Hi. I'm Thảo (You can call me Tina or my nickname "Gấu" like "bear" 😅). I'm living in Can Tho city with my Mom. I can't say myself that I'm a nice or kind or friendly.. person. For me that is your remark.

Preparing to travel India, Nepal in this summer. Solo backpacking 👣

"What will be, will be. If we were destined to meet, we would meet". I believe that every person who I've met and will meet in my life always gives me something. If lucky I have a friend or not I have a lesson. It's ok! I just want to be myself when I meet someone and I hope you to be like that too.

The world is huge, there is so much thing to see, to learn, to explore and to experiences. I think that travel is to experiences, not to complete something. So I'll enjoy and accept everything which happens to me.

I really hope that we can be friends and help each other, has the most beautiful experiences when we travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a perfect website to connect travelers together. I'm very happy because through website I can meet new friends come from different countries, know more their cultures. That's so interesting.

Interests

I really like taking photos, listen to music and reading books about traveling. Sports as hiking, swimming, riding bicycle along the coast (I have more than 18 years riding bicycle experience) and I want to learn diving and parasailing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Have done a bicycle journey around South East Asia for 5 months (5 countries)

- Have done a bicycle journey around Vietnam for 3.5 months (35 cities) and raised funds for a project "Plant a millions trees", combined with do volunteering planting trees along the way.

- That is when I decided tattoo. One thing which I hatest before. And then I have received a lot of judgment from my mom, relatives, friends, neighbors and all the people who just met me. I wonder why I can't do that. Maybe in their eyes I'm a good daughter, living up to moral standards so I can't do the opposite. Finally, I chose to live up to what I wanted. I'll never, ever regret the things I have done because I only get one life. It's actually my duty to live it as fully as possible.
