Overview
About Me
A simple creature who believes everyone is special as all the others and all opinion should be respected. I am a typical introvert but thankfully I am also friendly and quite talkative when it comes to conversation with less than 4 or 5 people. You cannot stop me if you once interest me, so be careful.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would like to treasure my time in the UK before coming back to my country by travelling, by talking to new people and by experience the life of local from different countries. I had experience travelling alone, walking around Bruges and Dresden and feeling the atmosphere of those ancient town slowly by myself. I also have experienced staying in dorms and meeting some new friends from different countries. Then I think that would be great if I can talk to a local, have long conversation and experience a country through the perspective of a local. Besides, I used to be a travel-mate in Hanoi (Vietnam) where I welcomed and introduced my city with many foreign tourists. Then here I am on Couchsurfing, looking for some chance to meet up, to share about my country and also to be shared about new land and different culture.
Interests

Music, Movies, and Books
My music taste is a bit mixed, I can listen from pop music to indie or soft rock. But my main taste of music is still ballad, I like slow melodies which can calm souls. At the moment, when I am writing these words, I am listening to Noble Maiden Fair from Brave, a lullaby song with peaceful melody.
Besides, I like watching movies as well. I like film based on real stories, as they reflect how each person differs from each other. Some of my favourites are A Beautiful Mind, The Finest Hour, Spotlight and Titanic.
My biggest hobby would be eating. However, I have to live alone when studying abroad in the UK, so I have to cook by myself to have good food to eat. I can't wait to have chance to cook some Vietnamese traditional food as a way to share about my country with foreign friends :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Well riding scooters in Vietnam is already one of most amazing and courageous thing I have done. You know what I mean if you have ever gone to Vietnam haha.
Ah another amazing thing that I've done is to have a overnight bicycle tour around my Hanoi. We went to Long Bien bridge, wandering around the early morning market which started from 2-3:00AM. We stopped by West Lake and sit a round on the pavement, and sang along with guitar. No internet, no Facebook, just talking and chilling with a beautiful Hanoi. We ended the tour by a pho in the old quarter at 6:00AM the next morning. Hanoi at night, with no noises, with no traffic jam, is a different Hanoi - calm, sophisticated and tender. That trip was so short, was so simple but it was one of the most amazing thing I've done.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can do all the type of household charges including but not limited to cooking, Vietnamese food is one of the best, try and you will agree with meeeee!!!
Besides, I am a curious head and have some hobbies at which I am not professional at, such as photography, singing,... so we share any in common :P
Also, if you ever want to know more about Vietnam or my city Hanoi, I can talk with you all day, I can travel with you without the need of a plane ticket.
