I grew up in a small town in the central of Vietnam then moved to live with my siblings to the south. Back then I was a really good student through 12-year education, my background was about science, I really loved maths and chemistry. In 2014, I did something that my friend would never do is that I dropped out of college in pursuit of learning what I want.

Later on, I found cooking is my passion and I have been learning how to cook different dishes all over the world, I do cook with some couchsurfers, which is amazing and fun. I have one year traveling through Vietnam to taste all kinds of Vietnamese dishes from the south to the north and my favourite place as always is Hue city. And I even had a dream of studying abroad to enhance my cooking skills by attending culinary school, but then things did not work out in the way I want. At that time, I was sad all the time because I can not fulfill my dream.

As you know I have to move on to make a living so I ended up teaching English to make little money to pay my bills. Oh, My God, teaching gives me like 360 around and I am so passionate about teaching English especially pronunciation, I love it. Until now I have two years of teaching English at Leadertalks.com and Hamavillage.com and I am a Cambridge certified TEFL English teacher. And I am also a photographer, I take landscape and portraits and I really love it.

I always challenge myself to learn more and learn by myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friend with and to learn from other cultures. People from different parts of the world have something unique, so learning from them would be beneficial for my understanding of the world and it makes me understand more about human and even me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

So I have been living at this amazing village widely known as Hama meaning happy and healthy. This village built by my family. This village is located on top of the hill and it is so fresh and quiet.

What makes this village special is that it is also an English school where students from all over Vietnam coming here to learn English and to relax their mind. Those students are young, compassionate and enthusiastic. I am an English teacher here and I need your help too, in order to bring more dynamic range in terms of cultures and knowledge. Each individual coming from every corner of the world have their stories and we would love to hear and share what is our stories to you.
