About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build mobile buses for children in disadvantaged communities & orphanages around the world where they can jump in to read stories, listen to music, watch movies, play basketball and dream new hopes.

ABOUT ME

I am a wild introvert when I first meet strangers but a caring & friendly extrovert when I meet great friends with same passions, adventurous nature and free spirit. I love to discover hidden gems & places not for tourists, to rock as a backpacker to mountains & jungles, to read books & create creative works with graphics not text, to go climbing rocks & mounts, to work with children & disadvantaged communities in bringing more chances for them to access & be inspired by music & movies. Above all, basketball always takes my breath away by all meanings.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply so others can simply live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet interesting/creative folks visiting countries for a great purpose of life.
I dont like backpackers visiting foreign developing countries yet not respecting the people & the culture (there are many of such in Vietnam unfortunately!) and using CS just for free accommodation.

If you want me to host you, please mention 1 thing/interest/thought we share in common and one cool mission you travel to Vietnam for. I hope we then can be friends in Vietnam for the most awesome adventures here I'd design for you ;) - based on what you share. ;)

Interests

Travel tales & inspirations.
