Hello Vietnam travelers!
We live in Tay Ho

Happy to host you if you are wanting to visit Hanoi or need a place to stop off before your Sapa, Ha Giang, Ha Long adventures.

2 nights is our ideal hosting timeline
We’re sometimes busy folks, but we’ll have cold beer and fruit in the fridge for you to enjoy if we can’t keep you company ourselves

GrabBike is the best way to book a motorbike taxi. Safe and easy! With fixed prices. (https://invite.grab.co/sydney97014)

Poland was my first adventure and I have been addicted ever since.
I adore beer, definitely a lush.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To pay it forward - provide a free place for people to stay while they are traveling and a bit of advice if they want it.

To make the most of my travels! I loathe the feeling of leaving a place and feeling that the best had yet to be discovered.

Anything physical - biking, hiking and water sports are at the top of my list, but I am willing and love to try new things.
