I’m Mai. I’ve been living in Hanoi for 9 years, and I absolutely love sharing its unique charm with anyone curious enough to explore. To me, Hanoi has a cool culture, amazing food, and plenty of hidden gems that even some locals don’t know about.

So if you’re in Hanoi and GENUINELY INTERESTED in the city or Vietnamese culture, hit me up 🫶

I’m passionate about cultural diversity, language exchange, and connecting with people from all walks of life.

I’ve met many amazing CSers over the years and made some great friends along the way. Now I have a fun little goal: meeting each of them a second time, hopefully somewhere new. Let’s see where the map takes us :>

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in fate and destiny, and that the people we meet are the ones we’re meant to meet, and the places we see are the ones we’re meant to see.

So If we actually meet in real life and have a good conversation, I’ll consider it “duyên”, not just a one-time stranger crossing 😊
