Im a guy borned and raised in Ho Chi Minh city.
Since i was i child, i guess i was lucky for having opportunity to travel a lot along Vietnam with my parents. we've almost been every places in Vietnam.
When i grow up and come to the early years of youth. As a lot of young people, i got stuck in struggling for finding what i really want to do in my life. I used to have a tough time for that. Fortunately, it led me to the passion for books. Because i've aspired to find out who i am and what i really want to do in my life, so i found out reading books is the best way for me to start to get understanding myself.
One day, i read a book of Giorgio Bettinelli, an Italian guy started his own adventure by the first trip with 24000km on his Vespa scooter from Italy to Saigon. I found myself caught up in the passion for the journeys. It reminded me to a lot of extraordinary feelings when i was a little child traveling across the country with my parents.
From that time, i discovered one of the goals i want to do in my life. That is travelling around the world to catch up in the extraodinary feelings of adventures, making friends all over the round the world, to exchange the culture, to see the beauty of mandkind and to see the the world more. As much as i can, i just do it.
That's the story of the part of my life which i really want to share with you through this shot description. I believe that making friends, becoming a part of couchsurfing community or having great couchsurfing-relationship, it must be based on TRUST. So the good way to let you trust me is the way let you know my story.
Nice to have you as a real friends!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
On my description above about me, i share with you about one of the big goals in my life is travelling around the world and making friends. But getting to know a couchsurfing community and taking serious way to become a true couchsufer is another little story.
Back in the early of summer 2016. I have an opportunity to host my my cousin and his friend from Germany, those guys together travel across a lot of Asian coutries, and Vietnam is one of their destination. And during the time my cousin and his friendly German friends staying in Saigon, we had a lot of amazing journeys and great time together. We hang out around and tried delicious local speicals, went on motos-scooter trips to Vungtau and Cuchi tunnel.
We had great time, had a lot of fun, But the most precious thing is having new good friends. By getting to understand each other more, we also got to learn more about the cultures of each others, we see different things and sharing it togerther, that's what make it special.
From that it helps me regconize the true meaning of travelling. That is getting to know the beauty of the different in cultures and experirene it, making friends, seeing the world more and the seeing the beauty of being a human.
Before my good German friend left Saigon, he asked me whether i have a couchsurfing account. At that time, i did not know anything about Couch surfing so he explained for me about this.
The more i know about couchsurfing the more i love to be a part of this community. I regconize couchsurfing is a perfect start for me on the way to make friends with people who travel from over around the world. That's amazing.
And that why im here now guys!
Nice to be having you as a real friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Because i love coffee and coffee shop. Once time i travel to Dalat. I spend all day to try a ton of coffee shops there. That was kind of non-stop coffee day.
It must be extraodinory to sometime roll into something you passionate and there is not "too much" when it happen.
