About Me

Indian loving and living in Vietnam.

-------------Please go thru my profile (preferably "Accepting Guests" section above this) before sending requests to stay and those who don't care to read won't get any response from me as it's upmost important to know your host first.-------------

SAID SAYONARA TO HANOI AND RELOCATED IN HCMC, SOUTH OF VIETNAM. I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO SETTLE DOWN BEFORE CONTINUE HOSTING AGAIN. UNTIL THEN NO CS HOSTING REQUESTS PLEASE! THANK YOU 🙏

NOTE: MOSTLY I ACCEPT HOSTING REQUESTS FEW DAYS IN ADVANCE OR LAST MIN CALLS!

I'll start with some famous quotes from Rumi 👇
"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.”
“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”
Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.”
"I know you’re tired but come, this is the way."
"For many, perfection will always be out of reach. But the road we travel towards our goals is often more important than our destination."

When I meet people in different parts of the world, I am always reminded that we are all basically alike: we are all human beings" ~ Tenzin Gyatso

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us." ~ Robyn Yong

And i like one quote from the movie STEP UP 3: Some famous guy once said, "To travel is better than to arrive."

***DO NOT SEND ME FRIEND REQUEST UNTIL WE MEET EACH OTHER IN REAL LIFE!***

If it's not easy for you to pronounce my name, simply call me "AVIE" (Pronounced as A-V)

Do you want to apply for E-Visa to Vietnam? (you can check on link if you are eligible to apply for e-visa). Do not get in the trap of any travel agents and waste money, apply officially on this Vietnam govt website:

Student of life, citizen of universe! Indian living in Hanoi, Vietnam since 5 plus years. I believe that sometimes journey is more beautiful than a destination..... and I love meeting peoples from planet earth and aliens are welcome too if they do exists somewhere, lol! I am an easy going, living life on fullest, love to meet like minded peoples and exchange views.
Carpe diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. A stranger is just a friend whom you've not met yet! So I love idea of meeting friends across the globe 🌍
2. An open world begins with an open mind and open home for peoples who wants to stay with you and willing to share ideas, cultures and much more!
