I’m an enthusiastic, outgoing, open-minded, and sociable person. I respect people for who they are — whatever your religion, background, or sexuality may be. Just please be respectful and don’t push your personality too strongly on me, or I might get a little culture shock 😉.. Please be polite, courteous, and easygoing. I’m happy to hang out with you or walk around my city to explore historical places in District 1 such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Reunification Palace, the War Remnants Museum, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, apartment cafés, the Central Post Office, Book Street, Turtle Lake, Chinatown, night markets, or even the Cu Chi Tunnels — whenever I’m free. We can also grab a coffee or enjoy some local street food together if you’d like. HOSTING NOTES: My place is in Binh Chanh District, around 25 minutes from downtown or Bui Vien Street by motorbike (approximately 13–15 km away). I live in an apartment building on the 25th floor. If you stay at my place for a few nights, the building management requires a copy of your passport and a parking registration if you have your own vehicle. Because of that, I’ll need to talk with you on WhatsApp beforehand to make sure everything goes smoothly. At the moment, I only host one female guest at a time. Around here, you can easily use Grab, buses or another public for transportation. I take my words and other people’s time seriously, so if we make plans, please be punctual. If something changes, kindly let me know in advance. Thanks for reading my profile, and have a wonderful trip 😉 If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Let’s text and hang out — but please don’t message me months before your trip. I don’t usually plan that far ahead because things can change quickly. Also, please understand that hosting people does not mean I’m available as a full-time travel assistant. I work, and I also have my own schedule and responsibilities. I’m happy to help within reason, but please be considerate and respectful. Scammers and freeloaders, please stay away. However, Lately I’ve been focusing a lot on healthy living — good food, exercise, yoga, and Vipassana meditation. I’m also into self-growth, improving my English communication skills, teaching Vietnamese, and learning more about how people connect with each other. For me, Couchsurfing is much more than just a free place to stay. I really enjoy cultural exchange, language sharing, deep conversations, local experiences, and meeting people who see travel as a way to grow and understand the world better. If you enjoy meaningful conversations, sharing life experiences, exploring cultures, or just laughing over coffee and random stories, we’ll probably get along well :)

Sorry i can't host people because new state regulations in Vietnam recently

Hi friends, Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I hope you find some helpful and interesting information for your trip! I'm currently based in Brisbane, Australia, pursuing my dream of studying Social Work, but I'm always happy to help if you're planning a trip to Vietnam — or to catch up if you visit Brisbane! ;);) ---------- A little about me to see what we might have in common: I’m someone who easily falls in love with beauty, psychology, business, and marketing strategy. I'm also currently learning Chinese and working on improving my English! I’d love to share some stories about Saigon—an incredible city with a rich history, beautiful views, and wonderfully friendly people. Since I’m still improving my English, I always appreciate it when people are easy to talk to and help me learn! My schedule is pretty busy with classes, work, and life, but I’ll always do my best to help you with your itinerary while you're here. ------------------ Here are a few of my recommendations if you travel to Ho Chi Minh City.
