Hi, my name is Eric, Vietnamese name is Nam. At 24, I was formerly the youngest person to visit every country to visit every country.

Instagram: EricNguyenTravels (I am new to most social media, so there are just a few posts there. I'll have photos of Syria, Yemen, North Korea and my other adventures coming up).

I am an aspiring anesthesiologist and world traveler. Born and raised in the USA, I took three gap years to chase my dream of visiting every country in the world. At the age of 24, I have visited all 198 countries, so there will be lots of stories for all Couchsurfers to here.

I LOVE DOGS and furry pets. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends and meeting new people.

My favorite sports are snowboarding and baseball, but I also enjoy following basketball, hockey, and American football.

To sum it up, my dreams are to visit every country in the world, joining Doctors Without Borders, and eventually helping to change to make the world a better place. I also want to open up a snow resort in Vietnam one day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel the world and meet new, local people that can introduce me to the culture and the cuisine in their country.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a variety of music. My favorite book is Harry Potter
