Xin chao :)

I'm Giang, pronnounced as zang.

I'm from Hanoi and has been living in Saigon for few years already. I

I'm kind of backpacker (being solo most of the time), a budget traveler who love the nature. mountains and wildlife, quiet areas, the hidden spots in town, the lands with no existence of modern life. ASEAN countries are always my ultimate favorite destinations, every little small provinces/ town have their own beauty and charm that you can never find at others. I only started backpacking 4 years ago after my very first earns, I have been into traveling since then and enjoy the trips in my own way.

ABOUT ME

An ISFP in details, super quiet, calm and considerate. I would say I'm living a calm life in general. I'm not a good talker, however, I do love to meet new people and make friends who share the same interests and life spirit. Once after that, I would become super talkative, loud, and a truly crazy bastard friend for you : )))).

A tea, fruit, vegetable lover : )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you come just because Couchsurfing is free for accommodations and you have no respect to me as the host, PLEASE PLEASE DON'T WRITE OR REQUEST ME, I've been receiving a lot of cramps, really!!! So I chose to only respond to people who show their behaviour, respect, and responsibility.

I would love to meet, get to know new people who have the same vibe with me; their different perspective on life and amazing stories; and their secret tips about the town that I can't find at anywhere else.

Interests

I have a huge passion for traveling by throwing myself to nature and forget others. I enjoy both being solo and being with my friends. I love the forest, mountain, and hiking.

I love taking street and nature photos, especially the sun shots. Enjoy the time walking through the streets, discovering the hidden gems of the city. Sitting at a cafe or pavement hahaa watching the life going on with an empty and peaceful mind.
