Hi!
I'm Lizzie.
I come from the south of London and have been living in Hanoi for almost 4 years.

I am a super bubbly and colourful individual, very outgoing, creative, chatty and enthusiastic.
Definitely an extrovert and all in all I'd say a kind and lovely person.

Since becoming a manager at an English language centre 2 years ago I mostly spend my time working but in my free time I like doing what everyone does - hanging out with friends, travelling, reading, watching movies....

I love going to the cinema and genuinely enjoy the 4D experience. I am a huge fan of the Marvel cinematic universe and love everything superheroes.

I've just finished listening to the Harry Potter audio books - as I had never read it before and have found a new love for the series. While I quite enjoyed the movies (as I just binged watched all of them after listening to them all) they were not as good as the books - an opinion I never thought I'd say.

I have a lovely flat here in Hanoi and make an excellent house guest as well as tour guide / drinking buddy.

Hope you're having a lovely day and all round delightful week.
Best,
Lizzie

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people, offer my living space to others and have others offer theirs to me.

I want to see more of the world and I've realised that doing that from inside hostels or hotels is not the way to meet the people who genuinely know the cool parts of town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on Vietnam's Got Talent in 2015 because I can hula hoop on fire.
Definitely one of my stranger moments living here in Hanoi.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am respectful and enjoy spending time with others' as much as I like time to myself.

I am more than happy to find adventures on my own and do not need entertaining for every minute of the day.
Although adventures with others is often more enjoyable.

I can cook and clean - I am a 28 year old woman who has been living away from home for a decade.
I can take care of others... and myself... quite successfully.
