Hello, I'm Duc (you can call me Duke). I was born in Hanoi and now living there. As a freelance writer, I love travelling, especially adventurous trips to remoted and untouched area, learning about cultures and experiencing the world. I'm easy-going, friendly, love meeting new people on the road. I love smiling, so just smile to each other and everything's gonna be fine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a budget traveller, but it's not the main reason why I'm here. It's always great to meet local people, live with them, learn something from them and exchange a lot of things together. This idea of sharing inspires me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can play a bit of guitar, low level, do need to look at the chords! The 90s' music is my preference. My fav movies so far are The Maze Runner, La la land, Danish girl, The shape of water, Coco...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my student time, I was lucky enough to be a member of a volunteer organization on tourism named Hanoikids. It changed my whole life. We help tourists explore Hanoi for totally free of charge, but in very a unique way, do what locals do. That experience brought me chances to meet up so many interesting people from all around the world. It helped me improve my English as well as grow my dream to travel the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be a little adventurous when you're young. That's the best way to explore the world and explore yourself. Don't ever let fear limit you. Be prepare for the worst and be ready for the best!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, experiences and of course some fun days out. I'm willing to teach Vietnamese and give advice to travel Vietnam. I'm ready to show you around Hanoi (on my bike!) if you travel there.
