Hey there! This is Trung from Vietnam (fun fact: the name means Loyal - Leal in Spanish).

Born and raised in a 100% Vietnamese female family, living in Spain for 16 years, also a year for Erasmus in Budapest and another one in Russia when I was a little creature.

I would describe myself as friendly, talkative, intense, spontaneous. Also I'm independent, flexible, responsible, reliable (my name means Loyal and I plan to honour it).

Oh and for sure I have a good and kind heart. And humble, hell yeah, I'm so humbleeeeeeeeeeeee xD

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know new people from all over the world, to learn, get inspired and evolve.

Also to help cool strangers to have a safe space to rest and enjoy their trip, hence increase my good karma ratings (very important xDDD), and maybe make a new friend and possible host in the future *wink wink :))

I gotta say as well that this might be a big deal for some people, I'm a very physical person, sometimes unconsciously and spontaneously. Let me put an example: we're talking and if we're sitting close to each other, it feels natural for me to touch your knee, your elbow, your hand or your shoulder. I love long hugs (I would never say no to a hug from any human being, even if they smell bad xD), caresses and affection. One of my love language is definitely physical contact. Nevertheless, it's totally fine if you're a non-physical person, please just let me know before hand. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable or have any misunderstandings. I won't kick you out or reject to host you because you don't want hugs or physical contact. Please be assured about that.

Another thing, age-gap doesn't matter for me, I will treat you equally, but I understand that for some people, specially younger ones, age matters. "For some it's a No go. For others, a chance to share different views and experiences. Your call!! Growing older is unavoidable. Growing up is a choice." (Love this bit from another CSer -Sirvaliente-)

*** LAST BUT NOT LEAST: If you have had bad experiences in CS in Málaga with some male hosts, you can always share with me about it. I would like to make a blacklist for solo female travellers about questionable hosts. I'm sick of guys using CS as Tinder (don't get me wrong tho, when there's chemistry between 2 persons, it's another story. Also I know people who use Tinder to make friends or open up their social networks, so there's nothing wrong about Tinder either. But using CS to get laid, to exclusively and ultimately seek for hookups, taking advantage of genuine travelers is sad and lame, and this kind of attitude should be punished).

Interests

I like and appreciate things in life that can't be bought with money - to sing, to watch sunset, to converse, to joke around. I'm passionate about music, movies, culture, art, philosophy, etc. I'm flexitarian - which is like the evil cousin of veganism :)) and I care about being socially en environmentally respectful and in harmony with the surroundings.

I have specially interest about love and relationships as well, I've been through monogamy, open relationships, polyamory. If you wanna talk about this (who doesn't¿¿¿), be my guest (no pun intended xD)!
