About Me

A young and still try to figure out how to become a well-rounded adult born in 96.
💯 introverted INFP and really into Psychology and Mental Health.
Ready for my very first journey, starting on February 28th, 2019. See you soon my better version :) looking forward to talking to people with different backgrounds around the world on my way. Working for more than 3 years for NGOs in Vietnam, after graduating from college, I worked for 5 months for a retail company in HCMC, quit my job and hit the road and have been through 3 different countries, Thailand, Myanmar, and India.
Updated 2023: after working for Bosch company in Saigon as a software engineer, I’m back to the road by joining a healing fellowship program by thầy Thích Minh Niệm and enrolling myself in a Yoga Teacher Training Course by Shivanada Đà Lạt.
And I feel I’ll become a clinical psychologist 👨‍⚕️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exploring the world and ready to break all of my prejudices about culture and people, starting from February 28th 2019. My sister used to use CS to look for places to stay with her shoestring budget in Europe. After finishing my teaching job in Ranchi, India, I got my first experience being hosted by an extremely hospitable PhD. candidate living in Ranchi, then I got addicted to CS hehe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking across Northern India in Oct 2019 to November 2019 without any penny in my pocket T.T
I got injured and got surgery due to the growth of infection afterward haha, yet it is a worthwhile journey to my life.
Got admitted to both Minerva university with 0.9% acceptance rate (most selective undergraduate program in the world) and Fulbright University Vietnam but refused to enroll to seek another opportunities to prepare for my Master in Clinical Psychology later in 2024.
