About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live happily ever after, just kidding, but I really do want to have a happy life and live it to the fullest. I value family, friends, honesty and kindness. My current career is in the health sector and I really want to help people with what I have learned. Also, I appreciate justice and usually be drawn to fight for what's right, that's why I am consider following a law degree.

ABOUT ME

I love life and want to feel the world in my own way. It's important to me that I'm happy no matter what I do and I also want to help people around me feeling the same. Whenever I face hardship and challenges, I remember all the good things that happened in my life and feel grateful for whatever I have at that moment. I'm sure that life has many more lessons which lie ahead to teach me and I don't know what they'll be about but I have learned to appreciate that everything happens in my life for a reason.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Helen Keller

Where there is a will, there is a way .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I was reading an online magazine, I found out about this amazing website. The idea of meeting new people and able to be exposed to new culture even in my own country is really excited.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right now I'm proud of my self for 3 things
1. Protect my 7-years-old brother when I was only 2 from a 12-years-old boy. (my parents told me 'cause I cant remember that - ofcourse )
2. The only class-leader help members get united in university
3. Travel to Hanoi alone in a special case.

What I Can Share with Hosts

1. Appreciation and gratefulness:
- It takes me a long time to master this character. One thing for sure that I do understand is no one owns you anything, even your parents. That means I feel gratefulness for any kind actions and help I received and I have learned that do not take anything for granted. Actually, I think because of this character, I have met many amazing people that I cannot believe why I have such privilege to be support by them. And so I feel more grateful and then I meet more nice persons.
- When I say thank you, I really do mean it and it's not just for politeness or a habit. I do appreciate host and take actions to show my appreciation. As a guest, I will try my best to bring comfortable to the host and be helpful as much as possible because I understand that how lucky I am to be hosted by them.

2. Honesty, initiative and independent:
- These are all characters that I value most from myself and others around me. For me, it's no point in waiting for help in others. Of course, I will ask for help because I know I deserve it. However, it's my life and I'll take full responsibility for it so host do not need to worry about me. Also, I really want that hosts tell me directly what do they want and need because I will be very happy to offer help.

3. Cultural exchange and gifts:
- As said above, because I appreciate hosts, so I really want to give them gifts that they want. If hosts do not have any preferences, I will give them some of the most useful things because I think gifts which are being used are real presents.
- I love culture, history and art not as much as a professional. However, I can give hosts some of the internal insights of Vietnamese culture that they might never ever heard about or they can ask me whatever they feel curious about.
