Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Until recently, I did not have a place to offer, so I would only couchsurf actively. I feel that the time has come to give back to the community by having people over in my flat in Paris.

I have come to understand that the most challenging borders are the social ones. Staying at a local's house is one way to overcome that frontier. I genuinely enjoy all kinds of conversation. My endeavors are intellect- and art-oriented.

Teach, Learn, Share

• I have become completely lucid in a dream, which turned me into a floating point of consciousness. I cannot describe how odd it felt.

• Bungie and parachute jumping were two highlights of my teen years. I had always wondered what free fall would feel like, as it often appeared in my dreams. It is one of those things you have to experience yourself to really grasp, which I find mysterious yet beautiful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hanoi place where space is scarce and beauty abundant. I have the luck to rent a spacious room and would like to share it with travelers from all over the world. I studied here for two years, and can recall countless times where I felt lucky to be in this unique city. Sharing those moments with passionate people would further increase their effect.
