ABOUT ME I am Pooh (new name Raylan), from Vietnam, started hosting by myself since 14 years old. I moved to Taiwan 6 years ago for a master’s degree. I am now working as a Vietnamese language teacher and entrepreneur. I have been hosting in several years on and off in both Vietnam and Taiwan. But sadly I cannot host at the moment but if you come to Taipei and interested in meetup and chatting, you can send me a message! PHILOSOPHY I’m a Christian.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I started to host people since I was 14. At that time I lived with two of my cousins in a house in Son La city for studying in Son La High School for the Gifted. We had a valuable amazing unforgetable meaningful time when we host people from many different countries and I learnt a lot from them. 7 years after that was for college and post education and I couldn't host as I always lived in dormitory/small rooms, but I still couchsurfed when I travel. Now I live in Taipei, Taiwan and have better accommodations. I meant to find a room which have sofa/bunk bed to host and luckily I found this ideal room with perfect location. Very excited to host back again!

Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
1️⃣ When I was 15 years old, I cycled a school bike alone to Moc Chau which is 120 km far from where I lived, then met flood on the way back. Ride to there in one day, visit in one day and ride back in one day. What I achieved from the spontaneous trip was that my butt got hurt several months after I get back. 2️⃣ I started hosting since I was 15 years old without my parents knowing because I live in another town to go to a high school for the gifted. People called me the youngest host in the world. Later on, CS changed the policy and locked all the accounts under age 18. I even created another account to keep using until I really reach age 18. 3️⃣ When I was 18 years old enough, I travelled to Laos ignoring my dad's prohibition (which made us had a really big fight and he almost broke the father-son relationship with me), but the result after all is that he later got familiar and was fine with me travelling abroad alone. 4️⃣ I tried to give blood in almost every country I visited and successfully gave blood 3 times in China, once in Myanmar, once in Cambodia (plus around 10 times in Vietnam). Other countries have stricter policy so I couldn’t make it.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
☝️ I love boardgames. I have Uno and Rummikub. We can play together. ✌️ I love cooking then we can cook and share the meals together. We have a common kitchen but not every flatmate use it. I can cook Vietnamese foods for you, it’s definitely much better than Vietnamese restaurants in Taiwan. 🤟 I know how to play basic guitar. Also we can teach each other songs.
