CURRENT MISSION

Traveling to as many EU countries as I can in 20 days while keeping myself fit and my weight stable (I'm an ectomorph)

ABOUT ME

Very brief about me, I was born and grew up in Vietnam. I was born poor but happy. The whole country was poor. Life was simple and peaceful. Things quickly changed. Each year brought something new with it to my life; first was Nintendo, then Playstation and Lego, then Star Craft, Counter Strike, then Internet and all the crazy things that tagged along with it... I started watching cartoon network at 12, and completely stopped watching Vietnamese TV at 14. Everyone else was starting to have more money than they knew what to do with. Life was not so simple and beautiful anymore. The city became over crowded and over polluted (you know, the same old story). I decided that I want to live my life in the US at 15, and I duly followed that dream at 18. 2.5 years later, I am here in London, chasing after dreams and goals that I could not possibly have dreamt of a few years back.
One day I will come back and fix the mess back home. For now, I think I deserve to live a better life and chase after my crazy young dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

A winner never quits. A quitter never wins. I believe in doing everything smart, and by smart I mean I research all I can before doing anything. Most people don't do two things until the end their entire life.

Doing something unimportant well does not make it important.
Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important. I believe in the 80/20 rules.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope that I can share my life experience, as well as my hobbies and interests with everyone

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any of this kind of experience yet. But from what my friend told me, I know it would be awesome

Interests

I love listening to all kinds of music.
I am totally happy just sitting on my ass all day watching movies and tv shows. I've watched most of the 250 greatest movies on IMDB already. Also I love Scrubs, House...
I never miss going to the gym. I am a classic ectomorph (eat until it hurts, and then eat some more. That's how hard it is for me to gain weights). Therefore, I am very serious about my workout, rest, and nutrition. You can ask me anything about this.

• books
• movies
• tv
• traveling
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

For movies, just go to imdb top 250, I love most of those movies.
Music, I love them all too.
Books, I love reading books, but I think that reading novels is only fun but not really useful (it is like watching movies, just a different kind of fun). Therefore, i don't read as much as before. I only read to research about doing something.
