ABOUT ME
I'm open to everything (almost, you know what I mean ;))
and I very welcoming, empathic and I can be the guide or your dreams for the city where you stay, not necessarily for my cultural skills but more for spending good time in the best places according to your personality.
Moreover, I would be very glad to learn from you and your culture because I think that I can learn from everybody humanly.
PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy : "You should know what you want. When you know it, you must have the courage to say it, when you say it, you must have the courage to do it." Georges Clemenceau
My way of living : "A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm gonna tell you one story that enriched me a lot : In my engineer school, I had to do an internship abroad and I decided to go to Los Angeles alone because I knew that if I had stayed with French friends, I would have only spoken French, it was very hard to leave my comfort zone, but it's because I was shy before (and I gave myself many challenges to cure my shyness but that is another story ;)). When I was in the plane, I met a couple that invited me to stay in their appartment for 1 day until I find something, it was so nice. Then, in the library , I met a girl named Aly who introduced me to her friends directly and invited me to eat with them. During the meal, I met a guy named Bruce who directly invited me to his place for one week. You cannot imagine the feeling it gave me because it never happened to me in France. And it's from that day I realized the strength of Networking.
I have other experiences like in Barcelona where I found someone to host me and my friend during the New Year.
And now, I would like to create a feeling of benevolence in France.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I love people who succeeded in a field after putting many efforts on it and people who don't live in a routine and leave their comfort zone all the time.
My best experience was when I sang for my first time in front of everybody in a bar (this was one of the many chalenges I gave to me)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you the differences the French culture and how is the mentality in many regions in France and also the differences between the Vietnam culture and France culture because my ethnicity is vietnamese and my view as an Asian who grew up in France.
I can also share my personal experience and my own success story if you want.
