My name is Toan. My major is computer science, so I am keen on programming and research.

I cannot accept guests since I am hiring a apartment for my living. However, I am free to guide you around Hanoi. I have done this once with a Danish friend named Frederik. We met at Sword Lake and then travelled to Duong Lam Village in a rainy day :) I also get good English speaking test result by talking with him alot.

I want to travel to expand my knowledge and have more friends. So I hope to meet you and travel with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, I am a bookworm. One day, I had read a story about a Vietnamese travelling around the world with low budget and she started her story by recommending couchsurfing. After that, I found out couchsurfing was great for students with litle money
