Hello there! I am a fun loving women ready to start her journey to make the world a happier place one continent at a time. This is why I signed up for couch surfing.

My journey started in Vietnam a week ago. "What made you smile today?" is the question I am asking kids (and adults) all over the world. The stories that people are willing to share with me are documented and shared at www.trulyfeelgood.com. I am hoping to make adults a bit more aware of the power they have within themselves and to take them back to that feeling of when they were a kid. Free of judgement and enjoying every little moment that life has to offer. This is what I believe makes people feel happy and I'm hoping to inspire everyone by showing them (through the written word, photo's or and/or video).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from different nationalities

Interests

I started my journey here in Hanoi, Vietnam to try to make the world a happier place, one continent at a time. I would love to meet people just to hang out with - have a drink or eat a meal together or go dancing- do yoga that kind of stuff.

I would also love to meet Vietnamese people that speak English well enough to help me with my project- www.trulyfeelgood.com. For this project I am trying to connect with Vietnamese people by asking them what made them smile that day. I've not been here that long yet, but I can tell that I need some help in the translation department, will you help me? :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of music- R&B, hip hop, today's hits- Justin Timberlake is one of my all time favorites- love that guy- he's hilarious and so amazingly talented.

As for movies- any romcom or psychological thriller/ action movie-- I'm game.
When it comes to reading books- I prefer either positive reinforcement books - on life and gratitude and detectives- being the investigator always gets my blood pumping :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm doing it right now :)

I started the project called Truly Feel Good. For this project I'm traveling the world to make connections, start friendships, to inspire and be inspired. I'm asking people from all over the world what made them smile that day. Even though you might have had a bad day, there will always be something that you smiled about.

In this way I'm hoping to bring the positivity and the love for life to the forefront with every individual I meet and speak with. I feel that this can bring more happiness. A happy world is a peaceful world and that's the world I want to live in :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently in Vietnam to on the one hand teach English. The main reason however is to connect with people from all around the world asking them what made them smile today- by doing so I'm hoping to make the world a happier place one smile at a time :)

I would love to meet up with someone that speaks Vietnamese and English and that is willing to translate for me.
