My name is Bell Tran, Vietnamese, and my husband is Ankur from India. You can call me by Bell since it might be hard to pronounce my real Vietnamese name (Ngoc). 🤗

We are living in Ho Chi Minh City with our 15 year-old- son who can also speak English :)

We are both coaches, trainers, spiritual therapists and interested in learning cultures, psychology, movies, human relationships, history, meditation and spirituality…

We’d like to explore the world and different cultures... but we have not been able to travel much lately. So it would be nice to meet people from all over the world to share our life experiences.

Countries I (Bell) have visited and lived (XXXX):

1. India
2. USA (XXXX)
3. Hongkong
4. Taiwan
5. Dubai
6. Austria
7. Italy
8. France (XXXX)
9. Spain
10. Portugal
11. Greece

13. Thailand (XXXX)
14. Singapore
15. Malaysia
16. Cambodia
17. China
18. Philippines
19. Vietnam (XXXX)
20. Japan

My husband and I are both spiritual people (not religious) so we do believe we all meet for a good reason, and to discover very interesting things. We are always grateful for everything that happens to our life.

My favorite quotes are:
"Life is a box of chocolates. You'll never know what you're gonna get" - Forrest Gump
"Knowing yourself, and you'll know the Universe" - Christiane Muller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS in 2019 when I started to travel again after many years focusing on family only.

I am interested in this couchsurfing community also because I used to host people in the past (when our family had a spare room, and time still allowed me to do that). I have hosted friends and even people from abroad when they travel to HCMC.

In the mean time, I might or might not be able to host you depending on the time you come.

Depending on your arrival time and date, I might be able to offer you a couch and shower, and maybe warm meals with good conversations or a city tour if our schedules suit us well.

Otherwise, we can still offer you a home-made meal or some local tips if you visit Ho Chi Minh. We like to have an international exposure and make friends with wondeful people from all over the world.

I am also happy to meet you for a coffee to talk or give you other information if you need anything in Ho Chi Minh City.

You can check out my photos with our guests and even our email exchange in 2013 in the photo section.

Those I hosted are referred by friends or people who stayed with us before, so no need to go through a website like CS at that time. Many of them are Vietnamese as well.

I myself used to be an exchange student in Wisconsin (USA) during my university years... so I appreciate the time spent with my host family and learned the local lifestyle and cultures.

I love to meet and exchange life experiences with people all over the world.

I want to visit places and have a thought that it would be more fun to do couchsurfing instead of staying in a hotel room... It's so fun to meet like-minded people, and share our life experiences, learn from each other, and feel the warmth of the hospitality during our travel.

My life was quite exciting in my younger years, and I traveled much less after I got married and had a baby.

Now that my son is 13 yrs old, and perhaps we could travel a bit more after the pandemic, I’d like to explore the world a bit more whenever I can, when I can combine with my business trip. Time for vacation seems to be shortened, but perhaps we will do more “mini-vacations” in the near future.

I invest a lot in my training/business programs, to discover and heal myself, and would also like to share my knowledge with someone or a family who couchsurf me.

In fact, my CS hosts have experienced my workshop during the time they CS me, and really enjoyed their own discovery.

I like to enrich my perspectives and to seek more "stories" for my future music or book composition as well because that is one of my dreams.

If you are interested in exploring your family dynamics, your relationship with people around you, or even with objects like money, job, ..
my husband and I would be happy to share with you a bit more about our work.

We believe, “when one person is healed, 7 generations will also be healed”.

I am looking forward to meeting you. As we connect, the world is smaller… and also better…

Angelic love, light and gratitude,

🤗💖🎊💫🌈🌸☘️

Teach, Learn, Share

My job is to learn, teach and share many topics regarding my healing journey after some traumatic experiences in life, and how I started my life again.

I am currently a trainer/coach/interpreter/therapist in Emotional Intelligence, Emotional Healing, Mindful Leadership, Teamwork, and an NLP and Life Coach.

I give workshops and training in Emotional
Intelligence, Emotional Healing, Mindful Leadership, … and to help people connect with their inner self, inner child, and heal themselves, improve the quality of their relationships, work, life, health… through appropriate tools like Art Therapy, Photography, Meditation, Music, Movies, and Systemic Work, Family and Organization Constellation.

I also help others heal their inner child wounds, and can even guide you to see your past life if you are ready for this deep dive-in journey.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to bring some local food and souvenirs from Vietnam for you to enjoy :)

I want to share with you a game called Points-of-you that can help you understand yourself at a deeper level by connecting with your Emotions, unconscious memories, inner child, ... and many more interesting things...

I love to sing, and share my meditation and healing journey... so if that is something I can also offer as well... I like to share my life experiences with everyone.

Perhaps if you want to experience what Meditation or Mindfulness is, I am more than happy to guide you as well.

Besides that, I can also offer you my presence with mindfulness as a listener, which is important and not always available in this busy society…

You can check out my youtube link that has a few guided meditation… (I only have one English meditation on my youtube), but many Vietnamese).
