About Me

You can call me Charlie
ENTJ
I love traveling to rural areas and exchange culture with local people, especially in Vietnam we have so much ethnic groups which differ a lot.
My hometown is in Hanoi, but I am more than willing to help you guys with information in other cities as well in Vietnam. If we have time to meet, I am sure giving you great time and explore our places from the perspective of a local. Have fun!
About my house: it's a bit far from the central but also a good location to explore local life from the perspective of someone who was born in the OQ
I like joking around, something sarcasm but dont mean to offend anyone.

Here is a tip for VND currency
First skip the last 3 zeros
You will notice a comma
And make it a "k"
Then these colors code:
Yellow for 10 and 200
Blue is small 5 and 20
Brown, oh it's either 1 or 2
Amazing emerald is the biggest 500
Save the red for middle-ish 50
And that all there is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet and get to know people around the world, explore their culture and explain them to mine.
It's in my nature to help others. If you ever visit Vietnam, just messege me and I can reply with the best I can get.
Also, if I have friends around the world, wouldn't it be easier and legendary to travel around the world by myself, connect with people in every places I visit?

Interests

I like a broad range of genre when talking about musics, movies, books..., just anything that makes me happy. I like to taste every dishes that the world has ever made, and cooking is one of my many hobbies. Coffee and tea is my favorite too. It would be nice if I could just sit in a wooden house inside a forest, sipping tea and read books.
I have board games session on every weekend. Feel free to join us, I will send the location.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited every provinces in Northern Vietnam, solo travel

Teach, Learn, Share

+ Philosophy
Buddhism, Taoism, Stoicism, Atheism
I'm not religious, just interest in their philosophy
"If you can do better, why not do better?"
"Be like water, just go with the flow. It gets everywhere, but always goes down. With enough heat, it will rise."
+ Vietnamese
So you all know about the 6 tones in Vietnamese, also the 11+1 vowels, all can be combined together and with the tones too, create a big triple vowels which could be hard to pronounce. Just remember to prolong the vowels like when singing. But as you see, we dont really like consonants, so they only come alone, at either start or end a word, and no ending sounds. Those tips would be very helpful when you trying to speak our language. Once you know ho to say, it s always easy to write.
