Hello!! My name is Phuong (fong).

Quitting my job and taking a break from school to just explore and live life to the fullest.

I have met amazing people from all around the world and really consider some of them genuine friends that I plan to meet up along my trip. I love meeting people to learn their culture and customs plus their food. I love food and a big part of my passion is tasting what each country, city or town identify with from a certain dish to dessert. You can't knock it till you've tried it.

Feel free to stalk me on instagram.

I hope my bio isn't too long but if you read it all, congrats!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Whether it's to host, surf or just meet up, I would love to hear everyone's tales of their travels plus learn more about the earth we live on and the people that walk it.

Everyone is a stranger before you meet them, so say hello and start a conversation because the person beside you could be your next best friend.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music and especially love discovering new artists and genres! Currently into German rap even though I don't understand the lyrics. Some of my current favorite artist now are Lewis Capaldi (love him atm), Noah Kahan, Tom Walker, Dennis Lloyd, Aine Cahill, Kodaline, Sam Smith and Lewis Watson.

For movies I’m a sucker for romcoms, I can watch them all day long. You can’t deny Love Actually! TV shows I go back to are How I met your mother, parks and rec, the office, and master of none are to name a few. As of current favorites is big mouth and riverdale.

Current read as of December 14 is The culture map by Erin Meyer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to a cadaver lab and held someone's heart and brain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to both teach all I know about my studies as well as learn as many new things I can about them! I also love to share any other knowledge I have and share my point of view as well as learn others on different topics :)

I am very proud of my garden. If you need a start on your green thumb (I'm your girl). Also I would love to share /hear stories of your trips. The best conversations are those that go on for hours and lose track of time.

Some stories I can share are about my time on a farm in a village outside of Rome that includes some German soldiers, to working on a farm with some goats and the time I got a tour around Corfu by a local celebrity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a great time with someone that is open minded that is willing to be taken in to your culture and to just learn. Also try any food you serve my way.
