Hi, I'm Rachael, a Vietnamese longing to become the world's citizen. I love to explore the new culture and new horizons. For me, travel is a life lesson that teaches me to treasure what I am grateful to have, and nurture the love for other people and mother nature. Currently I am working as a freelance English tutor. I am very excited to get a chance to connect to you somewhere on the road!
Interested in Crafts
Interested in Education
Fluent in English
Learning Chinese (Simplified)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Traveling can't be fullfilled if there're no mutual exchange in terms of culture and friendship. So I always try to connect to locals wherever I go. That's how I learn the interesting sides of authentic lifestyle, as well as meet awesome people who are like-minded and exchange lots of great stories.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading novels. I have read some novels originated from Vietnam, England, America, Japan and so on. My favorite singers are (absolutely): My Tam and Lady Gaga
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Live fully who I am every day! Accomplished Phanxipăng - the highest mountain of Vientnam within a day under the heavy rain (I am afraid of height, snakes and cannot stand cold weather, but I did it yay!). Travel solo with very little budget to Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia since the age of 19 (there was a time I was starving because I didn't have much cash with me as traveling in Malaysia, I ended up going to the Sikh temple for free food haha).
Teach, Learn, Share
Honestly, I rarely cook, but I know some Vietnamese food recipe, I can show you ;). Giving sweets to children does bring me happiness. If you want some, I can give you, too! I can sing if the lyrics are available. Last but not least, if you need someone to listen to your sharing, I'm all ears :).
What I Can Share With Hosts
I do love to share about Vietnamese culture in general from my perspective. I am sure that there are many features of the country that I have no idea of, but I will try my best to describe our beautiful country to you. If my smile, energy, and craziness are something to offer, I will not hesitate to share them with you.
