I am Ben, optician in VN / white collar in Germany ( sounds weird but real). Solving tough problems is kind of my thing, and when challenges come up, I’d rather dive in than walk away. Hard times create strong men!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is better when a local helps me out and discover the country in another point of view than just staying in hotel. I would love to get to know people and learn from them

Music, Movies, and Books

A historical story or the legend is really attractive for me. I love mysterious stuff and love to solve the hard question.

Learning German at work by intentionally avoiding English and imitating native speakers.
Built back the traditional family optical business into well-known boutiques.
Become the first international auditor in my company (99% German)
