Hello!My name is Hang NGUYEN and I am a Vietnamese. I move to Paris for 3 years ago to study design and art in " the école nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs". I'm looking to learn about the places that I visit by meeting and staying with the people that live there. I love drawing, taking picture and I'd be happy to trade art for a place to stay : ) You can see some of my work here:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer I'll be traveling around Europe throughout August. I'm really looking forward to this trip and would prefer to meet and stay with locals during my travels rather than staying by myself in hotels so that I might get a better sense of the places that I'll be visiting by meeting and spending time with people in the area.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that some of the most amazing experiences that I've had involve coming across wild animals in their natural environments. When I was 14 I was hiking around some tidal pools near my house and I discovered an octopus hanging out in a shallow pool of water. I knelt down to have a closer look and we made eye contact. After a moment or two the octopus rapidly shifted between many colors of the spectrum before swimming away. It was a beautiful experience. To this day it was one of my life's most memorable moments.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, yes and yes.
