ABOUT ME

I am inquisitive and observant - nothing intrigues me more than a book's wisdom and a person's experience. Almost too kind for my own good, I am sensitive towards others' need and put others' interest above my own. I can get anxious in a large crowd, but put me in a room with a handful of engaging people, and you make my night.

I was born in Hanoi, Vietnam. I went to Singapore to study on a scholarship on my own when I was 15. Never regretted the hardship I went through being alone at a young age. I'm now a permanent resident, doing my tertiary education in Singapore. Currently in Busan, Korea on an exchange. I am neat, considerate and a great roommate- a result of having lived in dormitory for 7 years since I was 15. Independence is another trait I adopted living on my own for so long.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not good at small talks since I find them absolutely dreary. But I open up fast, reply candidly and love to listen, so people can be drawn to me quickly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any, and can't help but feeling a little wary. But heck, I have always been trusting of people, and i love people and it has always turned out for the better.

Interests

I love reading books and making movies. I love to listen to a person's experience - i love a good story and as a future reporter, I love to retell stories as well. It makes me feel blessed to hear about another person's experience and realise how large the world is and how much I still have to explore.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite directors are David Lynch, Tarantino, Zhang Yimou and a handful others. I love to surf Vimeo and admire creativity like nothing else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing 'thing' I have seen is actually the people I have met. Their stories, experience and personality never failed to move and inspire me, and open up my horizon of experience like no others.
