Por que estou no Couchsurfing
A few years ago I read a book by a daring Vietnamese girl, Huyen Chip, who travelled around the world with Couchsurfing as her "best friend". My mind was blown away by all the life-changing interactions and epic experience this girl had with the people she met through Couchsurfing. Instantly I knew I wanted to put Couchsuring on my to-do-list. After a few times being hosted by super friendly and cool Couchsurfers, who have made my traveling experiences so memorable with their local wisdom and welcoming vibe, I know this is the community I want to be a part of. I hope to enrich my life through every unique Couchsurfing experience, and hope to do the same to my hosts as well!
Música, Filmes e Livros
Folk and indie music. Or actually, anything that sounds resonating with my emotions/ mood. Business/ personal development books or literature books that depicts urgent social/ political/ historical social issues.
Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
Travelled to a rural area in Beijing on my own, with limited Chinese and 150yuan on me as my asset. On that trip I tried out my luck crashing overnight in a random inn and ended up forming dear friendship with the inn owner and his family!
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
Just do things that minimize my contradictions.
O Que Posso Oferecer aos Hosts
My beloved home country Vietnam My interest in social entrepreneurship My study-abroad experiences around the world My genuine intention to listen to your stories :)
Meus Interesses
I have had considerable experiences leading community projects for national and international social organizations, especially those related to education and youth empowerment. I have a bigger, lifelong interest in social enterprises, or any type of business with impact that seek to create social values beyond the profit bottom line. My dream is to set up a social enterprise of my own. My vision is to find my voice and help others find theirs. I am an eager traveling spirits and a strong advocate of traveling on one's own! I also love listening to and reflecting on other people's stories, and I am super excited about ideas or organizations that adopt a human-centered approach in their action. Other things that will make my eyes light up include a book, a coffee chat with friends or some solitude moments just taking a deep breath or sketching/ writing to connect with my inner voice.
