Hello, My name is Rupert (Rupe for short). I love keeping an open mind and experiencing new things in life.

I am really really keen to explore and see the world, see culture and meet new exciting people. I would love for anyone to show me the local area for where you may be hosting me and give me tips on what to see (and what not to see:tourist traps).
------------------------------------

Im happy to guide you for a few days :)

Me and the girlfriend can pick you up if you aren't far. or order you a cheap taxi so you arent scammed at the airport or from hoan kiem.

I live in Cau Giay, this is a very Local area of Ha Noi, very little people speak English so you will experience the non tourist side of Ha Noi :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on coach surfing to look to find hosts to make friends with and to really experience places that are hidden gems.

I do not see hosts houses as a free hostel/hotel, i see each individual host's place as an opportunity to make friends and to treat their place with respect and care.

Music, Movies, and Books

oh blimey, that's a hard question..... music revolves around electronic genre to rock to jazz and blues, whereas my movies cannot stray far from sci-fi such as the lord of the rings trilogy or the star wars series. I have a keen interest in psychology books and publications of interesting groundbreaking research.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

taught a struggling child at school how to cope with bullying and difficult class-work.

Teach, Learn, Share

can teach you some great (not so great) jokes and i can share experiences ive had that we can laugh about.

I also can teach english, snowboarding and how to make a kickass eggfried rice with sweet and sour sauce and chicken.

What I Can Share with Hosts

an interesting conversation, my not so popular cooking skills, respect and care, helping around the house, anything i can do to return the favor of letting a host have me in for a night.
