing with pencils or acrylics, cooking and baking...

- I am a bibliophilia. I love reading and buying books. One of my favorite things to do when traveling to new places is visiting book stores. I can spend the whole day off reading books.

- I am an animal lover, an ailurophile and a canophilist in particular. There is always at least a dog in my house and I love to play with her/him in my free time, take her/him for a walk or a bath. I love to take photos of dogs and cats, too. I have a huge album of dogs and cats in places where I have traveled.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new friends. I hope I can have more friends and help and be helped (by) people who are on Couchsurfing with the same purpose like me.

Interests

- Reading. I always spend time reading no matter how busy I am with working and daily life activities. It makes me feel more relieved and actually, it has changed the way I see everything.
This is my page on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/33213330-huong-pham

- Traveling. I don't see travel as the purpose of life, I see it as a way I can grow more on the school of life.

- Learning languages. Every country has their own language, it's an amazing thing to be able to communicate with everyone wherever I go, especially in their own language. One of the reasons I love to learn languages is my reading interest. It is possible, I love to read a book in its original language, I feel like being closer to authors and understand his/her work better.

- Art. I am an art lover in general, drawing and painting in particular.

- Animals. They are just so lovely and I fall in love with them whenever I see them.

- Great curiosity about everything :)

Music, Movies, and Books

* Music: Instrumental, Classics 50s - 80s : Countryside, Pop, Rock, Ballad, Jazz, all genres I guess depending on when I listen to, where I stay, what mood I am in.

Some artists like Andy Williams (Moon River - also love the version of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast in Tiffany's, of course his other songs), The Beatles, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Bee Gee, Queen, Engelbert Humperdinck - The Last Waltzz, Billy Joel, Paul Anka, etc. Instrumental music: Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1812 Overtune!), Kenny G, Andre Rieu, Secret Garden, Richard Clayderman, etc. Maybe an endless lists :)

- Movies: : Life is beautiful, It's a wonderful life, V for Vendetta, I am Sam, 3 Idiots (Indian movie), 1 Litre of Tears, The Help, short meaningful films, etc.

- Books: Uncountable! Books is my forever love!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

(Things)
- Ted Translator. I love volunteering activities. At least, I feel more helpful and useful when doing these jobs.
You can find my page on Ted here: https://www.ted.com/profiles/2485615/translator

- Travelling alone. I have traveled alone locally and aboard. Not too much but at least it's memorable experiences for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

- Learn everything to open my mind. Of course, not something like committing a crime lol.

- I believe that sharing is a best way to teach and learn. You may know better what you have learned when you share it with someone else and you. If it is a good thing, don't hesitate, just pass it on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Share my stories!

- If you have scissors, cotton, a pair of socks, needle and thread. Let me share with you how to make a stuffed toy and give you as a gift for hosting me.

- If you don't mind tasting new dishes no matter how good or terrible they are. Let me share with you my cooking skills.
