CURRENT MISSION

Finding home in Brussels!

ABOUT ME

My name is Van Minh Nguyen. I was born and grew up in Italy, but half of my blood is Vietnamese.

I'm a fresh PhD student in Cultural Anthropology at ULB, so I'm about to move to Brussels.

My greatest passion is music. I've been playing the drums for 17 years and been touring all around Europe with my band (Kuadra) for 5 years. I can share plenty of funny anecdotes about tour life!

I love reading, sharing ideas and listening to other people's life histories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You know, if two people have two apples and they exchange them, they will end up having one apple each. If two people have two ideas and they exchange them, they will have two ideas each. I just love meeting new people and exchanging ideas.
