CURRENT MISSION

To be better than myself yesterday

ABOUT ME

Belgian of Vietnamese descent, I like to think I got the best out of both cultures: humble, friendly, hard working. I'm calm and outgoing, more a listener than a talker, but superactive in terms of occupation.
As an adept of personnal development, there is always something to enrich myself with, might be work related or as a hobby point of view, or could be as simple as learning while reading.

I had, and still have, the chance to participate in construction projects all around the globe, thanks to my field of work: a harbour in Vietnam, an offshore wind farm in Sweden, an oil rig in Australia, a water treatment plant in Zambia, a hydroelectric dam in Canada... I am really passionate about Civil Engineering !

While moving with the jobs, I developed my passion for independant travelling, which I believe gives me the freedom and the peace that I seek. I prefer outdoors adventures and natural environment to big cities, and particularly, I love animal photography-hunting (this word probably does not exist).

See you somewhere in the world !

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, be humble, kind and thoughtful about others around us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Show you my city around
Always open for a drink/coffee
Always up for a game of any sport

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Aside from traveling, I practice lots of sport: soccer, badminton, squash, tennis, swimming, scuba diving,.... Anyone in need of a partner can always contact me for a game !

I am a salsa and bachata dancer.

I love Korean cinema (I recommend "Old Boy", "A Bittersweet Life" and "The Man From Nowhere"). Korean cinema really deserves to be known.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will share (almost) everything with you.
I want to learn to drive a motorbike, to pilot a plane, to speak Portuguese or Spanish, to do a martial art, to kitesurf, to become a Masterchef, to play the piano...

I'll teach you the basics of salsa and bachata, if you're a beginner. If you're an experienced dancer, I'll accompany you to the best places in town !
