About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in Saigon, I want to show off what this city truly has to offer. It's much more than the 40 cent beer! Although that does help...

ABOUT ME

Hey, so i'm a very relaxed guy who rarely stresses about anything. In my opinion everything will turn out alright and so far it pretty much has. Always been ups and downs, but you learn to deal with it.

Ever since travelling USA in 2011 I have got the bug. And I got well and truly bitten. I've since been literally around the world twice visiting over 40 countries in the process. Travelling has gone beyond a hobby, it's an obsession. I love to go out and socialise. If I'm ever alone, I'm just planning ways to not be alone anymore.

I am settled in Saigon and love to show people around. I speak enough of the language and certainly know great places for proper Vietnamese food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people so I figure this is a great way to do it. I really want to tour people around the city, giving them a different perspective as opposed to just hiring a tour guide or doing it yourself. I know how not to get ripped off and I know more quality places to go to than a bunch of my Vietnamese friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Brazil I couchsurfed a few times and it was just brilliant. We found some amazing hosts during the World Cup who helped my friend and I out no end. I've also used it in Taiwan and Argentina with great experiences too. Additionally it's a cool way to meet people even if you can't stay at their place.

Interests

I'm very open minded, love to travel and experience new things. Every new adventure to me is exciting so i try to have as many as possible.

Food is an essential part to my life, as it is everyone's, so why waste time on bad food? I love to sample new foods and the most delicious foods from all around the world.

Oh, and I've been known to have a drink or two...
