Hi guys!
I have joined this community for enough long time (at least in my opinion!) but rarely practice "couch-surfing" for real, which is such a shame! I mean as a student, although a student studying abroad, I rarely have this chance requesting some host taking me! My very first couch-surfing was with this popular (once again, at least I THINK!) Russian girl in Saint-Peter, the most beautiful city of Russia (as people often compliment). I was actully struggling fingding a host, 'cause my profile was literally empty then. I was plain and absolutely inexperienced, which also leaded to some troubles and midunderstanding between me and Maria-the host. However, in the end, I have learned something from this whole new expericence (stay in with a complete stranger). I still thank Maria so much for giving me this chance <3 guiding my first step to this journey hehe.
My 2nd couch-surfing was also in Saint-Peter, with a 30-year-old mom and her 2 little girls. Everything was fine with me and I tried to behave (at least I think...) but because of language barrier, sometimes I couldn't explain to her what I meant, which caused after that her unpleasant feelings. Which is sad and unsatisfying after all.
I never have a chance to host anybody, 'cause my house in Vietnam is just unsuitable, and now i'm living in university dormitory. Let's see one day if I could become a host :)

Interests

I'm a vegetarian trying to be total vegan (but not really that easy 'cause of ICE-CREAM aww ice-cream is so criminal!!). I don't eat meat or fish or egg, I don't drink milk or use honey, I don't wear leather but I won't judge if you do (at least I'd TRY) (although in some particular situations I won't hahaha). But honestly I would attempt to guild you to the benifits of giving up animal products, if you don't be againtst that :) Or else I'm willing to be against you for that purpose LOL
Plus, beside being plant-based, I'm doing low-wasting and minimalism. I avoid producing trash and footprints. I enjoy travelling with minimalizing all Earth harms.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching and reading. Since childhood I have turned out to be an addict to anything having words on! I mean papers and books, comics and schoolbooks (since I can read, I always started reading along my Literature books before the semester). My maternal relatives were running this coffee shop, where providing fresh papers every day. That's my very first library, where I have received my basic Vietnamese vocabulary and so discovered my passion for literature.
Not long ago I came up with this The fountainhead of Ayn Rand. This book is such brilliant and life-changing. it stops all my doubts, starts all my believing and give me answers. You knowing this book means that we are familiars already :)
My romantic favorite movies are The bridges of Madison county, such a charming and beautiful film, and Pretty woman - so famous that I dont find the need to explain why.
My criminal fav series are: Prison break (no need to ask why. yep), Hannibal (I'm still watching, kind of depressed, but...), Sherlock Holmes (damn, it's just so fucking hilarious!)
Fav of all time criminal movie: Dredd-the judge. This movie is so breath-taking and oddly under-rated. Shame. I can watch it again and again and again to eternal. And I just remember, of course, The dark knight. Hahaha.
Fav comedies: How I met your mother (I've completed it. Yes, I do), Chewing gum (after watching this, you can't help but loving all the casts, especially Michael Coel aww)
Fav cartoon: Isle of Dogs - this movie is so unusual, and a must for dog lovers. "People" in this film speak Japanese (mostly) and dogs speak English :)) I'll spoil no more, you NEED to watch it for more detail. You will no way regret.

Of course the list is not closed. Just the biggest ones that pop up in my mind right now :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided myself to go study abroad. in Russia specifically. Only when I look back after almost 4 years, I can realize how brave I was when I did it. Only then I was clueless about what COULD and WOULD happen.
This changes me a lot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring the spirit, the manner, the cooperation, the help, if needed, and the last but not least, some souvernirs (gifts) from where I come from, and maybe traditional foods LOL
