Membro desde 2015
Hello everyone! My name is Dương, and I am an English teacher from Kon Tum, a mountainous province in Central Vietnam. I have over six years of teaching experience, mainly working with children and teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds. From 2026, I will be heading to New Zealand to pursue a Master of Education (M.Ed.) at the University of Canterbury as a recipient of the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship. This journey marks an important milestone in my professional development and my long-term commitment to improving English education for students in underserved areas. Through my teaching experience, I have realized that many children in my province have limited opportunities to practice spoken English or engage in intercultural exchange. To respond to this need, I founded a non-profit initiative called KonTum Talks Club, which provides a free English-speaking environment and promotes cultural sharing between local students and international visitors.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
A colleague once introduced Couchsurfing to me as an effective way to enhance English learning through real-life interaction. Since then, I have hosted many down-to-earth and inspiring people, and the memories we’ve created together are truly unforgettable.

Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
I have been living life to the fullest, chilling with like-minded people, and I’m proud to have earned a scholarship to study in New Zealand.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
I’m happy to teach you basic Vietnamese language and cuisine, and I absolutely love learning from others and exchanging travel experiences.
O Que Posso Oferecer aos Hosts
I’m quite obsessed with cooking. If you provide fresh ingredients—or simply show me the nearest market—I’d be more than happy to prepare a meal for everyone. I also bring plenty of stories, laughter, and positive energy 😊
Meus Interesses
My life goal is to wander every corner of this world, slow down, and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I am especially keen on trekking, as it allows me to connect deeply with nature and local landscapes. Recently, I have also developed a strong interest in pickleball, which I find both fun and a great way to stay active and meet new people. In addition, I am deeply passionate about photography, particularly capturing people, moments, and everyday cultural life.
