I was born and raised in Vietnam, a bit heritage of Asia. I moved to Finland for my studying when I was 18 years old. It was one of the beautiful changes in my life that I have just discovered. Since I went far away from my comfort zone, what I meant my family, friends and countries, I adapted Western cultures as much as my heart could flow. One of a literally evidence was surviving in the first depressed winter with -25 Celcius degree, (I did stay the last 18 years of my life without seeing snow). Believe me, we all have extraordinary power that we've never known. Therefore, I was confident in understanding myself more while traveling, especially solo backpacking. And you know what? That's incredible! The more I go, the lovely World I explored. People teach me how to live my actual life, follow my passion and reach my dream. People teach me how to see-smell-taste-feel by my own eyes-nose-mouth-heart. People teach me how to stay calmly, breath deeply and enjoy freshly. All what I've learnt, I can't wait to share with you!
And want more important thing, if you already read my profile, send me your message with Hello Alice :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is an awesome platform!what I heard from others, mostly, it is not safe to use Couchsurfing. I was totally surprised during my first backpacking trip, lovely hosts, tasty meals, warm-welcoming, moved sharing, great helps. I sometimes can't understand how nice and helpful people are to me. One host, cooked for me every single meals, guided me the city. One host, told me warm stories, brought me his mom-food, constantly ask me if I need helps. One host, even took several days off, drove me around beautiful rural places. How can't I know this incredible community before?
As I received a lot of favours, I would love to give back whoever coming to my place. I will help you as much as I can!

Interests

After my first hectic trip, I feel peace when I stay in nature. I love hiking, listening to the wooden sound, watching birds singing and several pieces dancing in the forest.
I am also a museum lover. History in my eyes is precious, that knowledge is very wide which I've never touched to its limit. Therefore, I always try to understand how do we have the World today! Am I boring? Let's see it by yourself ;)
I'm into writing, just realized it lately. I was getting a good feeling while I calmed myself down, sat and wrote everything that I witnessed in a day, especially about travel! I have my own blog and on the way to improve it day by day. If you have any tips, share with me :)
Also cooking!!!! I can't wait to cook for you my yummy Vietnamese cuisine :))

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoyed every moment with music, classic and pop. Some songs with peace and pureness. However, I am really bad at song names and singers. If you ask me something about music, I might be a bit silly, but anyhow, I will try my best!
Books!!! I am a book lover! All of the topics that I can cover, except some business books. I used to do my internship in Serbia, meanwhile, my boss asked me to read some kinda business books. It's interesting but not my interests. However, I love all other types of genres, adventure, science fiction, travel, mystery, romance even drama or horror sometime :)
Movies!!! Can't miss it! Whenever I feel stressful, this is my painkillers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I found myself as a natural lover, book addict, food hunter and photographer. I can teach you whatever that related. I might not the best one but I will do it with my passion..
In a meantime, I am opening to learn what you can share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am Asian, so what? You can't miss a chance to know about my beloved country, culture, people, cuisine, history, just name a few. There are much more to learn about, right?
I had some modest backpacking stories that I really want to share with you. Me, with 1 backpack, 1 suitcase, handling by myself, wandering around Balkans and Turkey within 2 months! It sounds wonderful, right? Not really! I can't keep remembering how many buses did I take in a very late night, how many flights, delays did I waited, how many struggles did I met on the roads. However, my experiences were priceless.
